Tenere 700 Adventure test 2022

[@martinseel2837]

after burning down 3 sets of tires (12500km) and the rear brakes (at 6500km) in the last 6 months....i just can say, its the best bike i ever owned. Nice video.

[@donniebaker5984]

Oh no no no. Get yourself a Honda Africa twin as long as you stay on the asphalt it'll handle pretty good.. I had mine off-road one time and broke my foot and I was done ready to trade again.... On a gravel road it never stops seeking and gets scary

[@natandobossy]

Finally! Can't wait for the build. Great to see you back! GO ADAM!!!!

[@RWWRENTAL]

No better tester than Adam! Love the videos!

[@gonna_try_anyway7047]

I almost bought the 1290 SAR because of you, but ended up getting a T7 because I know the engine already and thought it would be a much better choice for doing singletrack and more knarly terrain. After having the suspension resprung and revalved, and some added accessories it's so good. 👌 cheers, glad your back in the adventure game.

[@zzxx33mh]

Yes, Finally it comes.. We were wondering.. Yes;let The Adventure begun..

[@desert-frog]

Anyone else see the kangaroo get clobbered by the fence? 👀

[@pouncer11]

I just wanted to say that I found your channel looking for off-road riding tips, and seeing you hog around the tenere in said videos has been a motivator in purchasing one. Yamaha ought pay you if they are not. Im hoping to grow into it for off-road, but its a real joy no matter what is under the tires. Favorite bike I have owned to date!

[@savardr6]

Glad you are back on the T7!! What a fantastic motorcycle!!

[@williamstones1773]

Really looking forward to this series! Keep up the great work Adam!

[@SirGiulio90]

Finally Adam is back on the big twin ! Can't wait to see the development of the T7 ! Missed so much your adventure content and videos... keep it up

[@leanit5756]

Got one coming. Had the 890 ADV-R, but being a KTM, it had engine problems. Too much compression damping in the fork too, even loosened up, causing pretty significant front tire deflections on sharp edges. Looking forward to the T7. Been riding since 1976, and no Japanese bike has ever let me down.

[@goseejackson]

Come across your channel while doing my daily ritual of searching and watching T7 videos. I was at a dealer last fall to buy an 890 Adventure R and they had a sold T7 in the showroom that stopped me in my tracks! Scrapped the 890 plan and have been waiting for a black T7 ever since. Love the KTM's but can't wait to build a sweet Tenere.

[@6Twisted]

2:30 Mistakes were made. Anyway I love the CP2 engine but the T700 is somehow 18kg heavier than the MT-07 (both without fuel), not something I'd want to pick up on a trail. I wish they'd stick the engine in a supermoto frame. Also as you mention the sump and oil filter sit very low on the CP2 and would be very easy to crack.

[@silverdale3207]

I guess it's heavier for a reason, That reason being strength, after all would you load your MT-07 with 30 kg of gear and go bashing down a rough 4wd track, a light frame would crack in no time.

[@6Twisted]

​@@silverdale3207 The WR450F weights 112kg without fuel, puts out 49hp and people use them for touring so I don't think it's because of strength.

[@silverdale3207]

@@6Twisted true, but that's a thumper, and a lot of videos show cracked rear sub frames on those Enduro bikes when loaded with gear off-road, I was just referring to your comparison with the MT 07,I think the frame etc would be beefed up on the T7. was thinking similar to the reason a 4wd is heavier than a sports car, different uses.

[@majormassenspektrometer]

No BS talk and no BS on the bike. Love it. Great video and channel.

[@Zosangkima]

Welcome Back. 🎉👍. When you said something about a Bike, It is so clear and easy to understand that it feels like we were there actually riding the bike and getting feedbacks from the bike.

[@jayhopkins1337]

Only have about 500 miles on mine but most dirt loving it so far. Especially got my knobbies now. It is very predictable, despite the weight it surprised me shooting up a short but steep hill with a 90 degree turn at top. It flew up so quickly with stock tires that I almost dumped it at top. It's a tractor!

[@thunderbear0]

Thats my dream bike and whenever i hear nice stuff about this bike it makes my heart happy thank you for this and i can't wait to get mine

[@damssalgado]

Adam est l'aboutissement du test des motos tout terrain. Merci pour cet excellent travail :)

As always not just a great video about a bike. The way the video is made, the sceneries, music and narrating make it so relaxing and inspiring to watch.

[@discooz4452]

As far as I can tell T7 only has one problem, getting your hands on one! Had a deposit down in August 2021. Was talking to the dealer when the World Raid got announced a couple of weeks ago, I would still have been waiting now. Buying a WR instead had nothing to do with this. Not bagging the bike or Yamaha, just highlights how good it is by the demand globally to get one.

