You can put a tube in a tubeless tire.

Revit gear is fantastic in my limited experience.. even the cheap waterproof overtrousers and rain jacket. However if people want to spend 1 or 2 thousand euros on gear it's fine.. but not me, back in the day we got by just fine and at a fraction of the price. Thanks for the great review Pavlin.

Maintain a comfortable level of athleticism throughout your life so you can grow old and still be strong and agile, not weak and fragile. Agile. Not fragile. For as long as possible.

Totally that one person who took your advice seriously 🫡

Hits you with a machine gun nothing you can do. OMG Pavil you are so brave.

I am always listening to the background noises from the engine/gearbox. Not so the babbling of the author... no offense! What i am hearing is an incredible rough way of shifting... Every change of gear is clearly audible by a loud "CLACK" and that is not because of the gearbox of the 1250. Upshifts can be done without any noise.... Just shift in a different way!

I just take canned food for those times there is nothing around . Just a couple cans of chili .

I've been a fitness consultant for over 20 years, for those criticising him shame on you... You did very well. You have talked like a someone who knows what you are saying. You are on point.

BTW bought 1 in the sale as Comander2 came out. Always keep it in its bag at home and generally look after it following your excellent video. I will try and look after it a you say it does have a LOT of good points.

Not sure how can you go on trip in Russia. This country can't be on your map, it should be isolated, even though it is of a size of a half of the world.

The title of your video is very appropriate "this is madness " and the direction the motor industry in general is moving is maddening, technology is being forced upon us,in nearly every aspect of our lives,and getting out on our motorbikes has been one of the ways a lot of us have temporarily excaped from this.The fine tuning our skills of controlling the bike gives us a sense of achievement, as does the maintenance of our machines, by making motorcycles that can not be maintained by the owner,and can not be controlled (unless the latest software update has been installed)well thats taking a lot of the joy of motorcycling away from us, but we do have a choice as mentioned "supply and demand" we can just not buy ,keep our old machinery running,buy second hand bikes that are a bit" old school ".Some people will always want the latest bun not necessarily the greatest product released on the market, and maybe if i had lots of money I'd do the same,but would like to think not. My cars 22years old, and my nc750s is a very young 8years old,both mechanically sound and easy to keep running..

Good morning sir, tony here I'm riding since 14 years old, I'm 62 now I always have a top box never had a problem with it . I haven't done as many miles as you but I'm a very experienced motorcyclist swear by the top box wouldn't be without it

If I want to sell my bike, add a top case, got it.

Listen to your soul about your country, that's the best way!!

Very good video thanks bro

You a masterpiece man god bless you inchallah

what about Gs310 small adventure bike compare to Yahama u have way cheaper option

Even if it's a great bike, iconic I would say, T7 is not designed for long trips even if it can be used as such. You know, traction control is like airbags. It's nice to have them but it's better not to use them. The lack of traction control in 2024 shows us that Yamaha does not see this bike as a road bike even if we use it on long roads.In offroad we don't need traction control.

Good job

The route shown is easily passable even with the big GS. But OK, something lighter is better, basically the big GS is a gadget.

Now available for USD 340 including freight from Italy to Florida. Mine's en route...

Thank's from Austrian Scrambler Fan !

Great advice.. I never change anything until I figure out what it needs for my own use..Alot of people change things because of a recommendation from someone else. not considering weight riding conditions and ability.

If you want adventure, come to South-Africa and our immediate neighbouring countries. It will knock your socks off.

Mr Pavlin. I am 64. I was 11 years old when i got my first motorcycle (Honda 50cc minitrail 😁). After many motorcycles, mostly Yamaha, I bought a Ténéré 700 2024. Although I like it, the center of gravity is too high. Very difficult to recuperate. It does not need that much ground clearance. I am 6 foot tall. The seat is too high when needed to back it up. Do we we need that much power ? Other than that I love it.

Allo Pav, so after a year, would u look at the new T7 world Raid?? Updated suspension, etc. Wishin u all the very best mate an savin for my own T7, although, bein a short ass, I’m gonna have a 19” front wheel😂😂. Great to see ya again mate. If ya off on another trek lookin forward to seeing. All da best to u an yours.❤❤🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧💎💎🌎🌎

Thank you.

I’m pretty sure It doesn’t matter if it’s carburetored or fuel injected. The air has less oxygen and affect the fuel to oxygen ratio

Does the visor catch alot of air om tje highway?

A) Absolut safety isn't possible B) The brave die only one time C) Cowards die every minute

Wonderful

I have owned and ridden an aprilia tuareg 660 for two years and rode 20000kms, half of it offroad. I sold it and purchased a tenere 700 than I’m picking up this week end. I’ll provide a non biased review once I have ridden 20000kms on the T7 😀. At the end of the day I sold my aprilia because of part availability in my region. It was taking 6 month to get replacement spokes or other simple parts.

