YAMAHA XT660Z TENERE TESTRIDE/REVIEW

2015 YAMAHA XT660Z TENERE
XT660R TESTRIDE HERE: • YAMAHA XT660R TESTRIDE...

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

The ergos on a bike like this has to be 10x more comfortable than on a sports bike , but stop revving it and short shift it as its more of a turbo diesel performance, than a sports bike. Takeoff at the lights is where the sweet spot is . And no , you wont be scraping knees around corners either 😂

[@ronanrogers4127]

These aren’t bought to ride on asphalt adjacent to a beach, they’re bought to ride on the beach. Disappointing you couldn’t even find a gravel road to test how well it performs to its intended use. Safe riding.

[@robsonenduro3316]

dude, brembo brakes on this bike are one of the best features yamaha put on. Very good and strong brakes. Also do not mention in one sentence tenere and GS bikes....which will fail on you in a second.

[@sparkme123]

The issue you're experiencing with brakes are because of tires, the off-road bias really does effect the breaking because of the lack of the contact patch. Cheers

[@PetterIvarsson]

I agree a bit but I tried road-tires on this bike and the breaking was not significantly better in my opinion. I think I will convert to new fork and lighter wheel with single disc as some people has. Cheers.

[@wildone2163]

this was the last simple and reliable bike available in Europe. Glad I got it year ago, probably won't sell it ever.

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Ppl that have them love em hey, Every owner i talk to over hear says the same thing!

[@Allesopdemotornl]

Its a Great bike have one for 10 years now and I Will keep it for ever.

[@neilwiddison6529]

I have the chance to buy one here in the uk o5 model very low mileage. Coming off a vfr 750 worried i will find it abit gutless but i never us the vfr to the speeds it can do . Cheers Neil.

[@davidalfonso3118]

Great review but couldn't hear you with the background music at the beginning.

[@vidimacar]

U hold the clutch lever the whole time while waiting for the green red appear, not sure if that is convenience

[@nitrobucky]

Couldn't watch much that music made me want to throw my phone into an oncoming truck. If your going to do a review of anything don't have music destroy and overpower what you have to say. Almost sends a message the music is more important. So it's a big dislike from me

[@sobhi05]

Great video, but I'm pissed off that we don't have this tenere in the US. It's a great bike for riding to work and riding the canyons. This really sucks!

[@queenslander954]

Tenere looks great , but it’s little brother XT660R is a even better choice being almost 30 Kgs lighter .. that’s huge in motorbike terms.

[@PetterIvarsson]

Yes, selled the XTR for a Z and for gravel and smooth single track I like the R better mostly because of the weight.

[@GorgorothBergen-ns7il]

Don't be fooled, trust this Yamaha XT660Z rather than royal crap enfield Himalayan...,you find good used ones , nice bike.

[@pedroriding]

Good video, but i have to say i have one, and i totally disagree with you about the breaks. May be your bad feeling is related with the front tyre being a dirt tire!? Or the stock front suspension being too soft. I actually think the breaks are one of the best features of this bike.

[@ChaohsiangChen]

The problem is that Yamaha USA still don't sell them in the USA.

[@taraskompaniyets1039]

What a horrible pronunciation! Dislike!!!

[@budlistar5312]

Man, why doesn't Yamaha bring this to the U.S.? I think they would sell a ton of them.

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Strange, I just assumed they were!

[@robsonenduro3316]

because being a bit top heavy you can flip the bike much easier at speed. For off-road you just don't fill full tank and it's no longer top heavy :) After owning it over year it is the best handling bike I had so far, on and off-road.

[@SWCoastBodyboarding]

Fukn oath andrew!! Wicked review and it's good to see the shop on board. I have a feeling Yamaha Aus could be soon too but will see ;) If I have one comment it's the music at the start was a bit full on with your voice. Probably choose more ambient stuff but that's just coming from a non-professional POV. It wicked to see you cracking the 10k+

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Cheers mingham, Noted mate, Thanks for the feedback!

[@CitedFujitsu]

Nice review mate. I want to go ride one now. I had an older XT600e for years and loved it. Also love seeing Bunbury in vids, having lived there for years. Thanks.

