Yamaha XTZ 750 Super Ténéré review. The classic bikes that won Dakar. Part 6 of 6
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- The Yamaha XTZ 750 Super Ténéré won Paris-Dakar a total of seven times and went on to be one of Yamaha's most loved bikes of the nineties. In this video, I explain what made it special and what it's like to ride off-road.
Please don't let this be the last bike video Harry, loving them!! Maybe one of the CBX?
+1 on this, more bikes please Harry!
CBX and Z1300 would be great!
+3 for more bikes please Harry!
Man, look at this ! ua-cam.com/video/oh2E6rf_wpk/v-deo.html
THE GUZZI PLEASE!!!
90mph across a field is seriously committed, lol. Great stuff Harry.
Should have done a ton.
The exotic cars are great , the trips to Monaco are excellent .. but the Dakar bikes and trips to Pyrenees / Morocco/ Spain on bike trails are just in a class of Thier own .
Thank you Harry
Thanks for watching? No! Thanks to YOU for making them!
You could tell the cows were impressed! Really enjoyed this series, so more bike videos would be great.
This was my first "big" bike, coming from a 125cc scooter. Lots of great memories. Same year, same color scheme. It was such a good bike around town, and an even greater bike for touring with bags and a passenger.
Very enjoyable, Harry, thank you. More bikes please!
Was a very popular bike here in France, of course this style was big on the continent before UK & USA etc. Stephane Peterhansel is a legend here.
He's a legend everywhere. So many times competing at Dakar both on bikes and in cars and so many wins with both too!
I sold my bike in Italy before moving to another country, and the buyer drove all the way from france with a trailer to pick it up.
A great series on the genre with a perfect balance of tech, history and personal viewpoints! Excellent work, Harry!!
More bike videos please Harry. Loved this series. Fantastic content as always. Recently bought 50 past issues of EVO magazine and love nothing more than reading them!
Loved this series! Nice to see a collector who actually rides the stuff!
Thanks!!! I lived in Bamako, Mali in the early '90's. This was THE bike to have. Great memories - especially trying to max a Yamaha 100 in town, at night. Cheers!
I really enjoyed these bike vids .. and look forward to any new ones you make ..
Love it. Drove the Super Tenere for 6 Years, in blue. A dream.
This has been a great series of videos for us bike/Dakar fans...thanks! Steve
Thoroughly enjoyed the series Harry! More bike content always welcome :)
The video I feared. Had one. Always regret selling it. It was absolutely mint. Went to Ireland. Gonna watch it then head to classifieds 😀
Thank you for taking the time to do these bike videos! They’re great!
Tremendous series, Harry - thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to future videos as always.
It's great to see a gentleman of Harry's vintage still enjoying these old bikes 👍🏻
Yes, more bike stuff please harry.
Keep the bike vids comin Harry, plenty of bikes in your colection to keep us happy .
Hope there’s more bike videos (and purchases) to come Harry. 👍
Here we go!! The first one of these I've actually ridden!! Token sumpguard can be grounded on track, if you're committed enough! 5 valves was a Yamaha thing since the first FZ750s in 85..... The flatspot can be cleaned up relatively easily with a dynojet kit. Brings it alive. More bikes videos please Harry!
I remember picking up my XTZ 750 brand new (Red&White) on a rainy evening, it morphed into a Gauloises Blue, stolen, and then repaired for me by Sidecar racer Roy Hanks, Custom painted by Rapier in Hull, Had the front wheel changed to a 19” , Dynojetted, road tyres, and a two into two stainless straight through exhaust by Gazelle, me and my mate went off terrorizing sports bikes in the Peak District (Gearbox was rubbish though ) 😝 Occasionally I was my Hero “Stephan Peterhansel” 😂😂 …😎👌🏻
Really enjoyed this series Harry. Thanks for sharing your collection with us 👍
I will echo what some of the others have said, if you get chance to do some more bike videos. Please do.
