Tenere is a near license to print money. Bike has demanded nothing since it started. Dealerships don't have anything to do, no major issues, few options and everything is on the consumer. So they changed the LCD and you can get luggage, lowering kit and that's where all the confusion stopped, prices have been stable, supply is back on track so you don't have to wait a year for a new motorcycle. Yamaha also has huge aftermarket and worldwide dealer support so you can really ride it anywhere and you are only a FedEx or other express delivery away from parts.. I have seen people in Baja that started in Alaska and will do a Patagonia bucket list trip and have zero serious issues with the bike. Gas tank is a problem, can really only be solved by Yamaha and increase to gas will only make bike more top heavy. You see some obvious things that they should do. Respring the bike. Forks and shock are way too underrated and tubeless wheels. But for the most part Yamaha nailed the market, middle aged men who are going to be @90-10 and the 10% off road is not technical and fire roads and dirt roads. Bike can do freeway and keep an @80+ mph pace. They will probably introduce a triple and use the 900..or just make the bike, up the 9 to 1000cc, cruise control, tubeless, little better wind protection and it would eat everything else for lunch, GS twice the price, Ducati is $18,890.. Yamaha could easily make a new super Tenere that would destroy everything else.. the real puzzle is Kawasaki.. they have frames and a bigger twin but never even tried.. the Versys platform is terrible, the KLR is strange at this point..

😂😂 the t7 is the most overrated bike out there. The bike is top heavy and crappy oem suspension. Here in the states, we don’t get the world raid model, so the fuel capacity is under 4 gallons. The engine has no bottom end, and it’s a dog once you add luggage.

perfect bike ! cheers ftom Greece !

[@motoken]

Thanks! 👍

This or the MT10sp I can't choose. I think ill eventually buy both. I just don't know what to get first. T7 really fits my lifestyle right now. Long trips, lots of miles but the MT10sp is fas comfortable man yamaha make good bikes

[@kyled4156]

Congrats my friend! Looks like a fun bike

When i test rode this bike,one thing i couldnt stand,was the wind noise.man,you defenetely need earplugs.i think a shorter windscreen will be better than a taller one.anyway,for this reason and becouse am getting older,lower seat,i think i ll go for the transalp,which i didnt had the chance to ride it in the open road at high speeds,as i did with tenere,but i think its better.also i m not gonna do hard off roading.a want a bike to last for years,so,japan is the only way.and i didnt like the new vstrom that much,although the motor slays

[@motoken]

I've considered a lot of options other than another GS/GSA. its hard to beat the price of the T7 here in the USA. it was 10K USD after taxes. The package is just too good, also being a Yamaha, parts are cheap and plentiful. hard to say what is good and bad since everyone's tolerances are different. I think I commented about that wind noise as well. but I personally drive Jeeps and my noise tolerance is high lol. other than that, I have no real complaints.

I'm looking to buy one soon and ship it here to Hawaii. Currently shopping around. Great bike! CP2 engine very reliable.

[@motoken]

It would be great for Hawaii!

Tenere 700 is a great bike. It takes me everywhere, but a little too top-heavy. But otherwise it's like a train that goes everywhere.

[@MamacrackerJ]

Where is this, it looks pretty nice

[@Andreboitchenco]

What about the seat? Is it confortable? It looks like too narrow!

[@motoken]

I have to take it on a longer ride. but for 30 mins to 1 hour it feels okay to me. I commented on video that I wish it was a little taller at the seat so my legs have more stretch to it. I do feel like my legs are quite folded while sitting down. a bit more leg room would be nice with a taller seat.

[@Andreboitchenco]

@@motoken It is so, because you are tall man. Thanks for the feedback.
