The Yamaha XTZ 750 Super Ténéré is a dual-sport motorcycle, produced by Yamaha beginning in 1989. It was named after Yamaha's lighter, single-cylinder models, which in turn were named after the notorious Ténéré desert stage of the former Paris-Dakar Rally in northeastern Niger.
Background
The XTZ 750 is a larger,
single-cylinder Yamaha XTZ 660 Ténéré. The XTZ 660 and XTZ 750 models superseded the smaller, air-cooled
Yamaha XT 600Z Ténéré. First sold in 1989, the Super Ténéré used a new Yamaha engine design containing 5-valve heads. A solid protective guard around the engine prevents damage.

The XTZ 750 was discontinued in 1996, but not before the Dakar version YZE 750 won the Dakar race in 1991, plus six more times as the YZE 850T.
