Yamaha Tenere Raid<br />
Prototype:<br />
As more <strong>and</strong> more new bikes were announced at this<br />
year’s EICMA, one that really caught our eye is the<br />
20<strong>22</strong> Yamaha Tenere Raid Prototype. Before you get<br />
your hopes up, yes, this bike is still a prototype, but<br />
it does look strikingly similar to a hopped-up Tenere<br />
700.<br />
The Raid prototype looks to be outfitted with about<br />
every part from the GYTR accessories catalogue. A<br />
full titanium Akrapovič exhaust system, oil cooler,<br />
oversized brakes <strong>and</strong> race-ready suspension are just<br />
the tip of the iceberg on the spec sheet. Photos also<br />
show a large dash with full road-book navigation<br />
display. In short, the bike looks like Yamaha said<br />
“Hmm, if we were to race the Dakar on a Tenere, what<br />
would we throw at it?” This purpose-built machine is<br />
still just a prototype, but it definitely makes us wonder<br />
what the future of adventure riding, or racing, could<br />
bring.