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@Drillmybike]

I've had my xt660z for 2years,love it ! Great for commuting and touring (with tall screen),don't go off-roading,have got 2 xt600e's great bikes for winter riding !

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Good to hear mate! Thanks for the feedback!

[@bjarnemartens]

I bought the last one in Denmark after this review. Just love my Tenere.

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Thanks for the kind words, It will serve you well!

[@tariqabbady8422]

ABS?

[@kakudmi]

Front brakes are excellent on this bike. There must be something off with those.

[@SuperLaplander]

Very nice review. Thank you for the effort. Best regards from Sweden. Subbed.

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Thanks Mate, Much Appriciated!

[@MrFalloffalot]

500klm is a Heck of a Lot for one tank!! How did you find the Pivot Pegz? I 'almost' spent the Bug Bucks when they came out. But Do They work better?? TFS FF, Great review. RSOT >:)

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Pegs felt good but didn't get to take it offroad so wasnt standing alot! Would like to try them on a wr or something to feel em out properly

[@marshmellowfjr]

I wish they sold these bikes in the States. Awesome bikes.

[@danyel9256]

marshmellowfjr but in Europe we don't have the Kawasaki KLR650....

[@andrewnahnichuk6300]

Thanks for the review!! Would like to own bike like that!! It's great for adventures!!

[@yeniboyut]

I am thinking to get a tenere. If i would get it, i will ride it on asphalt mostly. Do you think ,that tenere is stable at 150-160 km/s while riding on it ? Also, does it be affected lateral winds? Have a good riding

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Hey, Should be ok at higher speeds although it might encounter a slight bit of head shake at the very top end as for the wind, It will catch it a bit but should not be to bad considering it's weight.

[@thomasdoe6768]

Dude, are you serious about your mic? Wtf? Worst audio ever 😂

[@scottb6815]

Xt660x is the motard and 660r is the enduro

[@02bigkev]

Great review, I think Id wear out the tyres that come with the bike before I get more of road tyres, Nice bike. RSM8

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Thanks Kev!

[@Adifeldman]

@6:06 - not a Duke guys but a mosnter guys.....

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Nice to see you took it nowhere near the dirt.....

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

Im guessing your about 6'2" +

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

184 cm whatever that is!

[@V4zz33]

6' + spiky hair cut;))

[@fa6529]

if only it wasn't so tall.. it's a problem in city traffic.

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

it is quite tall You do get used to it though!

[@V4zz33]

I am 6'4" and I love its height in traffic as I can see soo much more of the road and traffic ahead of me. The wide bars make it really controllable but there are some situations, where you can't pass between the cars in front while other bikers can pass.;)) Oh yeah, it will drink you under the table if you use it in a heavily congested area, and the speed limits are 20mph, 30mph, 40mph... these speeds are just not for this engine. If you live in a metric country, then you'll be fine with the fuel consumption.

[@beo7929]

are you from australia? do they sell this bike there?

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Yep Western Australia, Yep Been out here for years!

[@beo7929]

Thanks a bunch!!

[@FarmerFred84]

good video. how tall do you need to be to ride one of these?

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

If you can manage a enduro or mx bike you'll be fine on this, Just a bit heavier.

[@fred4262]

FULLFACE! thanks for that, I'll have to try one out

[@justgjt]

Albany West Oz.... nice place

[@Mook303]

[@MrVTrixx]

Loved the edit, great review!

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Thanks Mate!

[@dodgeskitz87]

500km a tank is attractive.

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Sure is!

[@V4zz33]

IF you're doing 60-70Kmph on the motorway, then maybe it is possible.

[@Rezaroth]

I thought it's discontinued!!

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

It doesn't pass euro4 emissions so the mt07 tenere will be replacing it in 2017

[@hendrik_2147]

Lee Bradley are you Talking about the Tracer 700 or is there a new "Tenere 700" coming?

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

Still current here in Aus! For how long i don't know

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

xtz 700 twin with mt07 motor to replace the xt660z for euro4 emissions the xt660z will not pass the test.

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

xtz700 twin for 2017

[@banditnev]

Do you think Dodgy would look good on one!!! Do like the dash, did I hear the rev limiter!!!

[@FULLFACEVLOGS]

It would suit him I recon! Yeah a few times haha
