The Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré is a dual-sport motorcycle manufactured since 2008 by Yamaha. It features a 660 cc (40 cu in) single-cylinder engine, which is also used in the XT660R, XT660X, MT-03 and Aprilia Pegaso 650 post 2007 models. Though not sold in North America and some 40 kilos heavier than the original air-cooled Ténéré from the early 80s, many fans saw the 660Z as a return to form for Yamaha, following the demise of the air-cooled Teneres and the less popular 5-valve iteration which replaced them. The low-rpm efi glitches present in previously listed machines using the same, 660 engine were ironed out and the 660Z could reliably average 25kpl (72mpg Imperial, 60mpg US) which equated to 600 km or nearly 400 miles on a single tank. Particularly with its strong subframe, large tank and effective fairing, out of the crate the XT660Z is considered one of the best overland-ready motorcycles currently available.
