The Yamaha XT 660Z Tenere was a dual-sports motorcycle made by the Japanese bike maker Yamaha from 2008 until 2016. The bike had its heartbeat set by a 660cc single-cylinder engine produced by Minarelli. The XT 660R, XT 660X, MT-03, Jawa 660 Sportard, Jawa 660 Vintage, and Aprilia Pegaso 650 Trail also used the engine.

In 2012, alongside the standard model, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha XT 660Z Tenere ABS, a motorcycle that packed the exact specifications as the base model, but as its name says, it featured an additional safety feature in the form of ABS.

In the visual department, the bike was identical to the base model, packing standard features, such as a single headlight unit, a small windscreen, an engine cover, side covers, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a high-mounted exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.

The 2012 Yamaha XT 660Z Tenere ABS's power came from a 659cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system, boasting 48 hp at 6,000 rpm and 58 Nm (43 lb-ft) torque at 5,250 rpm.

The bike's braking performance was handled by two 298 mm discs coupled to a dual-piston caliper mounted on the front end and a 245 mm disc with a single-piston caliper fitted on the rear wheel, delivering optimum stopping power, enhanced by Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
