New 2025 Yamaha Tenere 700 Update Spied: Everything You Need To Know!

[@motobob]

UPDATE: Just took delivery of an XSR900 GP press bike for the next 2 weeks and immediately recognised the right hand switchgear from this video. So it looks like they've borrowed it for this test bike, and it does indeed house the sensor for a RBW throttle. As such, I'd be very very very surprised if the next version of the T7 doesn't ship with more up-to-date electronics.

[@pw3591]

If it ain't broken don't try and fix it. If they change the looks they'll probably spoil it. If they try for more power, they'll lose the low down torque, and it doesn't need any more tech, it's simplicity is a selling point.

If it gets cruise control ill buy one😊

[@l1qu1dm3t4lIV]

That's the exact reason I want one. It'll be perfect for my DRZ's big brother.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

It always amuses me when “influencers” say the T7 is “lagging behind the competition” with a “lack” of technology. That’s what makes the T7 superior to the competition. I’m selling my 890 Adventure because my recent acquisition of a 24’ T7 is more of what a purist is after. I hope the 24’ T7’s TFT dash doesn’t get moisture on the inside like the KTMs, or the cam issues that many owners are going through… luckily mine checked OK at the 11k service. I’m just glad the T7 is finally readily available here in the states. Yamaha, don’t change too much. The rocker switch, you can if you want, I don’t mind it. The exhaust needs reworked so it won’t hit the swingarm after crashes, and upgraded suspension would be nice. Maybe more fuel capacity… maybe, not a huge thing. Otherwise, keep the price low and we can mod it ourselves.

[@Blockbuster2033]

Absolutely agree! Same with the tubeless wheels. We hardcore offroaders want tubes in our wheels.

[@GCTO239]

Totally agree with both comments.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

It's the false equivalence of "more technology" being "leading." Perhaps more customers would think along the lines of "this vs. that, this has more than that" and buy the thing that has more whizzbags. But these days, I just don't look at technology the same way in all aspects of life. I often look at technology as invasive, privacy-destroying, the tools of corporations to gain control of my life, dignity-destroying, laziness-inducing, and brain-restructuring. Why must everything trend toward less use of one's mind and more convenience? Who or what gains control of our lives in this trend? There's a certain amount of things that individuals need to be in control of and that's just life, that's the way biology/economy/energy/life is; either you are responsible or that responsibility is consented to someone else. Simplicity is often better. I would like motorcycle companies to figure out more simplistic ways of making the riding experience better, which does not mean STUFF THAT DAZZLES THE EYES. I'm talking about brakes and suspension function, and engine flexibility. I don't mean more power, but I mean broader power and more efficient power and more flexible power.

I would love tubeless wheels and and an adjustable windscreen. Cruise control would be great too but really, I love the simplicity of the bike. I just hate changing tubes on the side of the road and I like being able to put the windscreen lower when off-road.

[@mrtopcat2]

@@mountainridersvk Thank you. Good points. Overall weight might be OK, but top heavy to me is inexcusable. IMHO it comes from lack of passion for dedicated off-road engines, which these days seem to be the same story with most manufacturers; To save cost, they build one fits all purpose engines, which then turn out to be tall and top heavy. And people are OK with it? 🙈 In some ways I fault the end of large displacement Paris-Dakar bikes and the corresponding lack of competition in that class. I have an older XRV750. It's 62 horsepower is more than plenty with most notably a very low center gravity. Which makes it super easy to handle, even far easier than my 600 single cylinder.

[@dashuntas.m4045]

The DR650 is the main reason I haven’t gotten a mid-capacity adv; it’s my go-to allrounder and does everything (off-road, trails, touring etc) quite alright while being much lighter so I just got a dedicated road bike (R9T) to complement it. The T7 is just a higher tier DR imo, how do you make owning both work?

[@bensnipes7288]

They're going after Suzuki and Honda. They will increase the displacement to a 750cc, add RBW for ride modes and traction controls, the world raid fuel tank. It will reach 80 or so HP. Hopefully they put better suspension or at least spring rate... And it'll sell for an extra $1,000

[@kenp4464]

Not sure they need to go after Suz/Hon as the Tenere is already winning. They can keep the same CCs without changing the engine. Change some air and mapping and likely tap 80hp.

[@IRLtrolls]

Realistically all the T7 needs is tubeless wheels and it will be pretty much perfect. Cruise control would be nice but that means TBW. Most can live without cruse control or just get a throttle lock for $100. The tubeless wheels is something that’s very important to most riders

[@_AVAM]

An adjustable seat would be great for shorter riders. For me it is low enough, but for my friends the bike is just too tall. The Africa Twin has an adjustable seat. The seat is way thinner than the Tenere and 2 cm lower and the bike has better ground clearance. The Tenere is too top heavy, a lower tank like the KTMs would be good also.

