Power doesn't taper off after a full exhaust and flash. Pulls all the way to 10k.

[@whitneyrides]

Nicely Said! I daily ride my T7 here in LA for last two years, the bike KILLS it in the city and canyons and has 0 problems riding it as a big supermoto even with the 21/18s. Couldn't be happier.

[@gleeriderjake357]

This is the best bike ever made. It set the standard. I quit sport bikes and everything else and this is my only bike now. Absolutely perfect. Only complaint is after 100 the front doesn’t feel as stable as it could but I stiffened the suspension and problems went away.

[@spadac4543]

Just bought a 2024 this year after lusting for this bike since it's release. 100% love it and everything about it. CP2 is probably my favorite engine ever. I had a FZ-07 a while ago and it was just so fun. Regretted ever getting rid of it.

[@ntovouleon]

I share the feelings of riding this bike 100%. Had a 2021 T7 that was stolen in February. Considering the competition, I really like the KTM 790 and Aprilia Tuareg, but every time I seriously considering it, I end up with the T7. Ima gonna get the insurance money and go buy another one. :D

[@DaleFairdale]

Seriously just buy it, I bought mine in 2020 and never rode it till i took delivery. Never regretted it once.

[@leeinwis]

Can you live off of it, i'll be homeless soon .

[@MotardTonyMKE]

I own a 2021 and love it! the sound is just amazing with a slip-on and I can cruise all day!

[@Flakey86]

Crazy, I might have purchased this exact bike from Mountain Motorsports. Picked mine up last weekend. Love it so far!

[@vincentraymond8067]

Just took mine ‘24 home tonight, was also afraid of the road handling because of everything you read&hear. Too many haters, this bike with the CP2 is just awesome, predictable and large usable power bands for each gears. Yamaha made a solid base where it needed to, modify it to satisfy your needs and it doesn’t cost a fortune

[@WesBurnhamPhotography]

i feel like ive been waiting forever for this video hahahahaha. Glad you finally did a FR on one! 😄

[@trevorbeaton9239]

First Ride a CRF300L, they are AMAZING!! I just bought one recently and HIGHLY recommend it! Thanks Chase for another great video

[@murrayplante7634]

My new favourite ride review, as I want a T7 as much as Chase does!!

[@Quotacular831]

I have a T7 and use it to drive to work and to drive off-road parts of the TET route. love it! I have the 2023 rally edition with the Akrapovic exhaust and that sound is so wonderful! Thanks for this video mate.. subbed to your channel

[@Tyler-ti9hn]

Great video. Watched start to finish, subscribed, liked. I need one.

[@1969cmp]

Watching from central Australia - the home of The Finke Desert Race.

[@WVGHOST10]

Chase been dropping the content this week! Can’t wait to watch and get caught up! Still loving my 2023 300ss I take my MSF course in beginning of may absolutely cannot wait to not be just neighborhood riding!

[@chaseontwowheels]

Dude thats SO exciting! Congrats on getting on two wheels officially soon.

[@Gearz70]

Hard to find a good on-road review, so thanks a lot. The CP2 is indeed an awesome engine in the MT07. Hope it drives as good in the T7, glad to hear you love it.

[@mikaelholmgren4340]

I have an 2023 and i just love it ❤️ Best mc i had have in my hole life, awsome bike 😎

[@smallbobcat08o.g.47]

OC. First bike i felt i needed that everyone including you had grest things to say about was the mt09 sp. Got a 2022 and have 15k miles on it already.

[@HenryDarr]

Picked up the 2023 model in White n red livery and I love it !

[@RP-xk8ji]

The bike has a soul... i was very surprised during my 1st ride.

[@emilenossin5098]

I put a Kaoko throttle lock for my T7 World Raid, works fine as a cruise control on the long boring roads.

