2022 Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid review | Is this the everyday Dakar racer?

- The 2022 Yamaha #Tenere 700 World Raid takes the cracking middleweight adventure bike from #Yamaha in an all-new, hardcore off-road direction.
With long-travel, higher-spec suspension, twin tanks, rugged protection and more than a passing resemblance to modern-day Dakar race bikes, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was only to be used off-road, but as we found out, this could make the #Tenere700 range a much more suitable long-distance touring machine too.

Bloody love a Mossy review!🍻
This review is already a classic! Thanks!
great review Mossy!
With the cardan shaft!-
- it would be the best bike for today!
Yamaha have designed a bike for a purpose and it’s a beauty. If that purpose isn’t what you want, buy another bike, simples. Standard Tenere is awesome and if this is even just slightly better in some ways then 10/10
Many will with a 40% price increase, more weigh and still only 72hp. It's a miss for Yamaha I feel. The original T7 nailed it at the price point. This one is over bloated, low powered and now over priced.
@@twowheelpilot and yet the suspension upgrade alone is probably worth more than the price difference let alone the bigger tank capacity. The weight difference is negligible. Orders are already coming in and Yamaha distribution probably won’t keep up with demand.
@@sarnbradshaw7382 it's PURELY a commercial move. Sure, some people will fall for the pretty sight...
Weight negligible??? it's more than a 7% increase!!!
Now google about engine overheating and fuel evaporating problems, exactly like the dual tank KTM (who abandoned the idea after a while).
@@PeterR0035 with full fuel and new owners that have owned both very happy saying they wouldn’t go back to original because although marginally heavier it feels much lighter with a lower centre of gravity. Strange about fuel evaporation, will check it out. I also owned the double fuel tank KTM and never had those issues (although it had many others).
@@sarnbradshaw7382 because Yamaha have huge supply issues. Not because of demand. The suspension Isn't worth the extra alone. It's 20mm more travel and some koshima costing with some new internals. Still only 43mm. Yamaha have excess to the best suspension available on a production motorcycle with the KYB SSS 48mm and we get 43mm and 230mm of travel.... That's a miss. Now I'm in no way saying it won't be a great bike but it could of been better. I'll keep my KTM and see if we get a T9 at some point. And yes I have ridden T7 and it's not very fast on the road. Off road it's fine power wise. Other points where it needs work. Power, suspension travel, top heavy weight. Non detachable subframe. Exhaust hanger to name a few. Rear rim is also to wide.
Yamaha have clearly developed an excellent very long term marketing strategy from the inception of the T7. First spark of brilliance was to endow it with a relatively modest powerplant which had already proven its bomb proof credentials since it made its appearance in the MT07 in 2014. The next was to deliver a very effective, accessible and uniquely low-tech platform which could fulfil most riders' needs in most environments but also readily customisable to any rider's heart's content/wallet. Next was to deliberately limit supply (?) in some markets - nothing like a degree of scarcity to encourage demand. And now after watching the worldwide user response to the model, they've tweaked it with improved suspension whilst retaining the unintimidating level of power. I reckon they had all this planned from when the concept was first publicised back in 2016.
Supply issues is real. It's cost Yamaha alot of sales. No one plans to be out of bikes for 16 months in some places! Not planned at all.
Fantastic review. Very high production quality. Well done & thank you.
Great view thanks for the quick post!
Nice presentation from someone who knows. If I wasn't looking forward to the evolution of electric bikes I'd fall in love with this one. I am one of those who believe that YAMAHA should have released this in the first place, even before the 1200 - back in the day me and a few other guys have been burning our keyboards trying to convince YAMAHA to bring the XTZ750 heritage in the present instead of following the heavy BMW trend. Not sure the saddle can offer enough comfort on tarmac for the extended tank range (especially it's rear half) but that can be fixed (though adding saddle height to an already tall bike is something to consider).
Nice one . Enjoyed your review, entertaining and informative.
The god of motorcycle testers.Didnt know you were here.Ok Ok Kudos to this channel for having Mossy on !!!!
And on a nice bike 👌
I hope they never load the T7 series with electronics.
Yamaha should make it with the MT09 engine it would probably out sell everything on the market
Allegedly the triple will be used in a SuperTenere replacement. I doubt it will be as dirt capable, but...
Watch that link they already building T9 on the MT09 engine and it will be released next year
Yah! And with a drive shaft! I would buy it right away.
@@thunderbear0 what link?
I built an off-road Tracer 900, biggest issue was the ground clearance, the oil pan is so low, you can ever catch it on a kerb,if you're not careful, I had a Danish sumpguard on mine...a T9 would be a touring bike, not in the same class as a T7, and no,it wouldn't be shaft drive,saps too much power!
Could you put some disclaimer on footage which is provided by Yamaha, as that is a bit misleading.
