It is Time for Change - I Got Tenere 700!

Every End is a New Beginning!
After I have done 193,000 trouble-free km on the old Yamaha XT660Z it is time for a change. The most logical choice for me is of course the new Tenere 700. In this video, I will tell you what modifications I plan to do in the near future.

[@PilotBlogDenys]

Congratulations!!! That bike is a Dream machine for tourism!

[@motorcycleadventures]

I agree!

[@bukarabdullahi127]

Surprised to see you here... Bup- Bump!!

[@kostasrestas]

I knew it, i knew it!!!! congrats Pavlin!! for me, you are the best person to make us ''understand'' this bike!! I wish to you more than 193000 kms with this new machine!! cheers from Greece!!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks!

[@IdealBike]

I am happy for you, finally a new bike! 😁 🎉🎉🎉 You definitely deserve a bike like this, wish you many many Km full of joy and beautiful roads!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thank you, Arthur!

[@1Mcoach]

Finally!❤️ All the best Pavle in next 200,000kms :)

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks!

[@charlescummings1484]

Happy for Pavlin! I switched from a 690 to the T7 just over a year ago. It's setup for motorcycle adventures of any kind. All with helpful tips from Pavlin. Good for you. From CT, U.S.A.

[@MrEtnorb]

I’d fit a centrestand. Essential for chain adjusting, cleaning and oiling and general maintenance. When you get a flat you can get either wheel off the ground by moving your luggage on and off the bike

[@marcelvanbodegom]

The center stand on the tenere sticks out a lot on the left side. You can easily hook a small tree or a big beach with that side stand while riding offroad. And it adds weight. I don't think he will put a center stand on this bike.

[@alexandergotz5568]

I always knew the day would come. But the Tenere 700 is also simply the best modern motorcycle…

[@kicekap]

It is great to hear and watch that you finally have this new motorcycle. I can't wait to see your foughts and mods. I got mine since September and I love it.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Right on!

[@krzysztofg2145]

Wow! That was unexpected! Congratulations Pavlin - enjoy your great trips on this great machine :D

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks!

[@enduromotorradtouren]

We all expected this change, Pavlin. Looking forward to how your mods will prove themselves on travels. I like your no-fuzz-but-honest-words style very much. Thanks for your channel, Günter from Günter/Germany

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks, Günter!

[@dostana8393]

Pauline you are my favourite guy for motorcycle needs...thank you

[@nazarreyaz7882]

Very happy to hear you acquiring the T7. May it be trouble-free and carry you safe wherever you go! Greetings from Sri Lanka!

[@RitzSamaritano]

Fantastic choice! Welcome to the T7 family, I got mine last April and I love it, I made almost 10k Km and it's perfect. I won't annoy you with accessories because you're absolutely more experienced than me, the only one I suggest you to consider is the center stand because It's so useful for cleaning and maintenance.

[@GorilaXL]

Congratulations Pavlin for your new acquisition!!! Hope this one makes so many kms as your old faithful girl!!! Congrats once again and ride safe

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thank you very much!

[@TheMotorman1981]

Hearty Congratulations on your new Tenere 700. Hope you enjoy a new relationship with the new Tenere...The old Tenere will always have a special position in our hearts

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks!

[@Boleh888]

Finally you've got the T7. Congratulations. The new friend comes with the new experience and the new discovery...

[@whitedrguy6503]

Good choice Pavlin. Two things I would recommend are, one, a chain guide, the one that sits in front of the rear sprocket, strange that it does not come with the bike, it is an option and has the mounting holes already in the swing arm. And number two, probably the best thing to fit is a good strong bash plate, the B+B I have protects a lot of the engine including the vulnerable water pump. And at a push maybe some R+G plastic engine covers, they weigh next to nothing but will protect the clutch cover as that does stick out a little and is a little vulnerable, not to mention the alternator cover. Damage to plastic body panels, the bike is still rideable but damage to engine covers can cause big drama. I have done around 14K on my Tenere but still prefer to ride my DR 650, only 500 Klm’s to go before it hits the 300,000 mark. Enjoy the ride mate, hopefully I can make it over to Europe next year and have you show me around Varna. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@jimperry4420]

Why do you prefer the DR?

