Did you already check out the latest UNWRAPPED on the legendary Ducati Monser ? Don't miss out 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX23fKiMoq2Na8k 😉

[@kimvermaak6231]

This had so many actual laugh out loud moments - the extras that you put in for effect are hilarious.

[@UrgetoRide]

I'm thrilled, thank a mil Kim for the kind words, mean a lot 🤜🤛

[@W123FOoL]

Too true!!!

[@ronsmith9251]

Thanks for putting this together, I think people forget how important Yamaha Tenere is to motorcycle history. Equally how dominant they were in early Dakar and later the 90s Dakar racing.

[@user-zl5pz9qu8l]

this channel deserves to be more popular. Thank you

[@NomadSweden]

Fantastic! I learnt a lot and have a smile on my face. Thanks!

[@UrgetoRide]

Well if it isn't THE Nomad Sweden ! Thanks for the kind words, if that was the case then my job was done well ! 🤜🤛

[@brucebillb]

T7 is already my dream bike but man! that build up when Eric is battling to get a proper tribute to the legend Olivier to finally create the Tenere 700! Uhhh goosebumps!

[@RanjanSkyline]

Can’t believe that I never came across this channel, until now. Loved the writing, please keep it up :)

[@Banditmanuk]

Fantastic vid, I definitely learned something there. It's the bike I would take if heading off around the world. Presentation and editing is spot on. Keep up the good work.

[@UrgetoRide]

Thank you again for sticking with the channel ! So ? Money no object, the Tracer 700 you tried or a Tenere 700 ?

[@Banditmanuk]

@@UrgetoRide No problem sticking with your channel Al, genuinely think you will make a huge success of it, we are just playing at it. The honest answer about the two Yams is I love the look and the thought of owning the Tenere. If I was your age again that would be the bike for me. I would be planning dirt trails and thinking about taking 6 months out to ride around the world. (A friend has just done that on a Honda CB500X). As an overweight 56 year old now I would take the Tracer as I just think my future adventures remain on paved roads and that is the bike to have on tarmac.

[@SigmaSheepdog]

I totally expected a lengthy video dedicated to the T7 but received a delightful Tenere history lesson. Thank you!

[@rasoulea]

I think i just found my long lost twin brother, with the exact same sense of humor and passion. Amazing!! Subscribed🤙 Riding a 2012 tenere 660z Saving up for a upgrade on the old ten.

I just found your channel, and this is definitely the Donut Media of motorcycles. It's fun, entertaining, informative, and a blast to watch. Thanks!

[@lokshotdnb]

brilliant videos, glad the algorithm decided to play this. you know your good at something when i had no idea i wanted to learn the history of yamaha enduro bikes

[@alexandrehammoudi4298]

This man is funny!!! And the infos are gold. Thanks to my fellow friend and rider Andrew for pointing me in the direction of this channel!

[@wizbangdiving]

Just awesome. Don’t know how I haven’t come across the channel before. Funny informative encompassing relevant, entertaining. Well done.

[@Bung1963]

Mate, I'm loving you're work. It's the most entertaining motorcycle Channel out there. Keep it up!

[@nordostgarten]

Great video. I bought my T7 a week ago and I love it more every day. Thanks to your video I know a little more about its legacy now. Well done 👍

[@UrgetoRide]

Couldn't ask for more ! I hope you enjoy it even more now you know its roots 🤜🤛

[@2ShoesPhoto]

This was seriously a great video. I had a Yamaha 125 as a kid, still have the yellow side panel, and later on an XT500, and wish I had kept it. After having a BMW R9T 1200cc Scrambler, I'm buying a new Tenere 700 and getting back to my roots of riding both on and off-road.

[@simonchant761]

In 2020 I traded in my KTM 690 and bought a new tenere. Best thing I ever did, absolutely love it . Just finished a 3400km trip. Deserts, mountains. Humbed the whole way.

[@Ze_n29]

How have I only just found this channel!! Brilliant stuff.

[@matsmet]

great video, hoping to have a Tenere parked next to my XSR900 soon

[@UrgetoRide]

Same here ! Although money permitting I'd wait for the Travel one, I really do need the fuel range. I'm sick of the 130ish miles on the XSR900

[@theemperoramygdala]

[@UrgetoRide]

[@keithnisbet]

Incredibly well scripted and well produced documentary. Thanks very much. I'm getting the Tenere 700 :)

[@lobolj53]

I'm just glad I can pronounce Ténéré now! When I saw one for the first time at my local dealer the cowboy salesman was like " I don't know how to say it. I don't speak french."

[@flyingdutchman4you]

This seriously exceeded my expectations of the vid. Subbed!

