2010 Super Tenere

As far as I know, all UK bike prices are dictated by the Euro, because bikes are purchased from Japan into Europe using Euros. This is obviously complicated even further when Euros have to be converted to sterling.

yes, cant talk for other manufactures but YMUK buy from Yamaha Europe and the therefor dictate the UK price. The way I understand it YMUK is in effect its own company and not 'Yamaha' as in the parent Yamaha 'Japan'.

I would hazzard that some of the price increase was also largely centralised by YJ to cover production, management and future engineering costs... eg 2008 core overheads were valued at 158M yen in 2009 they dumped 48M yens worth to get down to 110M yen... profits though dropped from 377M yen to just 202M yen. In real terms that equates to 124,764M yen profit in to 2007 to a opperating loss of -173,669M yen in 2009!!!

Yamaha's bike division is responsible for 70% of the companies income with bike sales down 20% thats a lot of money you need to find.

Same same for Suzuki

I have had a few emails about the launch so hope this info (as posted to all the forums) will settle the gossip.

The bike will be on show on the 25th at MotoPlus Turkey.(MotoPlus 2010)
The video launch is the day before on the 24th and can be viewed on the Yamaha Motor UK website at 8pm (CET) (Yamaha Motor (UK) Ltd)

I can also now confirm that the dealers will not be getting any advance material, the last of the press releases should now be public too... i will read back through the thread and see if it has been posted.

Come on!!

Only 2 hours to go

I am very curious about this bike.
Will it be the new "AT" from Yamaha in 2010 version or just a redesigned TDM?