Tbh with you, I honestly believe what we are looking at here is the facelift World Raid, not the standard T7. I’ll qualify what I’m saying based on the width of the lower faring, the shot that shows two openings on the rubber camo cover for 2 fuel caps. It has a new rear linkage probably to lower the seat height (the current T7WR is high).

I’m 20k into mine and without doubt it’s the best bike I’ve owned . 50/50 mix of TET trail riding and road tours . Personally I would like just a little bit more power on the newer bike even though the engine is the showpiece . I’m old school and love the simplicity of the T7 but you can’t argue that on long transition days across France for example cruise control would be lovely. Also for me just upping to 18 litre tank would be enough so you can comfortably get to 200 miles range.

[@CombatMagnum]

As a 80/ 20 off / on road rider - 72 HP is plenty. Decat and remap opens the T7 up and is plenty fast on road, and pushes the limits off. As a solo rider at times, and having dented plenty of rims, I'd prefer to keep my old school tubes any day. Any more power and she'll need power modes and will muddy up throttle control, my top priority when really hucking it over sketchy terrain, IMO what this bike was designed for.

[@nemerkha]

Ride by wire, CC/TC - not so much ride modes. Tubeless wheels (option). CC and Tubeless is literally the only gripe a lot of owners have, and introducing these 2 will exponentially increase sales. Although i have become proficient in tube maintenance, it is nice to have the option of having tubeless wheels for road adv touring, even mile off road.

[@humzilla707]

Fix the exhaust can issue and give it a bolt on subframe

[@ripmax333]

Yes, bolt on rear subframes should be mandatory on all adventure and dual sport bikes.

[@LowQualityPigeon]

Tbh I think HP numbers are fine and that's what makes this bike so special. It's not over the top crazy in power figures and that makes it way more usable off-road. There's a video by Motology films demonstrating how more horsepower is not always equal to better performance.

[@Adventure_blac]

I agree. Ride by wire would be a great addition I’d think. Add cruise control, 2 or 3 ride modes, and tubeless wheels

@@Adventure_blac yeah true. Cruise control would be a really great addition to the bike.

[@DashRendar308]

The only thing that would really improve the T7 in my opinion is lowering the center of gravity and/or making it lighter. Oh, and give it a less in your face, horizontal display. When I ride I want to see the road and not some stupid screen. Keep the wire throttle. It is actually a sellig point to me, when all manufacturers use computerised throttles nowadays.

[@Angry-Lynx]

U know they do that only to maximise their management profits right? But y'all keep manipulating this facts like it's some kind of advantage to make bike reliable 😂

[@78Outlaw]

I hope they don’t spoil the bike by chasing power and adding weight via displacement, the CP2 is one of the great wee hooligan back road motors

[@ГригорийЛапшин-н1ц]

I bet that new linkage is for lower ride height. It is a pain point, all competitors are lower. In the current T700 upper shock mount is right under rider's crotch. So the seat can't be lowered. With the new linkage, the lower mount of the shock significantly lower than before, so the upper point could be moved lower too. So lower height with the same clearance, travel and shock. Exactly what T700 not so advanced riders need.

[@gregducati999]

the problem isnt the HP the problem is the weight, the T7 isnt significantly lighter then the KTM 890r but has much less hp so either Yamaha needs to increase the power or lower the weight to make it competitive

[@emilenossin5098]

I found the KTM/ Norden to be noticeably smaller, which I didn't like at 190 cm. More power comes from a higher compression ratio which also means lower reliability, worse consumption and a lot more engine heat. I'm not sure I would prefer that.

Braided brake lines. I felt like with the old bike it needed a few mods to make it good. Put better grab handles on the back and a little rack. Most other bikes come with that.

@GM_YYC tuareg rips offroad and feels very light, seat is lower than tenere as well, but I didn't consider the tenere anyways because of how top heavy they are with no cruise and no tubeless wheels, tuareg is better in all aspects. Also the Tenere is harder to lift than an africa twin because of how tall and topheavy it is, so the way I see it, why wouldn't I just get an africa twin at that point because I'm not even benefiting from the teneres curb weight on paper if it feels that heavy in reality.

Most dependable of all competitors. I feel like I won Dakar every time I ride mine. It isn't broken. A little styling new linkage rad may be bigger not much

[@Angry-Lynx]

Guess what. Bike doesn't have to be obsolete POS to be reliable.Africa twin as best example. You can like simplicity but it's not advantage, it's very cheeky cost cutting.

[@khakimzhanmiras]

hopefully some form of variable valve timing, bored it out a bit, slightly bumped compression

[@MotoSwagger]

Yeah I dont think I'll be updating to the new model when it comes out... unless they drop a few kilos, improve the standard suspension and keep the price competitive then my 2020 model stays - thanks for the unpacking vid tho 🙂

[@whylie74]

A big part of the appeal of the tenere is the simplicity of it. Drenching it in tech would ruin it and it would just disapear into the crowd of other bikes that have been left to long in the electronics department.

