With the release of the Tenere 700, Yamaha looks to hit the sweet spot in the adventure segment by offering a capable performer, both on and off-road, that comes with a simplified electronics package and more affordable price tag. After several days of hard riding on some of our favorite test grounds, we put the Yamaha T7 through its paces to see if it just might be the unicorn bike many of us have been longing for. Let us know if you have any questions in the comments!

The softer suspension is probibly a good reminder that your on a 200kg adventure bike & not riding a 100kg dirt bike. Its likely make you slow down & avoid a big crash . So for the average trail rider , is likely make this bike safer & more manageable as it is. This may have been done on purpose. Don't see any 1200cc+ bikes riding like that.

@Liberty4Ever 3 года назад

I like what Yamaha did with the Tenere 700. The Aussies are doing some relatively inexpensive suspension upgrades to maximize off road performance. I'd love to see a Tenere in the 300 to 400cc class, although for my old man riding, I'd be better served by a modern (EFI, etc.) version of the TW200. I'm serious. Yamaha should do that. In every case, adventure bikes need much larger fuel capacity. Why the 200 mile maximum range that is probably closer to 100 miles off road?

@dylanfairhurst469 3 года назад

I'd also love to see a lightweight 400cc version of the Tenere, would be great.

@marshallfischer3667 3 года назад

if your goal is to haul balls through the woods and through the trails KTM might be the answer but if you're a little more reserved and don't have that much life insurance the Yamaha doesn't seem like a bad deal..

@@ridewherever I'm in East Kootenays, BC. I think with all the single track the husky will be better. It's got better suspension from factory too. Thing is due to my height and weight I'll have to change the spring rates on either bike I get. The husky has 48mm forks compared to the 43mm. I also like that 25 litres for the husky too. If I was back in Oz I reckon I'd take the yamaha. Being in Sydney it's definitely more road to get to the trails.

@@yakbiker75 you’re absolutely right. And I live in Pennsylvania USA and in my part of the state there aren’t any trails. Everything is gated off or is private land. Our roads can be paved and out of nowhere can turn to gravel for a mile.

That suspension is a big concern for me as I am a heavy-set guy. I'd like to see a review on the 2023 World Raid edition to see if these things have been addressed. It's not hard for Yamaha to give better suspension. It makes it look as though they aren't confident in the strength of the fram to handle heavier suspension. Bottoming out with your weight in this video is so embarrassing.

@muspells 3 года назад

The fuel range of 200 miles is a real shame for what could have been the perfect adventure bike. Not too expansive, well designed crash bars, extremely reliable engine. Hell, i even love the black and yellow color scheme. But that 16l tank is a deal breaker for me. It's already 204kg, with a 20l tank how much heavier could it have been? ...or maybe they just gave up the chance to create a really good adv bike because it would've made the Super Tenere even harder to sell?

@jgs1703 3 года назад
