    Yamaha had launched the Tenere 700 globally in June this year. Now Oberdan Bezzi Design and Gessi Motorcycles have collaborated to make an even hardcore rally-ready version called the Tenere 700 Rally Racer. The idea behind this project is to create a motorcycle that you can rally in straight off the showroom floor. This limited-edition motorcycle will offer high levels of adjustability, top-spec components and a carbon fibre/kevlar bodywork.

    While the engine and frame will remain stock, the seat height and riding position will be tailor-made for the rider. It will get better spec suspension that could offer a longer travel and more adjustability. The swingarm gets a new linkage as well. The brakes, wheel rims and tyres will be upgraded to rally spec as well. It gets two extra aluminium fuel tanks to extend the range. While Gessi Motorcycles have not delved into the specifics, according to them, the new motorcycle will be up to international rally specifications.

    In stock trim, the 698cc liquid cooled parallel twin motor delivers 73.42PS and 68Nm. The tuned Akrapovic end can are expected to liberate a few ponies as well. The use of lightweight carbon-fibre/ Kevlar should help keep weight low and give a boost to performance. You can get the motorcycle in a clean lacquered look or opt for a Yamaha livery of your liking.

    It won’t be affordable. We expect the Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally Racer to  cost twice as much as the the stock motorcycle. But then prepping a motorcycle for a rally isn't affordable either.