Im english and have a international health card that covers most of Europe , Australia and New Zealand and probably more and that gives me free emergancy health care. I've had Accidents in Australia, New Zealand and Bulgaria and got hospital care at little or no cost. I'm 67 now so insurance companies wont touch me unless companies wont cover or want a very large premium. I had a bad accident in Pakistan and got treatment and bike repaired for little cost. I strapped the bike to a truck then put it on a train and got to a big city. If you worry about every eventuality you wont go anywhere. In Bulgaria ive had good hospital treatment for my broken leg and twice for an irregular heart beat, and had very good treatment Good advice as usual

US Cost for Morocco broken leg: First Medical visit $350, first ambulance $750. Second visit to hospital ER $1000, Orthopedic consult $500, second ambulance 120km $1800. Third hospital ER $1000, Orthopedic consult $500, X-Ray $450, Orthopedic procedure $1000. Total: $7350 uninsured. Insured the price is “negotiated” to approx 85% or $6248. If you have good insurance the insurance company will pay approximately $4685, leaving the Victim’s bill at $1563 . The deductible is expenses for the calendar year which usually starts with a largish number, mine is $5000, and that would be for expenses already not paid by insurance. If you have already paid $4000 in medical bills for the year, then the deductible would be reduced to $1000, so you would have to pay $563. In most cases you would have to pay the $1563 if you are close to home, and use a medical facility in your insurance plan “network”. If out of “network”, typically the patient will owe 50% of the highest figure, and the deductible WILL NOT APPLY. Hence if traveling you can be financially ruined even if you are insured in the USA. You have heard horror stories about the US Healthcare System, it is worse than you know. Medical bills are the number one cause of personal bankruptcy in the USA. Every bad scenario imaginable routinely comes to pass.

After 55 years of global travel I could not have said it better, Pavlin. When all else fails, why not try the truth? People may actually start traveling and become so absorbed in the experience that they forget about the dependable, reliable motorcycle that took them to strange new worlds. Find what works for you and GO!

Part of what you said 'I don't worry too much' plays a great role which is the positive mindset which is very important. I teach and always remind my wife the 'those who worry too much and scared to be robbed, end up being robbed' not to say nothing wrong can go wrong if you dismiss the thought. I follow my guts somthimes and refuse to ride, I know my head is foggy and not supposed to ride. Thank you for your great videos

With in the EU it is the EU Health Card which is doing the job generally. Outside of the EU it is a travel insurance (generally not expensive). Travel incurance is about payment and mostly this is not a big problem if it is small things (independent whether you have been sick or it was an accident with your mistake or from somebody else). By higher costs discussion might start when the treatment was significantly more expensive than it is in your home country or when you have your documentation not together. Anyhow, this is only about money. Important is that the health system and the people on the spot react if you are really sick or injured. And usually they do independent whether this is the US or the Congo (like the Marocco example). Safe Journey and take care!

Taking care of ones health on the road is always and issue. Liked your video. I have done a fair bit of world traveling myself not always on 2 wheels but non the less it can be an issue. The one thing I ALWAYS do is purchase travel insurance. I thank the Lord above I have not really needed it. But having that peace of mind knowing I have it if i need it helps. I also agree with your pint about when visiting other countries and not knowing what’s safe or what to expect, and then of course language barriers. Thanks as always love the videos

Over the last 30 years I have paid many thousands of dollars for insurance and never used it once. I'm just about to travel to the USA for two months and am thinking about getting medical insurance only because of the ridiculous cost of even minor issues.

Some healthy, East European, mentality in this video. I fully agree. Just go and do what it is that you need to do and stop worrying about everything. Stress alone will make you sick.

I think it is very important to relax mind & body in any way. Riding can be extremely stressful. Even on a short ride,handling traffic, rider seating comfort & controlling. Breathing steady,relaxing grip on throttle to help cramp & finger tip tingles. Chill out,because as the saying goes,"it might never happen." Ha,ha(laughter can also help,because,let's face it,life can be so crazy.

I have no idea what you are thinking of the suspension , it must have been adjusted by the owner , I have ridden (I own a T7 ) and suspension is so far better on the Aprilia it’s amazing , , the T7 suspension absolutely rubbish and must be modified . As far as the sound when you have an air box up high you are going to get a lot of induction noise , unlike the T7 where the airbox is under the seat . With your apparent experience you should have known this . I think this is the most biased review I have ever seen , very very disappointed in this , you need the grow up. Very childish review . And that is coming from a T7 owner .

Fortunately I live in the UK where the government have increased the waits for emergency (and non-emergency) treatment so much that any country, ANY country I visit will treat me much more quickly and conveniently and comprehensively than I could ever access at home.

KLE 500 super comfortable low maintenance travel bike ... and cheap ... the only thing i rely miss on it is a fuel gauge :D and maybe a bit better brakes :D

I'm a European resident, so please correct me if I'm wrong. But if the ankle incident where to happen in the in different countries. *United Kingdom* In UK, you would pay nothing, because the NHS. Also, you'd probably wait 4 months to be administered to the emergency care post, because NHS. *France* In France, you'd be adminstered to the emergency care, but halfway through the process all the medical staff walks out because of a union strike. After months of bickering and negotiation, the emergency care staff continues their work after getting promised retirement at 55. *Germany* In Germany the emergency care staff will over-engineer a solution for your temporary malfunctioning ankle. *The Netherlands* You'd bike to the hospital with your broken ankle, only to find out your eigen risico (own risk) still isn't met, so you’re footing the bill. Meanwhile, populist politicians promise to cut healthcare costs, but after all the debates, the only thing they cut is the budget for your crutches. *USA* In the US, you'd limp to the hospital, but they'd deny you entry because your credit score tanked after not consuming enough stuff using a credit card, with money you don't actually have. They’d kindly suggest you apply for another loan to pay off your medical bills-assuming you survive the application process first.

👌👍

Quite right. Don't worry about what you cannot control.

Is your bike tubeless or tubed one. Does it support aftermarket tubeless Tyres?

Yes Pavlin, it is a very good answer ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
