Been riding for about 23 years, owned 40+ bikes, ridden probably around 500-1000 bikes, was a professional test-driver and development engineer for the car/motorcycle industrie, and was a motocrosser growing up. And i own a World Raid. Probably the best bike ive ever ridden. Def the best bike ive ever owned. And that coming from a Honda fan. I love this bike so much that i could buy a second one, just like that, for no better reason than just having two of them.

List 5 things why it's the best?
@Driftuner6 ай бұрын
@@dIsAstErTR for starters, ive always wished Honda would make a "new version" of the old 750 Africa Twin from the 90s, because to me that is easily one of the best bikes ever made. I was hoping the new Transalp would be that bike, but unfortunately it is far from it. Enters the WR. In summary, one could say the WR is a "new age" Africa Twin 750: both have about 230mm fully adjustable suspensions, both weight around 220kg, both have 23L in the tank, both make about 70ish HP, both twin cylinders, both around 700ish cc, very similar geometry, known for their reliability, etc, etc, etc. Its almost like Yamaha set themselves to re-build the old 750AT with the WR. The only thing the T7 adds to the mix, are the modern things one wishes to have: USD fork, steering damper, ABS and fuel injection. And thats it. Nothing more. It still rocks a cable throttle and cable clutch and everything is purely mechanical on this bike. No riding modes, no ride-by-wire, no auto blipper, no TC, no stability programm, no lean-angle-IMUs, no fancy adjustable cornering-headlights, no bs. Add the fact that the CP2 engine is one of the smoothest, most linear and usable engines ever made, the suspension geometrie and setup works on and offroad at the same level as the very best bikes out there, it is a lot more comfortable than it looks, the wind/weather protection from the screen but also to the lower body is excellent due to the wide tanks, even though it is heavier on paper than the regular T7, it "feels" lighter since the tanks are mounted about 20cm (!) lower into the chassis, the gearbox ratios are absolutely perfect, i easily manage to squeeze 600+ km out of one fill up, this bike is very economical, it is easy to service, easy to maintain, uses no special tools anywhere, spare parts and aftermarket parts are widely available, no electronics to go wrong, sounds great and looks killer. Only real negative is the price and taking a passenger also isnt the best. It is not a cheap bike nor is it very comfortable for 2-up operation. But, i could go on about this bike for hours...i absolutely adore it. If i could i would buy a second one

I traded my R1200GSA for a T7 World Raid last year. Compared it to the Austrians, Italians, Brits and Swedes. Main things that swayed me over were the fuel range (because of the very low consumption plus large tank), reliability and looks. I was torn at first with the Norden 901 Expedition, but after making a test ride it just felt tiny for my 1.90 m / 6'3" length. I had to sit partly on the rear seat to be comfy. Also liked the Tiger 900 RP and all its features, but the price was just too much (5000 euros more) and I had a sense it was too much street orientated. The Tuareg was and still is a lot less popular, so besides my trauma with Italian reliability in the past, there is not a lof of aftermarket stuff to find for it in contrast to the tons of stuff available for the T7. I've customised it to my likings to get it to look more mean, be lighter and have more features. Like an aftermarket quickshifter, Kaoko throttle lock, chain oiler etc. Loving it so far.

Snapped it off them and it has been brilliant. Modded it myself with AS crash bars, rear rack along with barkbusters, GB Racing engine protection, AXP sump gaurd and AX41 tyres and shes amazing off road. I have a friend who brought the world raid and it just looks to big and wide to be comforatable throwing it around off road. The standard 700 in my opinion is the one to have and spend the spare money on making it your own.
