1200 miles in one day...respect Sir, respect!!!
My butt hurt just sitting on one in the showroom lol
Concur, well done. Most i've ever managed was about 650-750 miles in a day and that was ENOUGH!

Lol, when you get a new bike you love you put the miles on..I put 15k kms on a Himalayan in 3 months.
I can't even sit long enough to watch the entire video...
Iron butt challenge
I am deeply impressed. As a young'un I could ride massive distances, 20hrs or more between naps, usually in the hope of shenanigans and ladies favours at the end. The journey became the high point rather than the destination. Seeing you ride so far as the world rotates underneath you brings back my memories of the bikes rhythm, the change of landscape and light, the rotation of my ass on the seat and the uninterrupted thoughts and mental meanderings that living at 4500rpm brings. Thank you.
1200 miles on the stock seat....you sir....are a legend.
Me arse hurts think bout it.
A moment of silence for the wonderful Venture.
Thank You.
Creig Mac great touring machine. I took my last ride on it delivering it to its new owner last week. Still pumped out a 900 mile day in Texas heat like butter!
Well done Paul "again" and a big thanks to Yamaha for their support for a great cause.
My 2023 Tenere 700 is sitting in my garage begging to be ridden. My first long ride Im heading to fort benning, ga for my son’s graduation from boot camp. Mt home idaho to fort benning and back. Should be a good first adventure ride eh! Love the video man!
I remember seeing you in Dallas at the bike show, I had come to see the T7. You put on a great presentation. I just picked up my T7 today. Safe travels my friend!
That must have been like a kid in a candy store at Yamaha! Very cool. Looks like a fun bike
My dealer told me about this bike a couple years ago. I didn’t want to wait for its supposed arrival, instead bought a used ‘15 Super T, and still enjoy it. This video came out and boy did I get cranked up. My dealer located a pre-order that came available in NH and I drove the distance. I ride it on and off-road. Man do I LOVE this bike. My Super T is so neglected now. Thanks for the great review and sharing your passion for the bike Paul.
Wow. You are the machine, not the bike! I've ridden a Goldwing and 2 Electra Glides and the most i ever put on was 631 miles. Boy was my butt sore!
Props to the filming and editing crew that helped you put this video together. Love your thoughts on the bike, I'm definitely sold on it.
Hats off to you Paul. 1200 mile day on the first day of a new bike, wow! I've got two SS1000 under my belt and wouldn't dream of that kind of a ride on day one; great job and glad the bike was comfortable.
Okay these tenere 700 videos and reviews have just got to stop! I've had a tenere 1200 for 5 years and thought nothing could pry it away from me at least in the next few years... But all these videos are making me want one pretty bad! We have long haul Paul and Ryan F9 giving shining endorsements for this bike what more could one want? I wasn't really wanting to downsize per se as far as displacement goes on long trips but this bike looks like it handles it no problem. I wouldn't mind a lighter bike just for flick ability and I'm not that young anymore... I give it a couple more years I think and I'll probably be doing it!
I've got a dr650 with less HP and torque than the ten..I can do 130kmh(85mph) on the highway no sweat fully loaded with camping gear(legends say I hit 160 at one point on the same trip, can't confirm or deny that). I imagine the ten handles the highway pretty good.
1,000+ miles in one day? You are a stud my friend💪🏾
Nnanna Okoroji well, I just needed to get home.......
I am also from New Hampshire. Keep up the good work my friend
I know the bigger machines have been around for many years now and it'll always be a personal choice but I do believe the middleweights are not given their due credit with regard to their huge touring ability. The "lure of the cubes" is indeed appetising but there really is no doubt that in terms of practicality, virtually nothing is lost in using a middleweight for cross continental work and it always makes off-road adventuring (surely the whole point of exciting long distance/international touring) much more realistic and achievable especially solo.
Getting mine in a few weeks, the rally edition. Can't wait!! I've been riding an FJR 1300 for 7 years and now its time for a change :)
That laugh 4:47 lol. Happy to hear it's this good for handling highways with ease when needed.
I can't handle 1000 miles in the car. And you make it on a motorcycle 🎉 I love this bike. Considering to buy for myself
Wow!! impressive!! Only have 500Km on mine...I love this bike!!
