  • My Tenere 700 Long-Term review focuses on what it’s like in the real world for those who don’t have that much off-road riding time under their belt...
    And how many times i’ve dropped the damn thing.

    When the fuel light goes on, I went 50 miles at 70 mph (I had a small gas can strapped to the back of my T7, so I wasn’t afraid of getting stranded) and still didn’t run out of gas!! The craziest longest fuel reserve I have ever experienced on a motorcycle!

    5'7"/170cm here. Lowered the seat by about 3/4"/18mm, bought Daytona "booster boots" with a 1"/25mm higher heel, and lowered the bike with links by 18mm. Now the height is perfect for me. Also I'm going to remove my SW Motech crash guards and install the Camel ADV bomb proof front fairings. I'll reduce top heaviness and total weight that way.

    Anyone who want to ride a twin cylinder off road needs to do themselves the favour of riding an enduro bike for two years beforehand. Factor it into the cost of owning a T7. It will completely revolutionise your adventure experience. Trying learn on a T7 is insanity. None of the guys everyone admires (P.T for example) learnt on an adventure bike. There are so many thresholds you’ll never cross. But a couple of years on an enduro will allow you to develop the skills needed to use some of these big bikes capabilities. And then after all that, buy a 690 so you never have to ride a 200kg adventure bike again.

    • @Milaventuras1000
      @Milaventuras1000 Před 6 měsíci +28

      Totally disagree, I’ve learned so much on the T7 where I started off-roading for real, then jumped on a light bike and everything was easy, the thing is on bikes like this you need to apply the correct technic, with a light bike it will go trough sand, mud, jumps even if you do it wrong, a 200 kgs bike you don’t have a choice and need to do things correctly

    • @Twistsquishbang

      I had a 2022 690 sold it and got the tenere 700 what a bike!!! So what it’s a bit heavier that’s only in weight it rides so nimble for a big bike it will do everything I ask of it and it will outlast any 690 especially with that CP2 reliability

      Agree, I put 10,000 miles on my DRZ400S 70% street commuting 30% off road. Learning how to ride over sand, logs, slide 180’s to turn around on my DRZ400S. It helped me big time to prepare me for my T7

  • @sorenmelchior
    @sorenmelchior Před 7 měsíci +3

    Thanks for your review and thoughts on the T7. I considered one of these for my re-introduction to riding (hadn’t rode a bike in 24 years), and I wanted to explore dirt since it had been 32 years since I rode a dirt bike. I ended up getting a Suzuki DRZ400s this spring instead as a “trainer” bike to “get back on the horse” essentially. I think I made the right choice even with the limited range on the DRZ (100 mile range), as it has been a great reintroduction to both riding, and a great bike to train for more technical dirt/rock riding this spring/summer/fall here in interior Alaska. Sadly my last ride of the season was Oct 1st… as winter is now fully upon us here (6+ inches of snow and freezing rain the last 7 days). That said, I am thinking at least one more summer run on the DRZ, then I may consider an upgrade to the T7.

    Bought the bike, went offroad and got really scared of the size of the bike and to ride it offroad and to drop it. Went on a 4 days enduro training (with ktm exc 250's) and that changed the world. Got back on the tenere and got huuuge trust in this bike. If you can trick your head to that you're riding a light enduro bike, your t7 will acutally feel light and easy on the trail (with some training for sure).

    @chrisvantassel8867 Před 5 měsíci

    I think is the best and most honest review of this bike, especially from a non advanced rider's point of view. There is so much hype about this bike that props it up way more than it should be. Not that it is not a great bike but it lacks in many areas, however, that is reflected in the price. If I created the perfect T7 it would have the Acerbic larger tank, upgraded brakes, Cruise control, rider aids, more comfortable seat and and I would put a Tractive suspension on it. Sadly, it would make the bike a $17k bike.....which is why I bought a Desert X for $17k. If Yamaha would do these things to the T7 I would pay the price and love the reliability. I realize that many wanted the simplicity of no electronics but to have an ADV bike that is meant for long travel CC is a miss.