Too bad it doesn’t have cruise control as standard
I agree but there's easy solution its called throttle locker install
Amazing that they didn’t add the things the original T7 is missing… 🙄👎🏼
More expensive, a little more fuel, a TFT display, a little better tuned Kayaba forks/shock… Really not what the market was hoping for 🥱😴
@@fairdinkum9454 what was you expecting?
@@thunderbear0 For me those are two completely different things. Cruise control is great for highways and throttle lock is great if you want to relax your right hand for few seconds. Throttle lock does not really work for keeping your speed controlled in real world situations.
Great work. Are the tanks metal or plastic material?
Eeez a royt rorty moova dat Mossy ! Top shelf informant.
Fred dibnah lives 👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Great review, thank you.
Really fantastice bike💥💥💥
No mate not Europe Australia 🇦🇺 is we’re you want to ride an Adventure bike ( any ADV ) we have ADV MECCA here of just about every terrain possible, desert 🏜, Mountain ⛰ High County, plains , rain forest 🌳 “ you name we ride it 👍
Ride safe and God bless 🙏
I have a BMW 1250 GS and I plan on doing the TransAmerican trail. I think this might be the perfect bike.
The Yamaha Tenere , although a great bike is a little bit top heavy.
Motor is a little weak too.
@@leanit5756 I honestly can’t criticise the engine. It punches well above its weight. There’s a decent amount of torque everywhere. Obviously, it’s not going to blow you socks off with blistering power but it’s not bad.
Because of height i dont think it effects too much
And engine is just fine its reliable have enough power to rip off dirt and can easily to 120km to 150 thats enough
@@thunderbear0 not enough. Boring on the road. I'm on a super adventure R with 160 with is over kill I admit. 72hp is lame however. I think 100 ish hp is a good amount in a ADV bike. I agree the spread of power on the T7 is excellent however.
I live in Portugal close to the border with Spain. I'd like to know where Mossy did this test ride. I wanna take my World Raid there!
Is it possible to lower the bike?
Decent review
Mossy you are brilliant but as good as the t7 is, it's still too heavy on more than hardpack
we need this bike in america
Too baby I can't get one here in Texas. 😢
Desert X is the prettiest bike in the world 🌎
Anyone know when these are coming to the USA? Its not even listed as a model on the US website yet.
Where is Tenere 900, Yamaha?
They will release it in 2023 and the first prototype will be on show this year
@@thunderbear0Nope
Can it accept the same accessories as the old T7 with exception to the upgrades?
WOW
In my dreams ☺️☺️☺️
Are the TFT screen controls still on the right with this one?
Does it ower heating like ktm on slow tec. rides?
Does th3 bike make ya pekker pop up? If so its a winnna
time to play.
Its priced to high for a 700cc, youre at the price border of Africa twin which I would rather have. AT is better built imo
Capping the HP to 72 to save the rider from themselves. That's BS at all kinds of levels.
Go Mossy!
WTF? Not 44 Teeth? Hmmm.
Assuming Mossy's a freelancer
Mossy is a motorbike prostitute. If you pay him, he’ll do anything for anyone 😂
Knox channel too...broken bones and all!
I have to say I'm disappointed. Huge increase in cost, weight and still no more power. I'm a KTM rider but I'm not happy the way the brand has gone. Terrible reliability record, over pricing and Chinese build for some models. I really wanted to sell my KTM and buy the T7 WR. 72hp is lame however. I'll hold on to my KTM 1290 super adventure R. It's a rocket ship, goes everywhere and I do really take it off road. Landed it so hard I smashed the rear shock housing from bottoming. A little disappointed it broke like that but I almost expect a KTM to break these days. Dispite all this I do love it. I'd hoped this T7 WR was a 208kg 90hp and 250mm of travel and I'd have flicked my 1290R. Maybe Yamaha should do a T9 WR for us very adventurous adventure rides. While you are at it Yamaha why not a 250/300 WR two stroke with six speed gear box, Ballance shaft and E start. Add a Lectron carb for good measure. Not into this Tpi groove... Frankly I don't know how the Japanese miss the market so much. It's not hard to see what people want. The gaps. What they should make. They could and would make them very well indeed too. Alot of the reason KTM has got so big is they directly respond to the market and make what people want. It's well known KTM monitor the forums for direct market information. The right demographic is gold for information. Plus there isn't any Japanese alternative. Take the 890R, over priced yes but it's bang on where it needs to be power wise and 250mm suspension travel plus weight. The original T7 was a revelation due to its keen price. Unfortunately that has grown on the original and this T7 WR is a huge 40% gain in cost. As for my other comment, KTM best selling two strokes are the 250/300. Again what does Yamaha offer? Nothing in a WR and most certainly nothing modern. How about a R9 Yamaha with the CP3 motor? Seems to me the designer and the marketing department need a kick up the motorcycle reality ass. I love Yamaha and I think this is why it frustrates me so much.
What’s up wit the 2010- video quality…? 🙄
Promoting go pro hero4 lol 😆
Mossy!!
