I helped my friend buy his first Adventure bike 

Count one here!

I've send my brother a message "I would like a T7.." So.. Yeah...

Right?!! Makes me wanna ditch my 790 Adv r, lose some anxiety about reliability, grab a 2024 T7 Canadian 50th Anniversary Ed(just a graphics package for 50 years of Yamaha in Canada but nice!), spend the $$ where it needs it in suspension(although let's face it, an akro or pipe of some kind is a given!), and have a great bulletproof reliable adv bike that I can pack as many miles on as I want reliably as long as I take care of it. I'd miss the electronics of the 790 and the extra oomph on the road a bit for sure though. The crux of these decisions I think for most of us is how we're going to use the bike. I've always thought that the T7 is the better looker of the two too, but I think that there are plenty of opinions in either camp on that one. That's the beauty of the variety of choice we're spoiled with in the adv world, there's a bike for everybody, now let's go ride!! (says the Canadian who's in mid-winter riding his fatbike while he chomps at the bit for a spring that is way too far from now ☹️😆).

​@@WeaverGr997Hey Man, I did drive the 790 Adv R and had lot of troubles. From Electronics to complete failure of the rear Brake(while offroad, downhill just before a corner) and they tried to void the warranty for some of the Problems by you know, wrong driving style, inspections not done correctly(all done by a certified KTM dealer) and such stuff. After 2 Years of trouble i went and got myself a T7 World Ride. And so far, I've never been happier with a bike. No trouble with the bike or the dealership at all. And i personaly think it's Performance and handling are far superior to the 790. Can take it to any where and trust it to bring me back. And have fun doing it. And for my part, I miss none of the electronics of the 790. I always had the impression that they only hindered me, not supported me on the Ride. But thats just my opinion. If your thinking about a T7 just go to a good dealer and take one for a few days. You're going to have quite a bit of fun. And about the 20 HP difference? The engine of the T7 runs much smother and has quite more of a kick in the lower rpm's. So if your not driving on a Highway you will barely notice the 20 HP difference. Drive safe.

it's a bmx with power ! ....😉🙏 power of positive thinking

pro motocross rider for sure xD

As a fellow youtube rider since 07 i can confirm this.

Haha, not the first time I've heard that. Helmet on, let's go ...

Thanks Greg. I've covered some ground on dirt bikes with Hollis over the years. Just another ride with my mate really ...

Thanks mate, I prefer to just let cameras roll while having fun.

Ive walloped my 890R thru some 2 foot craters, loaded for camping, and thats when it wakes up. Thats what the suspension is set up for is hammering it. Its firm otherwise but it eats the big stuff with out any notice. It would much rather be pushed hard than timidly putting around. Typical KTM.

Thanks mate. I'm glad the World Raid handles so well and is relatively agile. I definitely don't regret moving from T7 to World Raid.

Yeah those Tenere's are sweet for that. My KTM would be stalling 2nd gear up that hill

@@defylifeadventureits all related to gearing selection, might want to test/try different size sprocket for either drive or rear to increase torque

Thanks Dave.

It's the rider, not the horse.

Haha, hollis has done 7000km across South America with me on 500EXCs in Motonomad 3, but this is his first twin-cylinder experience of this calibre.

I'd love to get it shipped to USA ... decisions, decisions ...