I’ve owned my XT Z for 19 years and love it. Super smooth engine. I have done the Paddy Dakar on it, which is mostly off-road, and it was fantastic. I prefer the engine characteristic on an off-road to the Africa twin, which I have also owned. I will never sell mine and I’m sure it will outlast me.
Great series Mr Metcalfe. Really enjoyed every one of these bike videos. Thank you
Absolutely loved this series Harry
More pleeeeeeeese 😁
I owned the XTZ and put up many miles over several years on it in the 90's. It had one major flaw which was those valves. ...they were really prone to burning out the exhaust valves, especially with poor petrol. It drank oil too...more so when the valves stretched. It required regular oil changes...mine was more a total loss system!
They were sodium filled valves and had a tendency to stretch meaning to avoid disaster they needed regular checking and the bucket shims doing. Mine burnt out several valves entailing a £900 top end rebuild but you're right about the motor. It felt a lot more powerful than those 69 ponies suggest.
Very easy to wheelie and pulled hard. Easy to maintain but cheaply made, heavy and very tall. Chain needed regular adjustment as it was far too weedy for the weight and grunt of the bike and rear brake pads needed regular replacement. Brakes were ok but if not maintained well...calipers seize too readily.
The pegs were too short even for my size 9's and gearbox quite clunky. Other than that it was a very capable bike but bettered by the early GS which had true off road potential. I've come full circle after years of sports bikes and now have a 1200 gsa...fab bike in all respects.
The Cagiva, Honda and gs were more versatile and really the better bikes. The fact that the yamaha won it says more about the hard as nails riders than the off road capability of the bike. I did run mine quite hard off road and suspension and balance was up to it but it was hard work. The motor was pretty good even by todays standards.
I had a custom pipe made for mine after the 1 tonne weight original (!) rotted away...rejetted and mildly tuned the engine to rid it if the low down flat spot and it sounded epic and went ike the clappers...good really for an indicated 125mph. Great fun to ride and good low speed manners around town. Had real presence and drew admiring looks as well as admonishing ones due to that open pipe! :-)
Harry - I’ve never ridden or owned a bike - but enjoyed watching the series - keep up the good work👍
Really enjoyed it too. Some of the supercars Harry reviews, most of us couldn’t afford in a million years. These bikes, on the other hand, start at just a few grand. Maybe Harry’s vids will inspire more of us to get into biking.
Well done Metcalf. More bike vids please.
I love the bike videos too, I've never been interested in bikes however somehow I am with harry! im learning a lot and enjoying it!!
Fantastic video - watching this made me buy one. A 1989 just like this one! Took it out for the first time today. What a beast!
Great video Harry. As a born again biker I bought one of these and took it France, Spain , and Norway. Great fun!
I’m Lucky owner of two Super Ténéré from 89’
The first one is a Chesterfield colored, with Wilbers suspension and 320mm front break Rotors, Chrom steel down pipes and a GPR exhaust, LSL steering bar, Hepco Becker crash bar, Givi luggage rack and Givi Monokey Paniers in red.
Second one is blue-with colored with Öhlins Shock absorber and WP progressive springs in the front suspension.
They have Ricky cross bar, Givi luggage rack and Givi Monokey Paniers in Blue.
Great bike, they give me lot of happiness during my on and off-road Rieds
I enjoyed this series far more than I ever thought I would. I'm not really into enduro bikes but Harry makes just about everything interesting and entertaining. Hats off Harry.
I agree …1 million thank you for doing videos of the incredible bikes of PD race. Any off-road Moto-X or Enduro, PD type works Factory made race bikes always fascinated me. I love the smell of Bel-Ray in the morning…. Thanks Harry and please,please, keep the videos coming… we love em’, well done ole’ friend.
Enjoyed the series looking forward to the road series.
This series has been the best, Harry. Thank you. Would love to see you on the Suzuki DR650 aka 'bushpig' for all us Aussies!