      5’7” here, and yeah I agree. I love the bike’s look and capabilities and am taken in by its reputation, but way too tall for me. The bike feels light enough to ride in normal situations but lacking advanced skills and confidence I would just be constantly worried about dropping it off road. Not to mention it’s one of the hardest bikes to pick up. Think I’ll wait for the Himalayan 450.

      I'm in the 5'7" club. Had my T7 over three years now 32,000 miles, yes it's tall but I'm confident enough to ride it off road, nothing to technical because of limited skills. I commute it everyday in London traffic and have toured in Europe on it. I love my heavily modified T7 and will be keeping it for along time to come. There is plenty of good even better dare I say it bikes out there, but for me the looks and reliability far out way anything else. Hope you find the bike that suits your needs. 👍🏻

    Your review is the first of many I've seen which perfectly characterizes the T7... Top heavy, easy to drop and hard to pick up. My 1100 Twin was WAY easier to maneuver, especially slow speed technical.
    Keep a little speed, and T7 dominates. Def not a good first time adventure bike.

    But since we are emigrating from the Netherlands (where you really do not need an adv bike) to Portugal I really feel I need to trade in my Vulcan S for a more off-road capable bike, and this Teneree just looks amazing and I already know I love the CP2 engine.

    I sold my Africa Twin to buy a Tenere my mates gave me so much grief until they rode it. Its 50kgs lighter, thinner and easier to manage off road as I am a shorty 174 cms. Thou it is not as refined as the Africa twin on the Highway. I can also commute into Melbourne on this 48klms one way easy as. I did the Safe 2 Ride with Paul and dropped my Africa up one of the hill climbs out of a creek in the rain. It was an awesome day, I am going to do it again on my new Tenere.

    I don't recommend rear shock lowering links as you risk tire contact with the underside of rear mudguard. It slows the bike and will hurt your tire. They may work better for street only bikes but off road you have too many sudden elevation changes and constantly braking for the big ones because you lack clearance for your back tire will quickly spoil a great day on the dirt. Did it on my wife's XT200 and soon changed back to OEM links. Just saying..

    Tipped over yesterday on the exhaust side . Haven't ridden in many months and finally got some free time . Did a little slow speed stuff to get familiar with it again . Found out the rear brake was gone from the start so I stayed on 35mph streets or less . Not sure what or why the brake isn't working , probably the fluid or something but the shop is getting a phone call in a minute . Very fun bike but it will get a stablemate like a TW200 for easy fun take in the truck and hit mountain trails etc .

But I will tell you that the rear pads do not last very long. I've already replaced them once. Bought the bike new in December 2020. Never had any issues. When I get around to replacing the pads, I will replace the rear rotor.

    I own a Aprilla Tuareg 660. Lifting these narrow middle weight adventure bikes is a pain. They lie very flat on the ground if you don't have anything on the bike. I did a, for me, challenging off-road trip and had to pick it up 4 times and after that I just said yea lets go home not sure I can pick it up a 5th time. After that I considered taking bags with me even if I don't need luggage just to stuff it with something soft and light just to give it some starting angle. I concede that I lack skill and experience but man T7, Tuareg and Transalp really do lie down flat.

      A KLR 650 is top heavy and has poor quality suspension. I found that in trying to ride around those limitations, I was learning bad riding habits. The best thing I did was get a better bike and learn how to ride it properly. Quality suspension plays a HUGE part in that. I tried upgrading the suspension on the KLR, but in the end, it was still a KLR and it didn't help that much. Keep in mind that my comments are geared towards trying to ride the KLR in rougher stuff. If you just plan to tour and do forest service roads that are decently maintained, the KLR is an awesome bike. I had many great adventures with mine. Taking a training class is BY FAR the best thing to do for any bike you plan to ride.
