2023 marks the 40th anniversary of the Yamaha Ténéré, a proud accomplishment for Team Blue. As part of the year-long celebration, Yamaha Europe hosted the Ténéré Travel Trophy 2023 in June, inviting Ténéré riders to participate in a weeklong journey across France, Andorra, and Spain.
It’s the first year for this event—but it went so well, it likely won’t be the last. Over 100 riders gathered to participate in this inaugural event, which lasted from June 10 through 17, 2023. The plan, according to Yamaha, was to encourage riders to challenge themselves—but only as far as they felt comfortable. Thus, both off-road and on-road experiences were available, with every rider able to choose the kind of experience they wanted to have along the way.