Mine is in the garage... even though it took me a week to cover a thousand miles, including a trip to NH... loving it... so far my best ride ever...
1,200 miles in one go... wow! Long-haul indeed. Great vid, I might get my hands on a T7 this year. Coming from an old XT660.
Woo hoo a new bike! Your opinion on the T7 matches many other reviewers - they love it. Looking forward to following your new trips on your T7.
just bought my 2024 Tenere 700. so excited
I have 1600 miles on my 2019 DR650 . Can't believe you rode 1200 miles in one day , that unheard of . That very reassuring since my preordered Tenere 700 hopefully will be here in August .
Nice work Paul. I have an S10 and my wife and I have an OT practice in Sydney Australia working with people with neurological conditions. Love the T7 and will definately get one when COVID finishes and economy picks up. Cheers mate
Greetings from Jacksonville FL. Just found your channel. Bless you for what you're doing. My best friend in all this world was diagnosed with MS a few months back.
Can't ask for more than a best friend in that situation! Having you will be vital to adapting to the change.
Can't wait to see what you do with this new bike
Mine has shipped! Now just waiting for it to work across the USA
Jon Erik Greene yeah!
I also have one in my US garage. I am in love. Amazing bike. The wait was killer, but that is over.
Awesome Paul!
After much research and already knowing about this bike, I am convinced this is the best balanced bike between road and dirt, power and weight and overall capability under any common circumstance you will ride on. Anyone who speaks about it can't do is simply wasting space. I am buying one this week.
Well done Sir. I sulute you. In 1979, I rode 769 miles from San Francisco to Lakewood, Washington in one day. Once I got off my 1978 Suzuki GS 1000, I felt like I had been on a horse even though I had never ridden a horse. I was much younger then. I don't think my rear end would hold up to that many miles in one day now. Lol.
Well done and thanks for a great upload! One of these is in contention for my next bike as I have found adventure bikes much more comfortable for my aging, arthtitic body. One of my concerns was long distance days on UK motorways to get to the good roads but you have answered that one! Next thing is a demo ride 👍
I have one in France. I ride all over Europe on it. It’s perfect for Europe. In the USA I gave a GS Adv. it’s perfect for America.
One of the wonderful things about the Tenerife is that it has torque everywhere. You cannot stall it. the BMW on the other hand is easy to stall. It has very little torque at the bottom end. But it is a very cushy ride.
Loved this video....looking forward to more content...👍
I think that for the price and for the adventure, nothing is quite as good as the T700... Street or dirt, it's the unicorn so many have wanted.
Wow, I'm so happy that this video, your video is a final argument, that factory seat is not bad :D
Brilliant! You are a legend.
Even on a comfortable Motorcycle I would not do 1,200 miles in one day! Very cool bike! Great Video And Thanks For Sharing My Friend!
Wow! Congratulaions, what a ride!!
Congratulations Paul!
Paul, someday it would be great to get a bid from you in how to stay safe and alive on the roads. No one I know does more miles than you, and I am sure you have some sound advice. Appreciate everything you are doing regardless!
ExpeditionaryRanger like everything in life, I think the more you get out there and ride, the safer you become and more skills you gain because of the added experience only time offers. In comparison, I consider myself to be a terrible automobile driver and getting worse every year. Last year I only logged 1200 miles in a car! If I only drive 10 miles to the gym once a week, I'm not getting any experience and the skills I once had are duller than the spatula that comes with an Easy-Bake oven. Miles and hours on the bike and riding every day makes riding much safer which in turns increases the fun and enjoyment.
Wow, you have me beat. Most I have ridden in one day is 682 Miles.
Jims Trike Adventures when you have to be somewhere and hotels are expensive you learn to iron Butt it!
@@longhaulpaul They are. I did a short trip 5-6to Colorado last year by myself. Spent far too much on Hotel rooms
1200 miles a day. 1900+ Kms a day. That's impressive. Wow.
Nice review!! Thoughts comparing it to the S10 after a few more long hauls?
I have a S10 16model and wonder the same thing.
Im so fired up for a T7 But Im afraid to loose to much comfort.
Ok, i need to travel lighter but thats ok.
Soft bags instead of hard cases and i save some weight.
