Any man that can throw260 Kg's like that deserves respect!

And this is why I named my bike Matilda when I bought her in 2011: the Aussies gave the bike glowing reviews. This side (in South Africa) the bike was constantly being bashed by the BMW fanboy army. Give credit where credit is due and fair is fair seems to be the Australian way.

NICE BIKE BUT WAS THE CAMERA PERSON DRUNK...?????

[@cuzimaluzer777]

I'm thinking this guy prefers sport mode....

Umm, to turn abs off on these bikes put the bike on the centerstand and start the bike up and let the clutch out in 2nd gear, wa la, no abs, thought everyone knew this trick

[@travelinben1966]

Not a better large adventure on the planet for all the right reasons.Great job Yamaha!👍👍

[@derkenblosh]

Adding a 3-port solenoid and tee to the brake lines to bypass the ABS solenoid would be a better way to disable ABS (on any bike that you needed to remove ABS via switch). You'll still hear the ABS solenoid go nuts, but it wont effect braking.

How much this bike in USD?

[@dub2shoe]

Best review I've seen on this bike! The ABS comparison seriously surprised me.

[@blackbird69xxx]

By far the best xt1200z review ive seen and its 2010 now

[@brotherbrenden]

I brought the 2010 model 1.5 yrs ago. Its a fantastic road bike as well. The suspension just soaks up everything and makes for a very pleasant ride.

[@holeshot1721]

O boy that exhaust is everything that thing thumps!!! Wow lovely sound!!!

[@V4zz33]

I did a 300 miles trip on the day I got it as it was far from me. 5,5 hours in the saddle and all I got out of it was a bit of bum pain but that's normal sitting for 5 hours anyways... and even that was gone in almost 2 minutes after I got off the bike.

[@NateSail82]

Two things I learned here today, 1 I'm not as skilled as you, 2 I need that fucking pipe on my bike.

[@scottdemoor49]

Yeah, I don't know of a better all round bike to get out into the woods and back without worrying about it breaking down. Two thumbs up!!!

[@vstm3950]

thumbs up for sound! best. this machine is on my shopping list, hopefully mine in the next 6 months!

[@paulvanreenen6986]

Very informative review. I'm collecting my Tenére next week.. Come ride in Texas mate.

[@johncollins772]

Great job 👍 I do wish we had more dirt roads over here in the uk. All we have is congested roads with speed cameras.

[@GixxerZilla]

[@zimmy199]
