- In this video we compare the height of a stock Yamaha Tenere 700 and then install lowering links to see the difference.

I think you have completely missed the point on this video, I have an inside leg of 32 inch I’ve owned and ridden huge mileages and crossed continents on adventure bikes like the KTM 950 as well as ridden many smaller adventures on Cagiva elefant, BMWs etc.
I’m now getting on in years and find the Yamaha excellent for my senior needs. I’ve lowered it 20 mm rear 10 mm front. Riding the bike it’s so much more manageable and rides far better on roads handling is more nibble and flick ability through bends much more secure and precise. While loaded with luggage it’s far easier in every respect. Maybe it’s lost a little bit of its extreme off road usage but as an all rounder it’s improved in many respects. It is after all a dual purpose adventure bike not a pure off road machine. For me it really suits the lower set up.
What's your inseam length?
I'm about the same height as you are. I added links to drop it 20mm and went with the low seat. To be honest I didn't notice that much of a difference with either mod. I plan to put it back to stock and just deal with it.
Awesome bike though!
Remember, lower the back then lower the front. Keeps the geometry correct.

You think a 5.4 height is able to manage that bike?
Never say never but this is a BIG bike. It really depends on skill level. I would at least recommend checking one out at a dealer so you can stand next to it. Lots of other fantastic smaller bikes out there also.
I'm 5'9, I'm barely able to stand on one leg with it on it side stand so
not sure who told you being 5'9 is short, lol. Quite literally average height
You know, that's a good point!
