@@silverhill377 agreed the bike is extremely versatile and one of the few bikes that can really do it all based on this platform. I’m gonna do a couple fuel range tests this week, one on Hwy at “above Hwy speeds” then one on fire roads and mixed in two track. I haven’t really tracked the mpg yet but it just seems to go through the fuel faster on a same route as other bikes I’ve had in the past. Always a trade off, more fuel, more range but more weight bulkier bike etc The bike is definitely fun to ride which is the root concept of owning a bike in the first place…

@@PaulCsomething I’m most likely gonna grab the oversized acerbis tank for this down the road I’m just hoping it doesn’t make the bike feel extra bulky, I’ve heard the o resized tank is lighter than the stock metal tank but adds about 2 total pounds overall when filled completely.

Guess who is emotionally challenged, just read your own replies 😊 I had a LOT of bikes, few ktm’s, husky, bmw, ducati, triumph and so on… and i tried out also most of the actual available adv bikes. The tenere is a really good adv bike, probably one of the best available in this cubic range. Currently owning the tenere extreme edition… only fools or newbies would dare to say this bike sucks. There is a few bikes i didn’t like, that’s not a reason for saying they suck. I will just add one exemple why some people like me will be « trigger happy» about your video : you say the skid plate sucks, while you are doing offroad with pirelli rally str, fyi « str » stands for street. Makes no sense since your bike is not even properly setteld. And to add up, my 701 enduro 2023 had a stock plastic skid plate. Ps. The extreme edition has the chain guide, a better rally seat and better fork and shock. Also the range is good… i can sometimes reach 400 kms with 15 liters wich gives approx something like 60mpg, in my experience this is a great range for a 700cc. My 701 was way above in fuel consumption.

[@Adventure_Ready_Life]

@@jrhaines30 your spot on, and realistically yeah the more we ask of the motor the more it gets thirsty! Most of the manufactures will list it on the brochure “55 MPG in BOLD” print then right below “on closed course going 50 mph” in the fine print, but yeah i think everyone wants the ability to go further, get off-road deeper and fuel consumption will hinder that at times. Off-road you don’t have to be going fast, wheel spin with loss of traction or the wrong tires can and will emulate that at slower speeds and still burn up that fuel. It’s an amazing bike to ride, really fun and very versatile ….

[@rfk76]

I've been riding different bikes for the last 20 years (including 7 on F800Gs and 3 on 850GS, recently sold my 701 Enduro) and in my opinion T7 would be an awesome machine, practically perfect, if they would: 1. fix that subframe with exhaust hanger that ruins swingarm after a minor drop and 2. Make it less top heavy. I very rarely drop bikes, but this one surprised me with how top heavy it was... and I dropped it on the dealers parking lot 😂 the rest are minor things. Range, right, but here in Europe gas stations are every other corner, so not such an issue as it is for you, but I get your point. Best!

[@Adventure_Ready_Life]

@@rfk76 yeah once the t7 is moving the balance is great,Ike all adv bikes for the most part, but I found turning it around on a dead end trail off-road at slow speeds I could really feel that weight up high, and I’m considering the that acerbis oversized tank for longer off-road motocamping adventures later down the road but that’s gotta just make it even heavier up top.

[@spring9603]

There's the T700 Explorer in 2024 which is significantly less top-heavy. It comes 15 mm lowered (lower suspension with less travel) and can be additionally lowered by 18mm from the dealer. It was designed with longer touring rides in mind.

@@neonix01 you are absolutely 100% correct, and the videos intention is to point out the obvious price point level build in stock trim to potentially inform others of what you may experience in parts that are subpar at this price point, all these “Suck” items are really no big deal obviously they allow the bike to be sold in the $10k range, and all these short comings can be rectified through multiple offerings in the very deep aftermarket field. The bike is awesome, and some will choose to run the base model stock, others possibly buy a better equipped t7 model, I will do modifications as I see the need and build it specifically to my liking, I will share and document through the channel why I went that direction per item, the pros and cons and what it costs etc, it’s an awesome platform ….

allot of chatter, bike seems fine to me

[@Adventure_Ready_Life]

@@intershield allot of chatter when that sloppy front end goes over any bumps off-road!! It’s a great bike, just pointing out the areas that make it a lower price point that are all fixable with the right cubic dollars invested, This bike will be more than enough for most people but there will be people even with information out there that will purchase it and will be surprised at the money it will take to meet there dreams ….

[@0043habara]

Just the fact that you own a BMW tells us that there is something wrong with you. There are things for those who have no idea what is good, and things that are appreciated by true connoisseurs. You can't mix different things. Good thing you didn't say it sucks because it doesn't have a cup holder. Maybe you'd like it better with a light show and a disco ball😂🤣

La Tenerè è una moto fantastica, non necessita di aiuti di guida elettronici , è molto scorrevole e come ciclistica è di alto livello, assieme al motore cp2 , unico consiglio cerca di darti tempo per conoscerla , ti darà un sacco di grandi soddisfazioni

@@peterkoning21 “a chain guide” and !!! exclamation points on your solid advice, that’s what you got out of this video? No wonder this society is going down so fast …. Chain guides are installed on thousands of bikes from the manufacture including Yamahas, I wonder why they would design a bike with one and I also wonder why they don’t think the Tenere needs one ….. Thanks for stopping by,

[@ememcleaning4543]

I bought 2 Tenere 700 I spent a bunch of money to make the bike the way I wanted and still hated the bike.sold them both within months. I did try twice but nope

[@Adventure_Ready_Life]

@@ememcleaning4543 yeah I could definitely see someone not loving this platform even after heavy modifications. It really depends on what you are looking for, type of riding and what bikes you’ve liked over the years. I love the bike for what it is, but it’s definitely one of the most underwhelming first impressions I’ve experienced on a new adventure bike in stock trim so far. It kind of feels like a lot of “content creators” on social media these days either don’t have a lot of broad motorcycle experience to compare this to, or they just want to make feel good content without really pointing out short comings etc

[@garycrombie2836]

Should have bought a World Raid tight arse.......

[@Adventure_Ready_Life]

@@garycrombie2836 not sure that model is available in the US market and I’d actually much rather start just as I have with the base model, ride it stock, figure out what I do and don’t like, replace the inferior parts and then proceed to build this bike to my personal riding style not a generic blanket attempt at an upgraded oem model. But that’s just my preference, bike # maybe 58 so far my in life, and not my first rodeo, and definitely not my last Tight arse ….. what’s an arse? Cubic dollars don’t always equal the right set up fur everyone ….. Thanks for stopping by ……. Ride safe out there

[@okinawanah3463]

For $10,000 Biden Bucks it looks like we need to spend $20k on a bike to get something decent. I think I will settle with a DR650 or XR650L for $3k or under.

[@Adventure_Ready_Life]

@@okinawanah3463 yep those Biden bucks don’t go very far these days!! I had a couple drz 400’s back in the day! It really doesn’t take much to enjoy exploring on two wheels, and the drz, klr, and xr platforms are inexpensive and extremely reliable machines …

The whole bike is a peace of shit with a reliable engine...I'm selling mine, had enough! Bought it brand new few months back 😢

[@Adventure_Ready_Life]

@@netalantan4609 damn that’s unfortunate. I can definitely see how this bike could be disappointing to some people, I guess I’ve owned much worse adv platforms over the years, and was able to get a pretty good idea of the short comings on the t7 before making the purchase. I also have some random health issues I’m battling with so a less aggressive adv bike is beneficial to that situation for me at this time, so It will fit the bill for motocamping and commuting for me, and I’m building my YZ 2 smoker for aggressive trail riding stuff for now …