So longhaulpaul, How about an answer to the gentlemens question up above?
Best regards/ Sweden
I can’t see it anywhere near the s10 for long rides etc with cruise…
No matter what people try to promote. Plus the tank size ain’t quite the same Is it.
Damn dude, you were hauling ass on Old Bucktown Road.
No new videos for 3 months. Where did you go mister. I like your videos. I don’t know how you went from the Venture to a tennere. Your videos in the venture had pretty much sold me and the Venture will be my next bike.
Can’t ride 1200 without that throttle lock! Hopefully things work out for me and I’ll be able to pick one of these beautiful machines up for my self.
Waiting on mine. Should arrive in Dallas next week after a two month wait. I put almost 100k on my big GS so looking forward to comparing the two.
This bike looks like the perfect modern option for the KLR guys
Love what you do...I'm trying the same. I just bought one too.
I m guessing there is no way it is more comfortable on road than the S10. This still give the T7 a lot of credit to be more true to dual sporting with better trail capabilities but still be quite good on the super slab. Impressive. This has now sold me on the S7. It will be the next moto to park in my garage. I need to part with my KLR first tho,
Wow 1200 miles that's insane, old buns of steel there
You sound like super dave. Nice video
Great adventure!
Enjoy the bike life
I’m going to buy one this spring from a guy I know who’s selling his , excited.
I first saw this three years ago when I got my T7. After a couple trips out west (CA NV & ID BDR) I did the NEBDR last summer. 15+ strait ours in the saddle coming home (IL). As to saddles; I’m still on stock saddle and you’re right, it works pretty good for me too. I did however see a newer post by you with a upgrade saddle. Finally my question; what, why, and how do you like it. I value your opinion on whether my saddle should be replaced. Thanks in advance. 😢
Good luck Paul, stay safe. This bike is on my list, just can't part ex the 690 just yet, i need a couple more months with it.
thats a lot miles in a day well done paul.
Congrats!!
Brilliant....that was some ride!. It really is a terrific bike, it was such a good move to use the MT07 engine . What's even better is that the do it all , go anywhere T7 has real character!, I was worried it would be a bit bland but it's a joy to own...Cheers, Steve
I’m torn. Want a T7 but LOVE the Desert Sled. It’s the look. Just the look. T7 wins all contests but the Sled is dead sexy
Outstanding!
Wow, Paul, that really says something about the bike. Here's what I'm curious about for a future vid (maybe? please?): compared to the Super T, how does the T7 feel getting used to no traction control, dynamic breaking, non-ABS, & other computerized functionality that so many of us have gotten accustomed to? I love the thinner profile, small engine, (slightly) less weight; but what am I giving up or having to get used to (again)? Hope you can share some very well-informed perspective.
I bought one o' these in February 2022. I'll be keeping it a long time. Sometimes, less is most definitely more! Superb machines!
Mine is still in the crate at dealership! Excited! Told service guys to hold off putting together , I’m waiting for a bunch of mods I purchased on line😀
Did I mention I hate Mosko and cycle gear? (They keep taking my money 😛)
Check out Tech spec for side grip panels! Another piece of the puzzle I’m waiting for
In my country we call them the 'Iron Butts'. There aren't many tho. Salute!
Yamaha is the best, I have a S10 and love it, my personal opinion is on the road fully loaded and 2 up the S10 should be better than the T 700 but off-road the T 700 will be a lot easier to ride, but well done Sir 1920 km awesome
Since an “iron butt” is 1K miles, what would you call 1,200 miles? LOL! Way to go, my friend!
RevJRJJr 1.2 IB? Just another fun ride for me.
Longhaulpaul My friends think my rides are too long. I ride with a few who think 2 or 3 hours is long. I want to ride 8 or 10 hours. I wouldn’t mind trying 1K miles one time, but I think 700ish is more or less what I will stick to most of the time. Kudos, brother! By the way, I met you in Daytona about 2 or 3 days before they shutdown bike week for COVID. I was asking you about the Venture and you were telling me about the new bike coming soon. Maybe someday I’ll try to keep up with you for the first thousand miles.