..and me 😆
I have been enjoying the motorcycle videos and would love to see more! I remember one of your first vids on the Kawasaki H2, look forward to the other bikes.
Yamaha has a special place in my heart.. Any product that they can create they can do damn well.
Another brilliant vid Harry - hopefully it won't be the end of the bike content.
Love your videos- maybe consider featuring your other bikes as well, buying guide and why they interested you. Keep it going please.
360 degree parallel twin, same as old Triumph twins, great sound just need to get the jetting sorted with that can on it. Ace!
Ah, so it is a 360°parallel twin! 👍
Thankyou for sharing these great bikes. It’s amazing to see how much the bikes transformed in a relatively short time from the XT500 to the S10.
This series has been awesome Harry, well all of your videos are. Thankyou again!
Lovely little series that Harry, and a nice collection Look forward to some more bike content!
Always enjoy the bikes Harry, keep them coming please.
Love the series. Please do more bike videos! On and off road is both fine.
I had one of these bikes about ten years ago as my daily transport. After three years of ownership, all I can say about it is that it was very heavy especially that bloody throttle. Top marks to the dudes who man-handled them in off road competitions.
Such a good looking bike, I would love to see some road based bike videos please.
I'd like to see Harry test his H2 triple Kawasaki. I was put off buying an identical brand new purple H2C eons ago, by a chap whose pal had a speed wobble and a terrible accident on an H2B. I ended up buying the neutered KH500, the modded handling and porting of which made it into a pretty decent bike but I still regret not getting that 750. The prices now are crazy though, compared to £850 ish way back when.
I hope to do a review in the future but the speed wobbles tended to be with the earlier H2 model and not the later H2B 750, like my bike. They lengthened the swinging arm and added a steering damper, as well as changing the porting to help smooth out the power delivery. It all seems to work as my bike is a surprisingly good bike to hussle, which I'll explain if I ever do the video!
@@harrysgarage Yes Harry, the early 500's were pretty terrible handlers as well, although I did prefer the H1A's dramatic power step. My own KH was ported to a point where it needed 3.000 RPM just to move from a standstill and it ate clutch plates so quickly, I had to double up on the washers atop 750 springs and also make diagonal cuts into the friction plate material, which would both be a handy trick for your H2's clutch if it ever lets go and you're unable to get a Barnett upgrade nowadays. All the best to you, have a good evening.
Love the content, pls more bike reviews, I’m riding a Yamaha xt600
Thanks for sharing your Dakar bikes with us. I enjoyed that very much.
Really enjoyed this series Harry. Another plea here for further bike videos please!
Great series and.. that is the one bike I could not bring myself to buy, for some of the reasons you mentioned, too much weight, little engine braking and, as a bike from a dealer was more a styling excercise, 900ie or original Africa Twin 650 any day.
I had a black and purple trim XTZ that was sadly stolen. Totally agree that they make better road bikes than offroaders. This has been a great series, thank you.
Greatseries, partly because of this series I bought a CRf250L for green laning and loving it. Cheers Harry!!
I own one of this from 1989 with 92k km on odometer. Love this bike.
This is the video I needed after long day at work
Thanks for the series Harry,Love the big Off road bikes,Had a DR750 Malboro replica years ago, Loved it.. Would love one of each, Cheers..
The usual Harry up-front honesty and presentation
CBX please Harry> I had one of the first in the country in 1978 I think. What a motor. I should have kept it!
As you probably already know, they fetch ££££ now! I had a Z1300 after passing my test in '82. Quite a bit heavier and less sporty but one hell of an engine!
Got one of those too and I completely agree with your summary! That Z1300 motor is quite something, even in comparison with the CBX, but then so is the weight of that bike..
I’ve owned an ‘83 XT600 Tenéré, 2008 XT660 Tenéré and my last bike, a ‘94 XTZ750 Super Tenéré. Loved them all! Just sorry I never got to take any of them to the desert…
A great series of videos Harry… will look forward to more 👍
As the owner of a super ten, yours is in far better condition than mine!