[@ripmax333]

A removable rear Subframe and an Option of a lower seat height ( frome the suspension ) are the things that I would like to see. Yes yes I know..what's the purpose of lower suspension travel on an adventure bike! Bear in mind that not everybody rides like the riders shown in the videos, for the average Joe a 1 inch less travel won't be such the end of the world, Just my Opinion.

[@johnpanick6080]

Will it be available in the US ? I like and want a World Raid which is not available here. Hopefully this one will be similar. I agree that tubeless wheelsnwould make everyone happier. The Turareg has them so come on Yamaha!

[@mikescott9213]

I want an updated 1200

[@guzziman]

Tubeless rims would be my request....

[@TheExodusV]

Cruise and tubeless would be most excellent 🎸

[@Angry-Lynx]

The only issue with t7 is that it came about 20years too late.... Yamaha in their cost cutting and greed craze forgot Its not 2001 anymore :)

[@nairamize4996]

To me this looks just like a World raid. They probably update the headlight (like with the dash), new styling for the fairings. Could be 2025 model. Doubt that this is the new Tenere with different technique „under the hood“.

[@indy5797]

Please keep it dead fugging simple and shade tree mech friendly. Simpler is better....been buying and riding since the early 80s, short of fuel injection, new tech generally screws up bikes adds weight, complexity, and dealer dependence while reducing reliability.

[@shawnlim5292]

Hopefully Yamaha changes the cp2 engine to cp3

[@Captndarty]

Ehh Yamaha and the T7. We in the United States have so much more usable off-road terrain than Europe and we only get the one bland T7 model.

[@kenp4464]

In Canada, I spent 58 days the last 2 summers travelling offroad in a Side by Side. And I never left Newfoundland.😅 A long range tubeless tenere and I'll own one.

[@cr4zyw3ld3r]

I hope its not more tech unless they are finally giving it cruise control! it needs to lose weight and keep it lower. Lets see a TI crank and Conrods instead and the option of an ALU rear subframe.

[@kkattrap]

Nah, they're not going to announce any changes to the CP2 with the Tenere 700. Just let Yamaha get the Tenere 900 to market...

[@silverdale3207]

Yep, put all the gizmos the sealed road guys want in that one and leave the T7 basic for us real ADV riders😁

[@davidangus7559]

Oh and better suspension compliance on small bumps. No more electronics

[@Angry-Lynx]

Nope. Ull get the cheapest possible suspension for next 20years. God forbid Yamaha put on adv bike anything else than the worst cheapest forks possible

[@SylvainSlyTherriault]

Turn it into a KTM 790 with Yamaha reliability and durability… buying it tomorrow…

[@interwebslinger]

The last thing they need to do is increase engine power. That would likely reduce the longevity of the engine, one of its biggest strengths.

[@michaeldomec5275]

Needs the exhaust set higher

[@AdamNicholasSievers]

If yamaha added a more comfortable seat, and added cruise control I think it would draw a lot of sales from people that would live with less horsepower.

[@Milen4u]

The throttle by wire for the CP2 will be the biggest news in my opinion. They were starting to lag behind, even Suzuki overtook them with the 8S / 8R and V-Strom.

[@Angry-Lynx]

It has mechanical throttle? Holy fucking shit it's worse than even I thought 😂😂 they really are living in 90'

[@Milen4u]

@@Angry-Lynx It's not the throttle itself, but what it allows: By-directional quick shifter Cruise control Advanced traction control Smaller throttle bodies

[@Angry-Lynx]

@@Milen4u i know what ride by wire is mate. im just saying how ridiculous is to not have it in 2024 in such expensive bike !;

[@johngilbert7357]

Needed a upgrade!

[@Angry-Lynx]

Goldwing had cruise control in 84. Just saying 😂

[@Captain-Donut]

What would be amazing is a 2 stroke version ……❤️

[@tomg6284]

I have cruse control on my ktm390. Yamaha needs to get off their bottom.

[@Angry-Lynx]

Why would they If they make billions with minimal effort and rnd. Just keep making generic, run of the mill bland bikes like honda and keep counting money. Pretty much the whole economy of 2024. Corporations getting greedier and richer, and more bold, less effort and quality, more cost cutting, while people getting poorer and more screwed over

[@bimazivanovic4784]

Personally i wouldn't change anything to the current version. As someone already said,if it ain't broken don't fix it.

[@ToitMosquito]

Why do some companies like Kawasaki and Suzuki just make a bike in the 80's and never change it, but some companies have to try to change their bikes every 5 years to "stay competitive"?

[@Chase_N]

It has plenty of HP & Tq already. If it ends up having cruise control... I'm in.

[@Angry-Lynx]

Cruise control? 😂 They still live in 80'. They probably very proud they have abs and injection in 2024 😂

[@ToriADVMoto]

So many great iterations around the world. But we get the standard model? If the world raid was in the US I would own one. And yes it needs cruise control. I can see the CP2 getting some engine updates like up to 80 BHP

[@Angry-Lynx]

Everything BUT the logic. That's the yamaha way 😂👍🏿
