Tenere 700 - Nick Sanders Paris Dakar - Full Movie

Nick Sanders follows in the footsteps of the original Paris to Dakar Rallye on his Yamaha Tenere 700 and discovers the origins of the Tenere name. Beautifully filmed, a cracking motorcycle adventure story that provides a unique insight into the history of the iconic Yamaha Tenere.

[@DiegoAstorga]

Ahhh... Nick's passion for motorcycling and travelling is an inspiration!

[@nicksanders7110]

Diego, thank you sir, just trying to pass on the enthusiasm - take care:) Nick

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Enjoyed watching the heritage and history that Yamaha is associated with and, in part, created. The Ténéré is an amazing adventure bike. Thank you! Ride safe.

[@ToonArmy01]

Fascinating, a deep look through the camera lens and into mans soul and passion for peaceful adventure in a troubled world. It's a Wonderful Life, just get on your bike and explore what is waiting for you.

Wow, powerful, the segment with the photographer taking the image of the little boy actually brought tears to my eyes, just thinking that the child has probably never seen himself prior to that picture....amazing that there are still places in this world like that, there is still that innocence and wonder to be found and that something as simple as a picture can be that special...

Over the last few weeks this has pretty much become one of, if not my favorite KZbin channel. Loving the content; all of it. From the crazy adv rides like DRZ’s swimming up north, to Nick, to the fantastic and detailed Tenere 700 discussion. Just brilliant. Thanks Dave, Nick, Clubby, professor, danny Jackman, yager, and everyone else I haven’t named yet...!

If you like the XTZ though, I do believe the new 700 will be a great machine!

Well, I tested this bike with my wife today and I must say I was very surprised how easy it was to drive two up, I went on uphills, stoped then start again and never felt the engine was suffering. It won’t be a missile in term of torque but it has plenty for everyday use. If I decide to buy it, I will change some things like putting tubeless rims and firmer springs. What is great as well is the minimum of electronics. Yamaha may has started a trend...

[@reneweisz9157]

Really great video as always, but it is hard to start a new adventure with the Tenere 700 if you cant find em in a store in the USA East Coast. You talk to Canadiens and they have no problem getting a T7. In the US there is zero inventory between Philly, Baltimore, Washington DC, Richmond. Than you have a dealer in Tampa FL with 4 in the shop. What is the distribution deal with the USA? Is it tarifs or any other trade restrictions? Just being curious,

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Still shortages in Australia as well, but should be overcome in late July August.

[@malikknows3510]

Lovely, exciting video! Thanks! I'd buy a Tenere 700 if it had cruise control. Too many very long stretches of highway here in NA.

Nah. To many bikes with too much tech nowadays. Need more like the tenere that are low tech, simple and reliable True adventure bikes.

[@thefishthefish]

Throttle lock $20 - 'Problem' Solved

[@DrazenCika]

@@AGardenShed So true, and all this tech is just more layers for something to go wrong, while giving you 'benefits' of having less to do and think. I mean, my old KTM 640 Adventure would be simply enough, if I was first owner so that I could trust it fully. And it even has the kick starter working with flat battery in addition to the electric starter, and 28 l tank. Only BMW air hads and Tenere 600 1VJ did that trick too. I miss that concept, but T700 is the closest currently available, so be it. It is smallish tank, but there already solutions for that. Now if I only could make my choice about color ;-)

[@simulacrae]

I think it would sell better if the price was more competitive. A fully kitted t7 here will cost pretty close to a KTM 890, and that bike has traction control and cruise control.

Nick, you are tonic and a top man. I have a Tenere Xt660z, love her to bits. My GSA1200 Adventure was pinched, got the ten same year (2010) ... I got over the shock and although my arse suffers more on 8-10 hour ride than the BMW, I look after her myself and understand the bike, no fancy stuff. Totally get it ... perfect for proper trips, not to the shops I mean! One question, I am tempted to but the 700, I'm 67 and have the dosh but I'm paranoid it will get nicked (East London) ... is it worth the worry? I am torn whether to keep the old girl or sell her for a young lass... what do you guys think? BTW not boasting but 11,000 mile trips many times 50 years without a break on many a motorcycle. You are the don, I know and so many other too but I want to give a better idea of who is typing this.

19:27 from there they went to Samara in occupied Western Sahara. Something that I felt the race never properly acknowledged. That is they needed Moroccan cooperation to race through Morocco's illegal occupation of its neighbour. Morality went out the window in order to secure access. 27:05 given Morocco and Mauritania don't have a common border that's clever. That is the border between *Western Sahara* and Mauritania. 32:53 Western Sahara doesn't get a mention.