Great series Harry. Would love to see you test some other old classic bikes. 90mph on that bike was brave.
Excellent series. What an awesome collection.
*Sir Harry* Cracking fun segment. The new Ténéré T7 2021 is the business for off road riding!
Thank you Harry for this Dakar Bike series.
Loving watching harry use the bikes as intended. In yams defence on the weight, when they built them, plastic tanks were illegal in the UK so they had to have whacking big metal ones.
I enjoyed the series very much, thanks for sharing.
Very watchable series 🏍
love the content Harry, both the 2 and 4 wheels ...
Loving the bike videos... keep them up 👍
This has been a great series. I never knew much about this era of Dakar. Please keep the bike videos coming along, I spied cool Guzzi in your collection that looks right at home next to these
I despatched in London on a 600 Ténéré in the mid 80's.
It was perfect for the job.
Left a few good dents in the taxis that try to kill despatchers for stealing their parcel business. Not a scratch on the bike 😁
I did take it green laneing, but only once.
Cheers Harry. Farm riding is the best. Love this series 👍
'Here we go'. Epic. We need more bike videos please Harry. This Dakar series has been awesome
Love the bike videos 👍🏻
Great series, Harry! Keep them bike videos coming!
I enjoyed that!
I'm new to off road bikes,your dakar bike videos inspired me to get one of my own!
I picked up a mint one owner 1991 Suzuki DR 650 dakar, fun bike to ride, so light and smooth,kick start only, love it!
More bike videos please😀
All your videos are great, WE LOVE THE BIKE VIDEOS
Agree this shouldn’t be the last bike video
I’ve learnt more about Paris Dakar bikes from Harry than ever before
Typically Harry engages you whatever he’s talking about, more clued up about farming than before👍
Enjoyed the bike series, my favourite was the GS 800, from a period when bikes were more simple and basic.
No such bike !
Perhaps use its proper name ?
R80 G/S.
An 800cc GS or a
GS 800.
The BMW.
The first 10 seconds, best part of the video
Love it dude. I am a car snob with a few cars but love the motorcycle videos. Got my first bike on the wall at my staff canteen
I have one of those in my garage in Spain, bought for 300 Euros in 2010. Apart from some sun damage to the plastics, its immaculate. The idea was to use it around the campo, but I quickly came to the same conclusion: Its a handful on unmade tracks. My XT660 took over, and the Super Ten was retired to the garage!
Many thanks for letting us share your Dakar bike passion. Immensely enjoyable videos. Would love to see some more, please.
I certainly did enjoy it. Great series. Thanks Harry 👍
Great series this!!! I could feel how bad this bike was even on video!
Fantastic, thank you for doing this.
Thank you for a wonderful series.
Love them all. Thanx for sharing, good work Harry...
Great series on the Dakar bike's.
Thank you Harry for the 6 videos 👍
Rode one of these around Australia for 2 months in the mid 90s, and it was the perfect bike for that, fast enough on the road, and well suited to the endless red dirt roads of the interior. It was also absolutely reliable the whole time, despite being 2nd hand with 40,000km already on the clock. Unlike my one of my mates bike, he picked a Aprilia Pegaso 600, it proved to be a constant source of ball ache and trouble, the other mate we went with bought a Suzuki DR800, which was also almost boringly reliable. But the XTZ was the winner, wish i could find a decent one here in NZ.
90 mph across a stoney field 👊👌.... respect to you sir !
Great video, great bike 👍
Really enjoyed this series Harry thanks and as others have said more Bike stuff please.
As an owner of a modern Africa Twin and a fan of the Dakar it was great to see the series of the “original” Dakar bikes, great collection of “toys”. Love the videos you are doing and it seems strange to be so interested in the extraction of the Countach engine, keep up the good work. Robin White