[@UrgetoRide]

Damn I hope I'll still be able to satisfy you now I moved the expectation bar higher ... Oh well, welcome aboard anyway 👍 😂

[@alextarttelin6396]

I love this channel. Really deserves more subscribers and views.

[@ShedTorque46]

A great video well presented - I almost bought a 1994 XTZ660 Tenere and I still want one. (Stamps feet and sulks)

[@UrgetoRide]

If only stamping and sulking worked - I'd be a millionaire 😂

[@paulfenn5060]

I don't usually go for cute distractions, but damn, you do them and much else very well and all non-annoyingly. I howled several times and could guess at all the research, fiddly work, thought and editing sweat put in. Here's to you seizing your dreams with this, amigo. There's a market for it. Lots of dull and less deep offerings out there to beat out, and you have a presenter's charisma.

[@UrgetoRide]

Warmed my heart to read this. All too often people see a 20 minutes video and think it took 20 minutes to make... Glad to see the work shone through. Do stick around Paul - thank you !

[@valtersgotlaufs8292]

Great video, I hated history at school but love your approach. Keep the videos coming, subscribers will soon follow... plus 1 here.

[@weekendwarriorT7]

Absolutely one of the best Tenere vids I've ever seen. Doesn't hurt if it is hilarious as well... I love me some tenere!

[@DrazenCika]

Not only it was fun to watch, and I do like your style, but it is by far the most packed with background information about the Tenere, it's history and former and current development. I have owned the 89' XT600 (made for California market, so basically the European 43F model), added 22 l Acerbis to it, have had a blast for 10 years with it, sold it, got into motorcycle hibernation, then got myself two Teneres (1VJ and 3AJ), considered buying new Tenere 700 but recently went for used GS 1150 just for sake of two up touring (but I am working on my 3AJ to get it back to the roud though)...so yes, I know a bit about Teneres...and can confirm that you did not miss a bit in this great presentation. Subscribed, and I'll share this video massively even to people who do not own or even ride motorcycles :-)

[@UrgetoRide]

Thank you for sharing around !!! Appreciate the kind word matie 🤜🤛

[@brucecurtis6281]

Good style, I’ve got the 1994 660, love the look, And the back story. Fortnine will be watching you!

[@denniselenson560]

Great video, keep them comming

[@twopoke]

I have a tenere 660z, bit bulky bit under powered but you'll find me swimming in mud more regularly than youde expect. The big tank is a godsend! Waking up on the coast of Scotland with 200miles on the tank already give me no fuel anxiety at all. I would have bought the new 700 by now if it had a proper size tank! Keep up the good videos!

[@UrgetoRide]

New one coming out looks like its got a big tank ! Might be THE one to get..

[@ENDUROPASSIONE]

Such an awesome and interesting video for a 24yo Ténéré's owner like. Didn't know at all about the long story behind this name and motorbike, I just fell in love with the look and the simplicity approach 👌 Awesome video man, keep going 💪

[@UrgetoRide]

Hope you enjoy it even more now ! Thanks for the kind word - good to know there are more young riders out there

[@DirkStrange]

Dude, you're videos are absolutely great! I don't know why you don't have more subscribers, cuz you definitely deserve them. Keep it up!

[@flimbar]

These motorcycle history episodes are superb, fascinating, give this man a TV contract!

[@brucemonighan2925]

Brilliant. Amazing piece of work. I happened to know a lot of it because, well because I was there when Yamaha hit the US and had an AT-1 that I raced in scrambles (that dirt thing before motocross) I bought the Super Tenere in 2011, rode it for 40,000 miles including up to Prudhoe Bay and back to Californian. Bought the T7 a few months ago. Nobody has told the story better than you. Now a subscriber, looking for more

[@UrgetoRide]

Humbled to have people like you part of the community, thanks Bruce and welcome 🤜🤛

[@manishjha3990]

Not sure bro if it matters but I subscribed with notifications on. Though I am Ducati fanboy at heart, first was an Yamaha and definitely T7 is the only one that I would like to own and ride for the rest of the days (more like the best value for money). Awesome stuff my man!! Hope you make more contents. 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

[@UrgetoRide]

Well Manish ... you're gonna LOVE the next episode I'm currently working on 👀 Stick around buddy!

[@gordonborsboom7460]

It took four years 'cause they created a first version that was crap and had to start over (two years of failure and a year to redo and one to plan manufacture). Either that or didn't know what the final outcome should be. I have the red/white version and love it.

Man I love this video it get's into you! Thank you!

[@UrgetoRide]

Super glad you enjoyed it ! I'm glad the video managed to remind some of how awesome 80s/90s Dakar was, and to others make them discover it ! I could've skirted talking about the race but damn I would NOT be happy with myself ! Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you again 🤜🤛