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

The uk market is flooded with T7s second hand now. Even upgraded T7s can be had for less than 8k with low mileage.

I appreciate your opinions on the T7. I was 70% sure that was going to be my next bike going into this video, now it's up to 90%. Cheers!

[@FranciscoLeotteDoRego]

Glad you got the beast !! Can't wait to see the bike with all the new kit! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. (btw Tarres does come from another world !)

[@richardmilsom3350]

I recently bought a 2004 GS12 after my neighbour decided that it was his time for a mid life crisis… not my first, after owning a GS11, 990 adv, a duke 640 and a couple of DR 350/400’s in my dual sport range of purchases. And then i got on the internet…. Well, safe to say that the GS is for sale. Ridden only 12km in my ownership and a new T7 is due for collection. A dirt bike for the road is way better than a road bike for the dirt! You only live once. Make it

[@sirjolly81]

Always love a t7 build series. My mt09 is great fun but i miss the adventure aspect of my ktm 690. when the t7 comes down in price i will be getting one.

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

It's only going to go up in price new.

[@BP-id4cq]

KZbin algorithm dropped channel me your channel just in time. I’m picking up my T-7 next week. I’m definitely looking forward to see what mods your going to do(test) in the near future. I’m leaving the sports touring and getting into the ADV world. Thanks for sharing!

[@Kelahri]

You should publish a adventure bike tutorial, to be used with the videos, so that us oldies can slowly digest every move...and then go execute..always great to watch

[@LATAMbiker]

They're very hard to source here in the USA. I'm on several lists though. My problem though is that I'm 5'7" tall (short?) with a 30" inseam, and when I sat on one at a dealer, the balls of my feet could barely touch the ground. At first I said forget it. But now I'm thinking with the .8" lower seat, and 1.5" elevator pads in my boots, I might be able to make it work. I know that you can put longer dogbones in it to lower the bike further, but as the majority of my ADV riding is in Latin America where the speed bumps are 2 miles high, and the potholes are 2 miles deep, more than anything I need max ground clearance. Why the ADV manufacturers don't offer lower bikes with adjustable seats I'll never figure out. Make a bike with a seat adjustable between let's say between....32" and 35". We put men on the moon in 1969. Don't tell me Yamaha you can't figure this out.

[@sergiosoares264]

Adventure riding is not just about offroad, its about all kind of roads including highway sometimes. This is motocross with obstacles.

[@moritzkonschak7023]

The Tenere 700 is an big success for yamaha in europe and all over the world. This is an very good adventure bike to a small price , but you can get all what you need to have fun in the dirt and on the street too.

[@V8LC100]

[@lucasrountree2652]

Wrecked my tenere a few hours ago and it tore almost the right side of the rhino nose off and it cracked the triple tree and destroyed the side of the bike but it still started up fine right after, unstoppable.

[@Catch22iscrazy]

[@TheStandley99]

Mate, you are great at what you do. I know this bike sits in the same category as the 890, but can it be compared to a 690/701? I only ask because I haven't seen anyone like you give the new 690 a proper review.

[@nyedavis922]

I'd say not realistically. The 690 is 60kg lighter, better suspension and feels physically smaller to ride. On the slab the tenere will be much comfier, but off road there no competition really. I don't think they're a fair comparison

[@user-pe6lh3sx5f]

The 690 is a monster off-road, in a good way! It’s also quite comfortable on road. Maybe not at high speeds for long periods of time. But will handle any speed limit just fine. If you want a real adventure bike that will take you off road. The 690/701 is hard to beat. I’ve owned many and ridden lots! T7 is to be compared to other bikes in the 400 plus lb category. Great bike thoughI’m sure… just not really comparable to the 690/701.

Looking forward too this build, I just finished my 690 build and now is so good, love your content

Hi Adam, I know you love the T7 but have you ridden an Aprilia Tuareg 660? I am torn between the T7 World Raid and the Tuareg and wondered what your thoughts would be on the comparison?

[@MotologyFilms]

Haven't ridden a Taureg yet. Probably performs well but I guess we won't know what kind of a flogging they can handle for at least another year after real world riders have been doing big kilometres with them off-road.

[@robhatch4053]

@@MotologyFilms Thanks Adam. On paper the Tuareg has more than the T7 World Raid to offer including the extra ride modes and lower centre of gravity, although they both run KYB suspension the Tuareg has more travel. They both have proven engines and brakes so I guess it will be down to the chassis and electronics..............

[@infinityphotorob]

I just thing the t7 is sexy AF. I love everything about it except the tiny fuel capacity. I live in the western USA and regularly will hit 300miles between gas stops. I am still rockin a 640 Adventure. That bike somehow still holds its own. It just needs more power.