Love this bike ..... I need one
NICE VIDEO THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INSITES, Hope your still rolling around the NE some place... I'm down here in the Boston area thinking about a new T7 in 2023 .. Im wondering what YOUR must haves would be for a T7 that will be Primarily a Hiway Bike with a few dirt roads tossed in, ITS New England HAHAHAHA ........ I'm coming off a KLR 650 and think the T700 will be the perfect step up for me before I get too old for long travel... HAHAHA
Very interesting perspective Paul, greatly appreciated. Most of the reviews so far are about the T7's off road performance, so it's great so see how well you like it for a long haul machine. A couple questions when you have time to address:
Did you install any type of "cramp buster" or throttle lock? If not, wow that's hard core. You must have an iron wrist!!
How do you find the stock windscreen? Any significant buffeting or noise issue that you feel you will need to address?
Thank you.
Morley Hi! I did have a throttle lock lever thingy on, but didn't use it much. The throttle pull is very light so just resting the hand on the grip was fine. Stock screen was adequate, but after spending the last two years with the 42" wide Venture screen, I did wish I had brought something to wipe the bugs off my helmet faceshield! If I had my helmet open, it was breezy but not horrible. Since getting home I did add a taller wider screen and now can ride for hours at 80 with my modular helmet in the open position. I'm actually at 6500 miles, so far the noise and wind is not an issue.
Longhaulpaul excellent! Thank you
@@longhaulpaul What model screen did you put on?
I WANT THIS BIKE! 😩🙃🥰
Of course i subscribe!!! Grrreeeeeat video!!!! Yes siiiiir
thats a trip even if you rest . new moto to breck it in new oil . yeah that moto can do it . i got a kawasaki vulcan s 650 new oil on it . problably can do it to . but the saddle sore . o boy . i also have a suzuki burgman 400 scooter that one may be also can do this trip . ride safe .

Respect and a nice bike too
Hi, Paul! Great video! Question: Did you miss cruise control? Thanks and keep 'em coming!
Impressive!
Go Paul!
Wow, chapeau!!! RESPECT
I live in Thornton, I bet your not far away from there? Im very intrigued by the T7. Long time dirt biker and road rider looking for the “one bike”. Safe travels in your journey!
Iron Butt Gold Award....
Glad it's smooth and doing good for you bro. I remember you saying a few vids back you were trading in the Venture for the Tenere and I was like. .? You rack up megamiles man that bike was not what I expected you to choose but looks like the tuning fork boys made a great bike again. How about the ST 1300 next?
Impressive, very !👍🏻👍🏻
I have that exact Aerostich suit. Mine was made in 1991! lol
It's real adventure bike .... and reliable. What more would anyone ask for ???
what do you think - this trip was ok / comfortable / enjoyable with a passenger?
March 5 2021; where are your videos?
This is great!!!
Great effort. wow
You can always TRUST a YAMAHA !! I've had 11, they have never let me down ! RZ 350, FZR 600 (road raced that bitch), 3 YZ 250's, R6, TTR 50, 2- TTR 125's (kids) FJR 1300 and a WR 250R !! Yeehaw !! Now I got to get T7 for sure
I live in Dover and ride an 1190r, let me know if ya want to ride sometime!!
Oh cool, someone on the east coast actually got the bike they put a deposit on.
Curious what seat you will slap on, that seat on your super ten looked mighty comfortable vs the 700's seat
This is the video I have been waiting for! I have a klr and need more hp for highway riding. Just got back from 6000km today and was reflecting on what to buy. I want a t700 but was worried about it being a dirtbike as well.
The seat was okay, and it effortlessly does highway speeds?
If so I am putting in an order now.
Will subscribe! I have a family member with MS as well so I hit two birds with one stone!)
You had me smiling until you said stone.
Just returned from Sturgis where I had a 10mm STONE blasted out of my kidney!
Healing fine, and yes, I'm at 9,000 miles on my T7 already, almost all of it on the freeway crossing the country. Last week I did a 1300 mile day. (Before the kidney stone)
Pretty good advertisement for yamaha
I live in Northfield NH. I have an MT10 though. I'd like to get a Triumph Tiger 900
So much for 600 and 1000 mile service!
GlockPointer serviced at 500 miles before I left Yamaha Corp. No 1000 mile service.
