New 2024 Yamaha Tenere 700 Explore Unveiled! EICMA 2023

[@KevGoesRiding]

I wish they put the world raid fuel tank on this bike, feels like a missed opportunity here. The rest of it is lovely though

[@MOUNTKENNEDY]

Just do as I did and fit a acerbis tank

[@podunkman2709]

Yes, would be great to have 500liters tank. We all dream about that.

[@martinfretwell]

No good having a great big tank if you ride with a friend who has a standard one.

[@morkys2410]

Wow, nice work. You are on fire with these EICMA videos! Lot's of great insight into many of the new bikes for 2024. Don't drink too much coffee and I hope you are getting some rest between videos...lol : P

[@ogasi1798]

best colour out of them all is this , gorgeous

[@bmayo46704]

On the touring version of the Tenere 700, I would've liked to have seen cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity for Andriod /Apple iOS navagation maps

[@damien9975]

For a more road focused Tenere , tubeless rims would have been nice.

[@manuelalbertodelacruzsarti5501]

Great work at EICMA MOTOBOB. Thanks for keeping inform

[@leclerq6230]

When I got my Tech Kamo T7, I already said 'a shame they don't come with gold rims'. One year later: The Explore version

[@bigjoe4020]

20l tank and CC are 2 things very high up my list for a touring bike.

[@MrTmax74]

Same. These companies keep missing the mark

[@Big_DT]

Great work, Rob!

[@MaxTorque-MT]

i don't why yamaha won't put cruise control on this bike. it is must have for long distance touring specially if you had a bike with cruise control once you won't go without it.

[@paulred158]

Great coverage Bob.

[@motobob]

Thanks Paul - appreciate it!

[@kevskibiz]

Love these bikes may be a bit tall for my daily commute… brilliant vids bob 👊

[@richardskiles5678]

Is the explorer going to be available in the USA ?

[@Jevta624]

Why don't they update the Super Tenere already?

[@Jungleland33]

Oh Gawd, tubeless, cruise control and a larger tank. I mean how hard can it be?

[@jsmith7013]

Agree. Even with the base T7. Your building a bike from scratch and they missed a lot of common sense things.

[@martinfretwell]

Tubeless tyres are needed. Bolt on exhaust hanger would be good

[@yamrz500]

Sadly only Europe gets the Nice stuff we in the USA get left overs! I'll keep my 21 T700!

[@SergeyVikultsev]

Yeah, more options in Europe, why don’t they offer those in the US?

[@tubelesschannel]

I love it already 😊

[@disekjoumoer]

I sort of think Yamaha put this out as a response to the Honda Transalp. I think they should have gone for a slightly bigger tank on a touring bike, though. 16L is small by today's standards.

[@Enduro_BALLISTIC]

The standard T7 has also upgraded suspensions?

[@_hold_the_line_]

Yamaha should have started with the WR model to create the explorer. You cannot explore with a 16 L tank and the aftermarket tanks for the T700 are not well designed because it increases the top heavy nature of the bike. Then there's tubeless wheels missing and only one way quickshift, also no cruise control. Had high hopes for this one but BMW and Honda are better at adventure touring.

[@podunkman2709]

You like many others do not get that 20l or more liters means lot of weight? And for what you need this fuel? Where on the Earth you travel 300km without possibility to refuel? Tell me where's that place?

[@thecornishbiker9323]

Id buy the explore because it doesnt have that huge legs spraying tank.but does have all the other good stuff of the wr.

[@Chase_N]

"Now, more touring focused!" *Doesn't add cruise control* Yamabros, you know it's the one thing holding people back right?

[@Chase_N]

@@jonathanr72 I know, I just figured they'd have it worked out by now. Honestly. the middleweight ADV class in general is lacking cruise control except for Aprilia's Tuareg, but most pass on it because of the 12K mile valve adjustment intervals. Honda really missed the boat with the Transalp too. Oh well, until someone comes up with a middleweight (700-800) ADV with extended valve adjustment intervals (or none at all like on my Pan America) and cruise control I'll just stick with my Pan AM.

[@Chase_N]

@@jonathanr72 Yeah, big fail. I was sure it'd have CC, but nope. All of these companies would crawl over a thousand miles of broken glass before sacrificing a single sale of their huge ADV bikes when people are absolutely begging them for something smaller & lighter with CC.

[@cybermarine01]

Euro 11799 to pound which is 10300 for explorer edition t7

[@UncleWally3]

I wrong to say EICMA ‘24 suggests we’re entering the year of the tweaks?

[@larsgeorgolsen4122]

It is pricey for what you get. I would look at the new Honda Africa Twin... such a comfortable bike for touring.

[@Geshmaal]

Or the Transalp and get a bike that's lighter than and nearly as powerful as the Africa Twin for less than the Tenere.

[@blackskunk54]

@@Geshmaal...and a much better dash!

[@Geshmaal]

@@blackskunk54 tbf I would rather the Transalp were cheaper and used a Casio calculator style dash like the T7.

[@dreamcrusher112]

@@Geshmaal You and nobody else. People love the TFT screens.

[@AndoniTejerina]

A shame not seeing a tenere 900

[@petewatson9866]

As you said you get the KTM 890, but I would pay a bit more for the BMW F900GSA with the ride pro pack

[@jz2188]

They work out both configurators , the BMW with the ride pro pack and no luggage £14,500 plus luggage is £1048 = £15,548 or the T7 Explore £10,800 plus luggage is £916 = £11,716. So an extra £3,832 for the BMW. Admittedly it has all that electronics BS that can go wrong and leave you stranded that the T7 Explore is missing. As I just got rid of a GS, am looking at this as a bargain buy that is far more capable off road and has good heritage in Dakar

[@podunkman2709]

- Tub tires - No quickshifter (to shift up u do not need any "quickshifter") - Plank instead of seat - No TC

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

Is Yamaha ever going to sell the Tenere 700 in America? My dealer can't get one, I can't money down on one and I haven't even seen one since the 2020 IMS show.

