2022 Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid // First Impressions and 12 Best Features

[@BurtoniMotors]

WOW, The Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid is the mid-weight adventure bike king. Thoughts?

[@MrAdam-kp3en]

Totally Agree 👍!

[@nunyabusiness7477]

Be nice if the us could get it. I'm actually in the market for one and would get it.

[@Itsthejourneynotthedestination]

Had the original 700 Tenere, bought this, love it.

[@everythingtenere]

Nice and informal walkthrough. I wish there would be a 16L low gas tank and long seat kit 🤪. I guess a lot of people now wish for Yama bringing out a suspension trade in program 😅.

[@PovilasPanavas]

you can always fuel it not to the brim ;)

[@gerard5890]

Cheers mate , yea can’t wait , I’ll be trading my 20T7 when they come out , need the bigger tank in outback Australia

[@mowgli6345]

It really didn't need a color TFT dash. Needlessly complicates the setup. It's not like there's an IMU or fancy electronics to manage.

[@taylormacdougall9694]

wish they would've updated the exhaust hangar bracket but otherwise this is the perfect bike! Going to try to buy one this summer if they come to Canada.

[@motorcyclingdetectorist6053]

I hope the tank design on this bike helps after market tanks for my 2021 T7. The only thing I don't like about my T7 is the range, I live in Utah and there are many dirt roads and trails out there that make the factory tank feel too small.

[@FitMuthatrucka]

Will this come to Michigan?..GO BLUE!!

[@BurtoniMotors]

Yep, it's coming to the USA

[@andrewmunro1551]

It better come to Canada !!

[@BurtoniMotors]

Call your local dealer and see if they've got any information. If it's gonna come to Canada, it should come to the US?

[@stevecarmack6267]

Three years in and my local dealer still can’t get a T7. I am more interested in the Rally than the World Raid but apparently neither comes to American at this time.

[@Jnolet88]

it'd be nice if Yamaha offered the larger tank as a modification of existing bikes. I'm a lot of people would pay the $$$ to upgrade their bike with a OEM extended tank instead of other aftermarket solutions (e.g. Camel tank)

[@KairyuRider]

As long as the USA waited for the T7 we waited even longer here in Japan…. I hope Japan sees this bike and I hope we see it before 2026

[@BurtoniMotors]

The T7 is made in Japan, how do you not have it yet?

[@markvaughn8096]

Im looking for a Replacement for my KLR and The only DOWN side to the Raid in my view is it needs Cruise control and a lower saddle.... My KLR had a 35" saddle till I ordered a lower concept seat... Cruise control would again be a throttle .... GRRRRR

[@HabitualFixation]

Thought you'd spring for the upcoming DesertX being a Ducati man or you up for a change?

[@BurtoniMotors]

I thought about the Desert X and while I think it's an amazing looking motorcycle, I don't want to deal with Ducati prices (insurance, services, bike) anymore. My Panigale is a wonderful motorcycle, but finically obnoxious.

[@willemdekker22]

€14.500 here in the Netherlands. The KTM 890 Adventure R is €17.600... so no-brainer for me ;)

[@keesverhagen9227]

Weet je dat zeker ? De anwb komt echt niet als je ergens in Zweden in een bos bent met een dooie 890r. Of in Turkije ergens in de backcountry. 6 uur sjouwen naar een dorp. Locals een vermogen betalen voor een pick-up. Het is echt geen betrouwbare bike.

[@db511]

Only can see this thing and the older version on KZbin, now every motorcycle brands in my country only focus on urban matic bike

[@c3h4organic97]

Yamaha datasheet says: 220kg (full tank)

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

Or 9kg more than a stock T7 dry.

[@wolffo999]

or 484 lbs wet

[@jeffcoulter7181]

Looks good, agree about the tank. A slimmer version would be great.

[@BurtoniMotors]

Yeah, the big tank is nice for a rally bike but give me the same thing with a smaller tank.

[@Eds_PanAm]

if I travelled off road more....but being only 5'7, I'm definitely vertically challenged for a bike like that, I like the Norden though, and I think I could manage that better.....but not ready to give up the 950 multistrada just yet.... that was a really good informative video though dude...cheers!!

[@2lbsTrigrPull]

If you plan longer trips the Norden should be more comfortable as the seat is really wide and your butt cheeks will feel at home. I'm 1,72m tall and the Norden is just right for that height.

[@Josh-ew1le]

whats the price? ive got a 2022 Tenere and literally none of those new features are something im interested in. I dont mind filling the bike every 200 miles. 99% of folks arent going to remote parts of the world where the get real range anxiety. Anyways that is a badass bike and im sure the public will love

[@Josh-ew1le]

Ok the stealing dampener would be a nice touch!

