Yamaha XT 660Z Ténéré
Road Test Tènèrè or Ténéré is Tuareg (nomadic people)
language for desert. The place Ténéré is a desert area in Niger and Chad in the
southern Sahara. Sahara also means desert directly translated from Arabic. So
before we start, I’m telling you that this is all about riding in the desert!
Passing old Mercedes taxis from the 70’s working
hard as the modern day camel transport, we headed towards the mountains and the
outskirts of the greatest desert in the world. To tell you the truth, certain places that I pass
in the desert looks just like Southern California, until you enter town that is.
-Or stopping at one of the many security check points. We’re in Morocco alright,
no doubt about that.
I didn’t feel very comfortable with the fuel
warning light being lit for as long as it was. I noticed it from around 270
kilometres of riding and I was alone on my way back to Tiznit with nothing but
Euros in my pocket. I decided to trust in the big tank and reached the hotel
with no problems.
Much more than that and there will be different issues. The new 6.8 litre air
box is one of the clues to the fine throttle response. The unique design also
features an easy to remove and clean paper air filter