[@Hugo_WP]

Love this bike

[@baer96]

OC: I found a 2021 T7 near the end of last summer for a great deal, I was suuuuper lucky. I’ve beaten the hell out of it off road (literally took out 2 small trees during a mishap) and it keeps on going. Just put on a tail tidy and it’s getting an exhaust and LED fronts signals next weekend. Best bike I’ve owned. Get one! Edit: It’s a blast on road too. If that wasn’t obvious. I mainly use it on road lol

[@Smallbore2wheels]

OC: Cue Patty's "i told you so!" 😂

[@JohnConnor12]

I'll be selling my 2019 XSR900 to put towards a Tenere 700. Want to get in a couple more rides on the XSR before I let it go, but I should have a T7 by early to mid summer. After buying a CRF300L, it totally changed my mindset on the type of riding I want to do.

[@gamerscouncil2262]

I own this bike. It cannot be overstated how awesome and practical this bike is in the city and off road. I live in downtown Tampa fl. I daily drive my T7 over my jeep and Mercedes. It’s just so much fun.

[@peaceandfood7952]

Do you have a white red black one?

[@jackmehoff2475]

Love my Tenere 700 ❤

[@zac6805]

I’ve watched all of the other moto-tuber reviews of the T7 before I listened to your take. All of the other reviewers have a weird inauthentic, uninvested, elitist vibe and they end their takes being critical of the T7 being tall and top heavy, the cliche remarks everyone makes. You on the other hand, review the bike as an overall package, without being hyper critical or nit-picking. That is what consumers need to hear in a bike review.

[@James-jd7ik]

Hi, from “Down Under”……I bought a T7 and I love it !!

[@emilenossin5098]

The ABS-on button will switch it back on when it is off. There is an aftermarket dongle to make the button also function as an ABS-off button. That's something you'll appreciate once switching more between on and off road. You won't need the scroll wheel anymore then either.

[@vincentraymond8067]

Thanks so much I just bought one and was telling me exactly the same: why not extend to scrolling abs modes :)

[@Tarukai788]

OC: the most clear one in my mind was the Triumph Trident 660. It was pretty readily lauded for being a fun little naked bike for twisties and nice weekend rides. Got to ride one during a demo day and i had no idea how much that bike would egg me on to open up the taps every chance i got. Such a smile machine.

[@MrTobytat2]

I've got a Trident and a T7. Couldn't agree more about the 660. It's amazing IMO

[@Coloumbian]

Chase is the only bike youtuber I fully trust Love your work man

[@chaseontwowheels]

I appreciate that man. Glad I'm able to help ya!

[@DB-sd3cw]

Unreal meat riding

[@LunaticPariah]

I'm getting ready to trade in my 2011 Road King for a T7. Took it for a quick spin the other day and it is an amazing motorcycle. Can't wait

[@leeinwis]

It's too big for you.

[@offthewallsurfer1]

How much did they give you for your Harley, I’ve got a 21 low rider S, thinking about trading it for something more fun. But I owe 14k still, I bought it back that model year for 20k 🙃

[@StreetRides__]

This is one of the best bike i ever owned, i replaced it with a Vstom1050 because the tenere is more focused on offroad, maybe 70% off and 30 onroad. Beside this much comfort nice engine and a lot of tork

[@chaseontwowheels]

Oh dang. What was the main reason for switching? Wanted a bike more focused on touring?

[@StreetRides__]

@@chaseontwowheels yup! And in the Netherland its iligal to go offroad and the roads that are allowd are not much funn. To small of a country. Like more a bike bike with some more power and just foccused on the road. Vstrom 1050 is the perfect bike with qs and cc

[@ddogmotovlog]

You guys don't have the FZ25 250cc over there in the US do you? would love to see your opinions on it if you could get your hands on one.

[@Frank_Torre]

OC: I've definitely noticed the laugh/giggles you get on first rides, but more so whenever you see Chase wheelie on a First Ride it screams he loves this bike. Also gives me the feeling once you get home Heather be like "So tell me how much you really really want that bike" Plus easy way to fund the T7 is to trade in the MT10. As for what bike I had avoided for so long after hearing a friend praise it endlessly, it was the Aprilia RSV4 Factory limited and my Gods that bike was freaking phenomenal. I've always been more than a lil bit of a Yamaha fanboy but the RSV4 Factory did occupy a full year of my life and if I didn't desire to own a track and daily R6 I'd probably still own the RSV4 Factory.