[@Erik-rp1hi]

I'll buy it, but won't be the first. Last week my dealer said my T700 is coming in (Ca.) and here is the invoice. After putting my deposit down in November I looked at the invoice and he added $2,200.00 onto the bill just because he can. Screw you I said and give me back my deposit.

[@dank9288639]

damn dude that's some bs! what dealer in Ca?!

[@raimotanila9374]

Hei, onkohan nyt jousitus kunnollinen täs uudes mallis?

[@BurtoniMotors]

Longer travel with new protection on the outer tubes, but not thicker stanchions. On the teaser bike it was reported that the 43mm forks would be bumped up the 48mm, that would have been a massive improvement.

[@richardsprings1414]

I'd buy it if I was looking for an adventure bike but I'm happy with my Africa twin

[@BurtoniMotors]

I’d consider an Africa twin an adventure bike, no?

[@downhillupside]

It looks like it'll finally be a match for the 890 adventure r offroad, but it's 10kg heavier than the 890 wet, with a smaller engine and far fewer high tech features. And it'll come in at probably the same price. They're not completely knocking it out of the park, unfortunately.

[@keesverhagen9227]

I owned the 890 R for two years. I do long traveling through Europe. And as much offroad as possible. In those 2 years i had more then 20 problems. And of those there were 3 times the bike was dead. When you are in the woods of Sweden or in the backcountry of Turkey and this is happening to you then you are cursing KTM. The T7 is a reliable bike. But the weight distribution is completely wrong. It is a bike for people who only dream of long distance traveling but in reality it is to (top)heavy. It is a real struggle to get it up. With the risc of getting a back-injury. Expeccially when loaded with luggage. If Honda would create a not so budget CRF 300 bike this could be the best bike for real long distance traveling with going away from the tarmac. But i really do not get it. Why not creating a 450 or 500 cc bike. Light and with a low gravity. It is not that it is not possible. I know that the World edition will sell bigtime. But it is still not the bike for the long distance traveler. Only when staying on the tarmac. They should have created a compartment as low as possible for the needed tools. Tools are heavy. Everything helps. A larger tank and keeping the same extreme top-heavyness does not help the problem the T7 has at all.

[@pedrovazquez9146]

Why not 3 versions, T7, T7 Pro (Small gas tank version) and the World Raid…similar to what KTM does.

[@cliff1551]

Why two filler caps tho if it has a level tube

[@mazada18]

So American will see it in 2.5 years. Maybe.

[@nunyabusiness7477]

Well while I have the budget for it, I want one now. I'd rather not get invested in different bike.

[@andrewaarons5058]

It's designed for the area's that you see them riding on open stretches for high-speed and rooster tailling on the curves dry waddi"s good range on the tank 5 hours of entertainment exploring jumping racing thrilling adventure

[@vittoriocostantini4137]

WAY TOO HEAVY FOR SERIOUS OFF ROAD RIDING. THE K.T.M. 690 ENDURO R MOTORCYCLE IS THE ONLY SERIOUS DUAL PURPOSE ADVENTURE MOTORCYCLE.

[@BurtoniMotors]

Why are you screaming?

[@fcalin21]

You want the original gas tank ?!? KTM showed all how it should be done and you still want an inferior product . I am out of breath !

[@BurtoniMotors]

KTM’s design is better, but it’s also ugly. They aren’t perfect.

[@fcalin21]

@@BurtoniMotors You probably refer to the headlight because the rest of the motorcycle is fain.

[@BurtoniMotors]

​@@fcalin21​While I usually love the KTM design language, the 890 Adventure is not for me. But, everyone has the right to their own opinions.

[@fcalin21]

@@BurtoniMotors In mi first post i was talking about the functionality of the KTM gas tanks. I do not care much for beauty in a motorcycle.

[@BurtoniMotors]

@@fcalin21 ok

[@justadam1917]

My Yamaha experience worthless warranty coupled with deceitful dealers

[@fun2rideadventure]

Relax .... The price will be over the KTM 890 adventure R's price ... So it's not worth it ....

[@BurtoniMotors]

How do you know what it's going to cost in the US when there is no word it's going to even be offered here?

[@fun2rideadventure]

@@BurtoniMotors How do you know the aproximative price in Europe?

[@fritzpohl]

Why not?

[@OSR_1]

890 adv R is £400 more expensive than this in the UK… So basically the same price.

[@downhillupside]

@@BurtoniMotors because of the approximate price in Europe for both models?
