Will the Yamaha Ténéré 700 survive 1200 miles of swamps and sand? Florida Adventure Trail - Day 1

[@schneefoen]

What I particularly like about your channel as a foreigner and occasional USA traveler is the fact that you show your home country from a side that very few tourists know or ever get to see! Tidbits upon tidbits. And that's not just meant in culinary terms. And the fact that you are now also filming from a Ténéré 700 is of course the icing on the cake for me personally.

[@MotoMission.]

Hey. Haha. I like icing. Glad to show you the USA a little at a time. Later in this series I find some really amazing things that most people don’t know much about. Florida has a lot to offer

[@jasoncoffman4417]

Just bought the FAT 1200 GPX file because of this video, and the Bama 500 will connect to this perfect. Three of us are ready to see the rest and figure if this is a big bike 2up with our wives, or without.

[@MotoMission.]

Much of the FAT can be done 2 up. There are some sections that are deep sand that I would not suggest 2 up. Tell me more about the bama 500. And you must give me a full report of your FAT trip. I wanna hear how it goes. Expect plenty of tracks that do not exist on a road. You will have to navigate around closed roads and missing roads etc. Lemme know

[@charliepatterson9321]

Thanks for taking us with you on your journey. My body won't let me do trails anymore so this is more refreshing than you realize for some of us . You're so blessed to have Auny by your side , ive had so many arguments and lost many girlfriends because of my unyielding passion for bikes . I'm so passionate about bikes i told my doctors that i identify as a bike . They look at me sideways and i exclaim I'm two tired 🤪 - Live And Let Ride

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. You cracked me up. Glad you are enjoying the vids.

[@SunshineStateAdventureCo]

Awesome video man! I’m not sure how I missed this one! I created the FAT! It’s awesome to see more videos of guys on bikes out on the route. Makes me so happy 🫡💪

[@texlee1640]

We spend a few weeks each year along the emerald coast, we see it as a home away from home. It's awesome to see that there's an actual adventure track in the state. Now I have a valid excuse to drag the GSA with me next year and ride the FAT while the misses hangs out on the beach enjoying the best the country has to offer. Very much looking forward to the next videos in this series.

[@MotoMission.]

That would be a good life choice !

The first guy you asked about disneyworld is telling that story for days. Blessed !

Another great series coming up. Brock and wife. I've got a question does she use any kind of app for finding campgrounds or is it just winging it?

Mostly just searches the Google machine. But doesn’t over plan it. Yelp is good for finding the food. It’s my fav app.

Hey Brock glad to see you on the road again. How's that T7 treating you. How does it compare to the 890 r. Florida look nice bit like the west coast in South Africa. Enjoy the sea food. Say hi to the wife.

[@MotoMission.]

Hey. So far so good. This bike is killer

[@lamardurden8460]

I lived in Destin, FL. for 4 years. If you don't dislike sand now, move to Fl. You will dislike it as much as you dislike the mosquitos and sand spurs. I never ventured into the swamps because I am allergic to alligators and snakes. It ain't all bad though, there are lots of petty girls.

[@MotoMission.]

Allergic to alligators and snakes. Haha. Love it

[@michaelmarkin1532]

How are you finding the new bike compared to the KTM? I’ll be interested to see if yourun into any wildlife? (Not literally lol)

[@MotoMission.]

New bike is great so far. Lot different than the 890. I am collecting lots of data right now

[@davidreeves1110]

As someone whom God called to Florida more than 30 years ago, but whose heart is in the Blue Ridge mountains, I will be interested to see how you can romanticize this state in which I live! Yes, clear springs are nice, but have no comparison to babbling mountain brooks and rivers.

Buy 2

[@2-Wheel-Explorer]

There’s a ktm style gas tank for the t7 it’s not cheap but I’m sure you already figured out the t7 is super top heavy that tank should make a world of difference. I can’t remember the company but it’s not camel or acerbis

[@MotoMission.]

Thankful for the tips.

[@2-Wheel-Explorer]

Found it Safari tank 45 liter Not cheap but if you plan on keeping it long term and it will improve the fuel range center of gravity and handling it’s worth it imo

[@claycraig]

Hi Brock, you are in my backyard here in North Florida. I ride some of the same route it looks like you will be taking thru Tates Hell, Appalachicola National Forest just south of Tallahassee. Hit me up if you want a riding partner to show you around or if you need a place to plug in your RV for a day or two.

The T7 isn't a KTM, you won't have issues with it.

[@JohnSmith-rp8uh]

He had zero problems with the KTM till he accidentally filled it w/ water/sludge instead of gas. Then he kept riding.... I totally get how/why it happened, could have happened to anyone (me!), but to act like that's a KTM failure?😂

@@MotoMission. I bled orange for years on my bigger bikes (690, 790, 1190, & 890R) and still love my orange small bikes. Finally switched to a T7 from a '23 890R this year and am loving it. Bulletproof engine with plenty of low end torque. And contrary to others opinions the suspension is fine. Only thing I miss from the 890 is fuel range that will be solved with an Acerbis tank.
