Is the Yamaha Ténéré 700 Really So Special?

[@slava_trushkin]

This review really shows how shallow other reviews are compared to F9. Everyone else are just reading spec sheets, while having absolutely no clue. This review contains more information than all other Tenere 700 "reviews" combined.

[@johnmalin2028]

It helps that Ryan has a degree in physics and actually understands the design behind the decisions Yamaha made.

[@suezix8689]

yep

[@MsSjaakvaak]

i wanted to say the exact same thing. Of all T700 reviews that i watched, none were able to explain why this bike drives so well. In fact, the didn't even try. Apart from that all F9 video's are so well made; i always loose track of time when watching because they are just such fun to watch

I have a T7, and he’s right on all points. Great bike on and off road. Geared a bit high for highway use, but it’ll do 80 mph no problem. Around town the drivetrain whiplash is severe due to the chain tension variance but it’s still tolerable. It is slightly top heavy but also not a real issue. And the bike is so simple that you don’t have any panic attacks about going to the middle of nowhere 100’s of miles from anything because you can actually fix any issue there is yourself. It even has tubed tires, so even if you bend a rim you can still repair or replace a tube (as much of a pain as that is) and keep going. There are no fancy electronics to break, just ABS which works very well, and the brakes are a bit soft but that’s actually a good thing off road for this bike. The seat is too stiff though. I went on a long trip and my butt and ummm… taint… were in pain.

[@Ritalie]

@@jgs1703 Motorcyclists seem to be most confused about gear ratios, and I haven't figured out why. Motorcycles have the worst gearing of any vehicle on public roads. Trucks today have beautiful, tall (high) overdrives that make the engine idle at 70mph with all the torque of modern engines. But then you hear motorcycles go by, screaming at 5,000 rpms to go 55mph, it makes zero sense. Motorcycles NEED an overdrive! WHY do we not have an overdrive yet???

[@dontcallmebrave]

[@trimble-tech]

@J G Well, Ryan F9 is the guy that made a video about bias in the motorcycle review industry, so I suppose he'd be less prone to this. [ kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZiqhmZ9jt1sh8k ] There is also a history of Ryan from FortNine reviewing his own bikes, such as the V-Strom 1000 [ kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2nVapduj6abbqs ] and BMW F800GS [ kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqbXlX-QZbykjpI ].

Honestly thinking to do same. Got also Mt 07 and wondering regular Mt 09 or SP. So far how you liking it? Is it like more power and better suspension Mt 07?

[@assortedpov]

SkydexFPS Yes to both, my friend. More power and better suspension. Also the engine and gearbox are much smoother, clutch is lighter too. I think the SP is worth it for the suspension - admittedly I haven’t ridden the standard 09 but I sat on one, it felt very similar to the 07 when I sat on it and rocked the suspension a bit. From what I’ve heard in most reviews, the suspension in the basic 09 isn’t much better than the 07. And it really makes so much difference; made me realise how much the 07 makes you work to keep it stable in certain situations. I don’t ride particularly hard, I’m not out trying to get my knee down on the road, I’m just taking in the English countryside but still the suspension has got me taking corners faster than I’d have dared on my 07. The forks are so much better under braking also.

Front headlights from Star Trek, front turn signals from the 90's.

The rear ones bounce like the ones on my old XT500 =D

[@srtspeedy4983]

US market always get the worst turnsignals. Europé they look better. Much better.

[@ScientiamVeritatis]

100% Opted for LED Turn Signals on mine - looks great!

[@scotteger6271]

I will never, for the life of me, understand why Yamaha continues to punish the American (and apparently Canadian) market with these outdated monstrosity indicators. I had them on my 2009 FZ6r, had them on my 2017 FZ07 and they were crap on both bikes. Lenses fell off on their own and I did change out the entire turn signal on both bikes...point is, the user shouldn't have to. I have a 2017 Triumph Tiger now and none of the lights need changed. Come on Yamaha...HID/LED headlights and taillights but big old amber indicators, really?

[@X85283]

@@scotteger6271 The Super Tenere has modern LED signals on it since 2014, I believe. I was shocked to see the T7 in this video with those ancient pumpkins.

That hill climb was insane... if it looked that steep in video I know it's way steeper in real life

It's in Kamloops, BC, and yep, it's a bit steeper in real life fore sure!

[@FortNine]

Gets pretty vertical at the top there. A better rider on the T7 could have had it, though. ~RF9

[@wave6413]

That climb needed 2 or 3 minutes of its own in this review. I’m guessing that the gs800 would get about three quarters up that “hill”?

I bought my own T7 about a month ago, and spent all this time absolutely loving it but in the back of my head one question was always crawling: what will Ryan F9 think about it? Well now, with his blessing, I can finally rest peacefully.

[@branchbrown3790]

How do you like yours?

[@farmin_bug]

@@branchbrown3790 to me it's the best bike on sell today. There are bikes that do some things better than this one, but almost no one does everything so effortlessly (especiallyfor the price). Basically I thinking the same as Ryan does.

Top Gear is like a cartoon compared to this production, in my opine onion.

[@MrChaiguy]

It blows Top Gear out of the water, and what's more incredible, it does it on 1/100th of the budget and 1/50th of the personnel.

[@Lee-xs4dj]

[@Toleich]

[@anujsahai8309]

[@kai-uweoch1159]

If I'd use a Tenere 700 for serious off-road riding, meaning climbing rocks and logs like in the beginning of the video, I would be worried about the suspension linkage. No problem with the 790/890, it does not need any complicated linkage system!

[@buenobro]

Great video, to the point and informative not repeating the other BS of others. I watched so many T7 videos, none of them had your information, as expected you did not disappoint. I love watching your videos, they are contantly getting better.

[@percussion44]

Amazing the info you can get from an enthusiast with a relevant education isn't it? Rather than some shill reading from corporate cliff notes. I like when some journo talks about how something feels. Like there subjective opinion is useful. Here an opinion ( light front wheel good slow speed technical) is backed by a sciency reason why that should be and how it was achieved. Bike is too expensive though. Should be under 9000 for a 700 ptwin.

[@restless_soulism]

@@percussion44 I am planing a ATW Trip so this bike is perfect for me. Price is ok at 9400€ naked. If you are on a tight budget, I would recommend an Enfield Himalyan. Itchy Boots has benn on the road for nearly 2 years on her channel, very reliable bike and very cheap parts.

I was on the fence about getting a Tenere. The videos that the others put out didn't really help and the few that I would see in the wild also didn't help. This video gave me solid reasons to consider one, and the ending with switching out a GS for one put the nail in the coffin. Time to call my Yamaha dealer.

@@jacobthorns5776 I'm loving it. It handles really well on the paved stuff. It's surprisingly flickable. I've done about a 3 hour ride and my bottom was starting to get a bit sore. The seat is a bit of a compromise between dirt bike and road bike. Best way to describe the T7 would be the Swiss Army knife of bikes, it kind of does it all.

[@jarrettguthrie1670]

I dunno, that sounds kinda insulting to the FortNine team. The production is better than TopGear.
