I watch 30 Moto KZbin channels. Tim, You are easily the funniest and most entertaining. Thank you very much for making me laugh!

Funny. I wrote “3” channels but it was supposed to say 30.

Those indicators are the updated LED type and not the oversized floppy ones that came before them and most owners either have to tend to frequently or replace with these.

Cycled along that track a number of times as a kid... and once or twice in my old suzuki vitara before they put the gates in. ( and it used to be much much more off roady back in the day, then the NT smoothed all the tracks out to discourage off roaders)

It ended up getting torn up by too many 4x4 types building new obstacles. It was impassable in the end!

The Y T7 is at the limit of controllability and competence in real competitive dirt tracking in controllable size, weight and power and does things that were only possible by smaller, lighter and more agile bikes; In its latest version, the suspensions raised the height of the seat and the T7, while still tall, became a nightmare for short people with short legs...hahaha🇧🇷👍

The chap with the California used to have a Boxster. I thought that was a brave choice for living there, that he got a Ferrari 👀 I’ve looked at that blue house too. It’s just around the corner from where I grew up 💰

Sounds good, looks nice, seen them doing crazy things with the right rider on board, but I'm too short for this at 168cms.

T7 is great, just keep going, top heavy yes, but it´s ok.

How many people actually ride their new bike off-road? Most of what you said makes it great off-road compromises it on the road - 21” front wheel, tubed wheels, soft brakes, lofty seat height, poor weather protection etc. The Tracer 7 would probably be a better bike for the majority of riders.

I ride my bikes off road but I compromise on tyres. My Tiger Rally Pro runs on Trailmax tyres which are great on dry lanes, not so great on mud. But my proper dirt bikes have proper knobblies and a single cylinder. On knobblies the Tiger is pretty reliable in mud and filth but a very different proposition to my 701 and a different planet to my FE501. It's all a compromise. Tyres, weight, cylinders. You just take a choice. The Tiger is a smooth, fast and comfortable road bike which can do gravel and easy lanes in a heartbeat. With a bit of planning and experience it'll take you through snot, filth and slimy climbs and descents.

I hate those OEM tires. But I love my T7.

@gw2shibarashi674 6 ай бұрын

ok all .....good but why not to give half price and and buy a used f800gs? i mean they are so similar...

@timrodierides 6 ай бұрын

Yeah possibly - I’ve only ridden the new F900GS offroad (video coming soon), and it suited me more than the Tenere… but it was also £14000 😂

@-MORK- 6 ай бұрын

Sold my F800GS for my T7 - specs are similar, but the T7 just felt ready to rip while the GS felt sluggish and needed more revs to access the power. Also… reliability and cost of maintenance.

@gw2shibarashi674 6 ай бұрын

@@-MORK- ofc it would be better it’s 10 years younger.. But price wise it’s not a big difference if you want to save money and get a second hand.. But reliability? It’s very decent
