I also have a 2022 Furiosa Rally. Love it. Haven't tried it off-road since it's still a big bike. But thinking of trying it off-road soon. I also added a few accessories like a telefone holder, handlebar raisers, touring screen, Cycra Hand protection, heated grips, protection bars front and back, top case, tire pressure sensors and sticker set for the whole bike. Now it looks like a true world traveller/dakar bike.
Don’t let anyone mock you for riding with a top box Mine saved me alot of money when I got side swiped on my Tracer The frame guard helled a lot as well. Enjoy your Tenere 🍻🍻
How you sound & look are so different. You look like a rough Socrates ( Brazilian footballer ) but you sound like a muppet ( So approachable even children can relate ) So happy to have you back.
Cager you must stand on the off road sections . And rip that throttle hard . Love your videos subbed a few year back when you first reviewed the Mt 09 . Which I went and brought. Now iv brought the tenere same as you . Keep up your reviews regards from England 🏴
Wow, you came along quite well cager! I remember you when you first started the channel with your NC700X and now with this, well done. you influenced me to get my first big bike which was the cb500f, I remember watching your review in 2013 and you convinced me to get that bike. ride On and stay safe.
Cool to have you back! Does Portugal always have good weather? Or do you just pick the good days for your reviews? I never understood the appeal of offroading for offroading's sake. Too much work for too little distance. I sometime trail run past people banging away on enduro bikes in technical terrain. And even with me running, it looks like they are the ones working the hardest..... Not to mention the madness of cleaning and maintenance after every outing. I'd only put up with offroading like this, if it was necessary preparation for a truly epic trip which included sections requiring some off-road skills. Shy of that, the dirt section of a supermoto track is as far offroad as I'll voluntarily venture. And that only on track/school owned and maintained bikes...... But, as they say, it's a good thing we're different. It would be awfully crowded if we all insisted on riding the exact same roads/trails all the time..... That Tenere does look cool. Even as a pavement guy, I appreciate the ruggedness and lessened fragility of many bikes with off-road aspirations. It's good to have a bike which, like you say, wants to be treated roughly :)
If you want to really accelerate your off-road capabilities buy a 125-250 cc MX bike and flog it around a local MX track, maybe you can store the bike at the track. Or buy a 250cc enduro bike and find some guys to ride trails with. The Ténéré 700 isn't the heaviest of off-roaders but you'll still learn 10x faster and with less risk on a smaller lighter bike.
@@CagerOnTwoWheels True, well we appreciate your well thought out and informative videos! If I might offer one final piece of advice, if you can't afford a smaller bike to learn on you could consider getting some real MX boots and MX knee pads. You should be able to get both of decent quality for around Euro 200. Lower body injuries are the most common, probably followed by collar bone and wrists. And I can tell you from first hand experience that knee injuries are NO fun! MX boots and MX knee pads should give you more confidence and control too :)
Boas Cager, belo vide, bela máquina, sou da zona, um dia que queiras damos umas voltas, tenho uma klr250 só tens de ter paciencia e esperar por mim 😅 mas conheço muito caminho sem nada de muito dificil nem pra estragar, abraço
Did or will you do something about the exhaust hanger to prevent bending it ? I doubt the plastic you talked about will do that good enough ? Of course we need a video of you changing riding clothes into suit on the parking lot of one of your clients ... stay frosty
Curious about the lowering kit. By how much does the seat height drop. What is your inseam to feel confident on the bike. I have previously ruled out the Tenere, because of my 31 inch inseam, but now the Explore model is coming out with standard seat height of 860 mm. Maybe it will be ok.
Well, I'v ridden 2 hours with no issues. BUT (and this is a big butt) you have to move around - it was two hours with some standing up, some seating up front, other seated further back... that helps a lot. And that makes this flatter seat MILES better than stock.

Congratulations on the new bike,it looks awesome. Have fun exploring,I always loved that.

And I am glad you ride offroad like a normal person and not like a Dakar winner with rubber bones and a full service team ... well done.
Cool to have you back!

Tenho um amigo que tem uma e é um espetáculo.

Was the offroading before or after the shopping for groceries?
