The 2023 Yamaha Ténéré 700 Rally Edition is a Dakar-inspired adventure motorcycle built around Yamaha’s proven 689cc CP2 parallel-twin engine, producing 74.8 PS and 69 Nm of torque. It uses a steel double-cradle frame with 210 mm of front suspension travel, 200 mm at the rear, 240 mm of ground clearance and 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, giving it the proportions and capability expected from a genuine off-road-focused adventure bike. The Rally Edition features Yamaha’s Heritage White and red colour scheme, inspired by the brand’s historic Dakar racing machines, along with dedicated Rally equipment and styling. For 2023, Yamaha added a new 5-inch colour TFT display with two display themes, smartphone connectivity through the MyRide app, three-mode switchable ABS, LED indicators, a USB socket and pre-wiring for a quickshifter. With a 16-litre fuel tank, 895 mm seat height and a wet weight of 203 kg, the Ténéré 700 Rally Edition combines long-distance adventure capability with a relatively simple, rugged design focused on both road and off-road riding.
