New Yamaha Tenere 700 Extreme edition available across Europe

Yamaha extend the availability of the new Tenere 700 Extreme edition with up-graded, longer travel suspension to customers across Europe.

Enduro21 brought you the new bikes news about the Extreme (and Explore) models back in March 2023. At the time it looked like the latest upgrade on the hugely popular 700cc twin adventure bike would only be available in limited countries. Initially that was German, French and Italian markets Yamaha told us.