[@inkjnk]

They sell them here in Colorado at all the motorcycle dealerships

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

@@inkjnk My local dealers can't get one and won't take a deposit on one. I've been asking them about the bike for 3 years now. Only one came in and the owner of the dealership bought it for himself. I hear he likes it.

[@barkindustry8150]

GAH!!! I love the bike and I want it but FFS... how hard is it to toss in a cruise control feature? lol

[@Whatever-2u]

When will we get coverage of Ducati stand? I heard that they have a lot of new models debuting on EICMA.

[@davidmallia628]

Yes, interested in the Ducati single cylinder supermoto 698. Seems a real fun bike, exotic with style, and presence. Also the Multistrada V2S.

[@dreamcrusher112]

12k for a tenere. If you want a touring bike and load it up 70hp will feel very sluggish. What does this have over a transalp?

[@bcab7955]

Why dilute the offroad capabilities of the T7. If you want the CP2 but can't handle its dirt bias design, get a Tracer.

[@mnap89]

Becasue not everybody is tall enough to ride stargard t7 comfortably and probably most t7 live on the tramac anyways - lower bike will handle road slightly better.

[@bcab7955]

@@mnap89 Buy a road bias motorcycle, Scorpions on the street ride like garbage.

[@mnap89]

@@bcab7955 I understand thins. But some people maybe want it for very light adventure and dirt roads.

[@crg9864]

Can you checkout the ultraviolette booth too please they just unveiled India's first superbike

[@jcmusngi2484]

Z500 next sir

[@BN1960]

Yet again no cruise control - why?!! Yeah yeah, I know not everyone wants it, fine, don't use it but there are folks like me that pass on bikes without it A real missed opportunity for the sake of a hundred quid or so

[@mnap89]

Simple. In order for bike to have cruise control and or TC - it need to have ride by wire throttle. Since Yamaha is trying me make most of what is already developed, they dont change it becasue it would probably rise the cost of bike a lot more.

[@Baddadam]

It has not ride by wire. If they change that it will get much more expensive or they just make less of every bike.

[@verbalwidget0919]

Touring T7 needs more fuel, tubeless wheels, and a cruise control to keep the soy boys quiet.

[@thebrowns5337]

bit pricey

[@davidmallia628]

No tubeless! No, adjustable, low seat included in price, but as extra. Yamaha banking on the good reputation of a solid bike, not wanting to make the effort to cater for everyone interested in this bike. Disapointing as usual.

[@emmettturner9452]

…and still not even a peep about the new Ninjette that replaces the Ninja 400. What gives?! Day 3 and no one is talking about it. If they didn’t rename it Ninja 500 EVERYONE would be talking about the Ninja 400 refresh.

[@Alexanderpaal67]

Tall & Top heavy

[@bullgrim]

2024 looks really low on Horse Power in lots of brands.

[@nkwd007]

Yamaha is getting a little bit boring now. How many more options of Tenere 700? Maybe time for Tenere 900 ??

[@AndreiLucaa]

CFMoto 450MT!!!! Pleaseeeee

[@radu01]

I would love to see a Tracer 1000❤

[@Srkaljka]

With MT10 engine 🥹

[@dcasteaux9181]

Razor blade seat on an ‘adventure tourer’? Really?

[@extraordinarywolf320]

No color TFT display then hard pass!!! How is that possible in 2023????

Good allround travel bike that shouldn't raise too many eyebrowse

[@philipmillen4271]

No world raid for 2024, and only upshifter fitted on this £11k, ouch

[@iamchandansahoo]

ultraviolate f-99 video please

[@jamesdumas6602]

Still NO Cruise Control. stupid!

[@eldiablomatadore8580]

Hard pass. Unless u live in country with at best gravel roads. Or middle of desert

[@lestersmyth692]

Just buy a KTM 790 Adv comes with all the toys and 25 additional HP, just picked mine up for £8500 new…..happy days 😀 and I can get my feet on the ground.

[@kalaharimine]

Shame - still way too tall, un-competitive on price - for the long legged only and un-surprisingly top heavy as a result.

[@sandwaves5642]

Well BOB - here you put, probably, many of us, in a slightly inadequate position : on one hand we like you videos - some of them are pretty good .... On the other - THIS bike is SOOOO outdated, sooooo worn OUT, that only reactions, from seeng it exibited as NEW, should be - 😨😨🥵🥵🤮🤮🤣🤣❗❗I have no idea how some, can STILL consider it .... And we do understand that you, maybe, live from these videos, and you can't throw 💩💩on whoever, whenever... you must be nice, but - this bike is DONE 4 it and not worth mentioning 🤷🏻‍♂🤷🏻‍♂STILL - NO TC, NO CC, NO RBY, NOT EVEN SLIPPER CLUTCH ( on the ordinary vers ) !!!

[@rowanenglish2952]

I think you have missed the whole point of the Tenere. It is popular in part because it doesn't have all the extra guff. It is also reliable and very good off road and excellent as a travel bike. However, I agree that the pricing is getting a bit steep and putting it in the same category as the bikes with all the electronic aids.

[@MagnumMuscle1000]

I can't understand why a modern 700cc engine only makes 70 hp. It should be no trouble for it to make 85 wheel HP.