[@whitedrguy6503]

@@jimperry4420 weight. Sadly the T7 is top heavy, great bike, does every thing I want it to but in circumstances when it needs a foot down like off camber hills it is hard to hold up, my DR is 30 KG lighter and not as top heavy. Even trying to push the T7 backwards sitting on the bike is difficult, the high seat height and wider seat make my short legs struggle. Plus I may add I have ridden a DR every day for the last 16 years and it fits me like a glove, my brain is programmed for a DR the T7 plays with my brain.

[@DrazenCika]

@@whitedrguy6503 a friend of mine switched from T7 to AJP PR7 for exactly the same reason, once he started to ride more off road, T7 proved to not to be as light as everyone claimed. Great bike though.

[@Remko1024]

You're gonna love your new headlights buddy, look at the difference hahahaha! So happy for you!

[@motorcycleadventures]

I already love it!

[@borilapostolov7474]

Congratulations! This was so expected. As I wrote in other comments for your videos it was about time. The old machine is not bad, but for you this is a bliss. Wish you many kilometers without tech problems. Sofia, Bulgaria is with you.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks, man!

[@glennmcguire5571]

So glad to see you now have a T7. I'm in the USA, North Carolina. I put a headlight guard, barkbusters, grab rails, and Oem crash bars. Worried about a tail tidy letting in too much water, mud, and debris. I'm going to enjoy watching you moving forward with the T700.

[@bhushantendulkar2484]

Congratulations. You got the new Tenere finally. Looking ahead eagerly to view many new adventures on the new bike.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks, Bhushan!

[@himydad1499]

A bit surprised that you bought it new. Like your pragmatic approach, as always. This will for sure attract some new subscribers :-) Good luck with it!

[@motorcycleadventures]

There is no second hand for sale. The few that I saw were even more expensive from the shop.

[@BlackThor15]

Congratulations Pavlin, well done and safe rides!! Can't wait for a proper review!! .👍👍

[@krastyomladenov1082]

Congratulations...Great choice Pavlin. I wish you many kilometers of good health and pleasant company in the most beautiful and picturesque places on every continent.

[@BladeAMD]

Cool, i am happy for you, i remember u talked about getting the newer tenere! Looking forward for more loong and smal adventures 😀 ..for myself i hope Honda make a lighter bike around 450/650cc !!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks! 👍

[@Geshmaal]

Congratulations on the new bike! One thing I found with the new Tenere is my foot catches on the clutch cover, I'd have to change that somehow if I got one. If the new KLR650 were available in Europe would you have considered that as your new bike?

[@ratbrain7743]

My brother just got one. He is disappointed with the power. It’s a pretty nice bike. It’s still a slug compared to a 700 tenere

[@silvanomediavillo1171]

Congratulations! A new bike. Thank you for giving us good ideas on motorcycling, specially I am a new motorcycle enthusiast. More power👍❤️

[@christianchris1434]

Congratulations and welcome to the black Yamaha Tenere 700 Club Pavlin. A wonderful motorcycle in every way. You will love it. I promise. Greetings from Sweden

Congrats Pavlin, you deserve it. Lets hope the new one can last as long as the old one. I also changed my old BMW GS 1200 ADV (2009) for a BMW GS 1200 ADV 2018 model. Enjoy and have fun

I hope so too!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks, Allen!

[@stoicwarrior346]

Hi Allen, I'm from South Africa and so few own this bike because of its price range against the bigger adventure bikes available here. It's hard to get local input regarding its performance and maintenance. Would you say it's reliable and has sufficient power for a pillion?

[@allenhuling598]

@@stoicwarrior346 Hi Lucio - Yes, I would say very reliable! I have only a small amount of experience with a pillion on this bike, but plenty of power! Cheers, and ride safe!

Finally! Congratulations Pavlin! 🍺👍 One modest modification that I think is worth it, is the "anti-bobble head" bracket for the headlight cluster and instrument panel. It is made by CamelADV in Canada. It will eliminate the shaking and vibration of both components, due to their weak factory mounting points. Cheers!