[@glynhannaford7332]

What is it about the RSV4 that you like so much, please?

[@Frank_Torre]

@@glynhannaford7332 Honestly there are alot of things I love about the RSV4 Factory. IMO it is the best looking Aprilia. It's the smoothest riding V4 I've rode to date. The ergos were more comfortable to me than a Panigale V4. It did get warm but not as hot as a Panigale V4. Outside of a test ride on a S1000RR the RSV4 Factory had the smoothest quickshifter I've experienced. The tech features are some of the best. Plus this maybe just me but I love a loud exhaust and a SC Project GP22 exhaust is just obnoxiously loud and I love it. Some days I get ready for a ride and find myself looking for the RSV4 in the garage. In my heart though I'm a Yamaha guy and the R6 is and will always be my favourite sportbike. That said I'd definitely recommend a RSV4 Factory or regular RSV4 to anyone who has the experience to handle it.

[@glynhannaford7332]

@Frank_Torre Thanks Frank, I really appreciate that. All the best.

[@maybeerainmaybeesnow]

Hey Chase! I know that I'm asking you to dig back a few years, but what are your thoughts comparing the T7 to the Scrambler Desert Sled that you rode a few years ago?

[@JCrozier1]

OC the bike that was even better than I thought it would be was the XSR 900. KILLER!!!! I think instead of a T7, I would do a CF moto MT450 and spend the other nearly 5k on trips around the country.

[@MotoTrauma]

Have you noticed any similarities that worth methion in riding, between Tenere 700 and 450MT from CFMOTO on stability, acceleration, road confidentiality, suspensions or anything?

[@XxJkatxX]

After watching this I am pretty convinced this will be my first road bike.

[@jonnyabrudan]

Yamaha tenere 700 vs Honda TRANSALP. I would like to see a video comparison.

[@shawnjoseph7522]

If they come out with a tenere 900.. book it

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Hear me out, scale up the cp2 and out it in a corolla. 2 cylinder but giant cylinders corolla sized. 1 down 5 up. Theyd be lime damn why does that corolla sound like a harley 😂 BAAAA BBBAAAA BAAA BAA

[@fchanMSI]

There is Tracer 900 but CP3 engine.

[@jamesziebarth8811]

OC I got the ninja 500 I love it to death

[@Lucas-ie2ti]

Finally! Chase and a Tenere!! we all been waiting for this.. I feel like the only bike that can compete with this now is the BMW GS900 which is like a German made T7

[@krisdieber9459]

German ya reckon

[@ChrisSauer-oe5ve]

China built GS 💯 😂

[@bdsurfer13]

How about converge the add'ons from the Tracer 9 GT+ to the T7

[@anthonycoffey6565]

If I could have any 2 bikes it would be a Tenere 700 & a gen 2 VMAX ❤❤❤

[@100868ful]

Maybe it’s not leaning so easily because of the rake. I wonder if they offer different triple clamps to bring in the front forks it would lean better. Also it is a top heavy bike. Just a thought.

[@rileylofin7653]

Could you do I first ride on the 2024 cbr650r

[@BrandonBicasso]

I lol'd so hard at 18:19 😂😂

[@chaseontwowheels]

mission accomplished, also same.

[@rd4k04]

You know it's possible to have cruise control AND throttle cables like my 5th Gen Gold Wing. Best of both worlds.

[@thierryfaquet7405]

or in the same category the aprilia tuareg. Which is just a better T7 really.

[@deusvastator2830]

I think any of the mid-weight adventure bikes that don't have cruise control are just shooting themselves in the foot. Yeah you don't need it for off roading or twisty back roads but for all the highways in-between it makes the difference. That's the one of the reasons I got the Tuareg over the T7.

[@rd4k04]

@@deusvastator2830 if I were in the market I'd have to get a tiger 900 because heated seats grips and cruise.

[@darrellsubera133]

Please do the off-road review ‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@wlt3585]

This isnt *entirely* related to the T7, but given you like it so much is there the chance of some adventures/less corporate videos being added to the rotation? Id love to see you take the MT10 or a rented T7 out on a scenic route or adventure or something like that! (OC) Im hoping to find that out with thr GSX-8R

[@thodoris3790]

[@armageddoon1]

[@TriAngles3D]

My idea of what makes a great ADV bike? -Lightweight, thin (an ADV bike version of a YZ450) -Long suspension travel and great geometry -Proven, die hard LOW-tech -High torque engine -The less electronics BS the better The Yamaha T7?

[@leeinwis]

If you got 12K , than yes .That's OTD price.

[@zackphelps3052]

This world be a great secondary bike to my Fz10..

[@chaseontwowheels]

My thoughts exactly

[@harminder87]

@chaseontwowheels The biggest thing the T7 needs is tubeless wheels. It's a MUST specially if you plan to ride alone. There is no way u can break that bead on the rear, TRUST ME i tried. Even bought a special took for it. Even if i can, do i really wanna change a tire in 100 degree California heat NO THANKS. I ended up spending extra 2k grand for tubeless wheels after spending 1k on making it off-road ready (skidplate, crashbars, barkbuster) and after getting the bike out the door for like 12k. That's 15k before my first ride off-road. The 2023 ktm 1290 s is on sale at my dealer for 16k. I just put 20k on my T7. Now i haven't ridden a all of bikes. I had the fz07 before. The T7 is sooooo fun in the backroads not so much on the freeway power wise. I am sitting at 7k doing 95k and 6k will get you cruising at 80 so not bad just not fun. I spend 10hr in the saddle on a trip the other day over 2 days. I went through rough single lane(wavy/twisty), gravel, easy dirt. That is where this thing shines like tight back to back corner mannnnn!! this is comes to life. I been thinking about getting a ktm 1290 adv s but after my last trip i don't if i wanna any more.

[@thegreattraverse7818]

Oc: Tenere 700 haha! I had an mt09 and I traded it for the t7. Best decision

Are there aftermarket seats that improve passengers comfort? The XR takes the abuse well but it’s not fast enough for me and the T7 looks like the next step + more enjoyable for when my gf tags along

I was surprised you said the Tenere 700 was hard to find in the dealerships as I see them all the time here in the Phoenix AZ area. I took the time to check inventory at the 3 closest Yamaha dealers (all Ride Now Powersports) all showing 3-7 in stock + close to a $2000 advertised discount at each location. At least here it's a buyers market for the Tenere 700!

Ya it's the first time In three years they have them now. I just got one two weeks ago.

[@richardwarsinske7064]

[@Jevta624]

How would you compare it to the Tuareg 660 ?

[@ChrisSauer-oe5ve]

Tuareg hand down way better bike 💯💪 Tuareg feels 50 lbs lighter because it holds it weight down low. Better suspension & fully adjustable. Power is a little more up in the rpm range, the T7 is down lower, but not by much. I have ridden both bikes same day, side by side. 💯 honest opinion from a vet of 50+ years of riding & racing bikes.

[@elitecorsair]

Chase’s legs are probably sore after those lunges at the beginning of the video l😂

[@CaptainCrossplane]

The brakes on this bike might feel a tiny bit lackluster in some sense, but that's because they're not focused on street performance. The brakes are more soft for off-road specifically

Good and entertaining review. 👏 I'm genuinely curious, why are you so bothered about cruise control or lack of ... ?

[@chaseontwowheels]

I look at adv bikes as great touring bikes and love to have cruise control for touring. I’d love to have it on this bike to do light touring to a fun off road spot then ride off-road. That’s basically it.
