Yes and no, really! If you want an off-road and capable touring bike the Tenere 700 is better in every way. This bike vibrates too much, being a single cylinder. But having a small amount of power makes it a good starting bike.
@AdventuringAround thanks for the response. Honestly, I'm not much about getting dirty. I would most likely use it in the city and small 45-minute highway trips
@@AdventuringAround Tenere 700 is a great bike, but NOT a good starting bike! It's tall and top-heavy, making it hard to start off-roading with no previous experience and very prone to drops when the biker is not confident. Off-roading on it is better done with a buddy that can help you. Also, true enduros that are actual off-road bikes, are all single cylinder bikes.
More unsolicited advice: don't go slower than the traffic, that's dangerous. Go the same speed or a. 'bit faster. I'm 71 and I want you to live to be old like me! Oh a few days ago I got a 2001 BMW F650 vs high miles for $2K !!!
wow...is there a link for the crash bars? Overall its an amazing bike ti ride. You take too much ''bike'' for the money you pay. I am new here so , greetings from Greece.
@@AdventuringAround I was suprised, two years ago, how long one can wash the motobike in Rumänien. Here in Switzerland 20% of the time and 200% the price.🥵 I will be in Rumänien again in the summertime. I'm sure to wash my bike then again. 🤣 Greetings from Switzerland Hans-Jürg
@@AdventuringAround 2023 I sold my Harley Davidson, 18 Years old 225000km on the clock, it looked like new. Then for two years Yamaha Super Tenere 1500XT (Ukraine Rumänien, twice) was just clean🤨 now BMW F650GS (for the wight), it has to have some dirt on it, ist ja an off-road bike. 😃 I will washed again in Rumänien. 😀😀 Greetings Hans-Jürg
Ok, I'll take your thoughts into consideration. But the problem was from the vibrochen sensor. I had the bike diagnosed and the sensor changed. Problem was solved.
Decades ago I had the predecessor of this bike, the first gen F650 Funduro. Very nimble and easy to ride, loved it.
Great! Nice rides! 🍻
Would you recommend this bike as a first bike purchase? I own bmw cars before and I always wanted a bmw bike

Agreed! I'm actively looking right now for a single cylinder bike to climb mountains on! 🥰 Cheers! 🍻
hi, where did you get that massive front bumper that goes over the front fender along the front light ?
It was custom-made by a friend! 🙂
Salut, ce camera folosesti ?
Salut. Acum, 2x GoPro hero 8 black. În filmul ăsta, foloseam un hero 7 black.
You should never pressure any motorcycle . The pressure can force out the grease .
Thanks! I was a new rider at the time and nobody told me. 🍻
Fk up your switchgear too. Horrors!
I sold this motorcycle a long time ago. So.. no worries. 🥂

🤣🤣 Thanks man! 🍻 I hope it will be at least as best as you say! 71 is a good number! Enjoy! Happy B-day!
Those were my first moments on the motorcycle, in the city. I just got my licence back then. 🙂
Salut, ai vandut cumva motorul, recent ?
Salut. Da, de vreo doua luni.

Nice to have you here! No link for the crash bars. Custom made by a friend of mine. Cheers! 🙂
this was painful to watch and very dangerous for other motorist. we all have to start somewhere but damn.
I don't know what you are refering to :)
Indeed it was mu very first ride after I got my licence, but it was... decent 😉
never use chemicals again to wash your bike. you cause irreparable damage to all lubricated assemblies. just H2O from distance.
Will do! Thanks! :)

Also, that was my first ride ever, and the first time ever washing the bike.
Cheers! 🍻 enjoy your trip here! 🙂

Das passiert nur weil sie nass ist. Bei mir funktionieren andere Dinge nicht, für 20 Minuten. Aber dann okay 👍
I didn't think about that! Thank you! :)
Du fährst den Motor zu Untertourig. Ein wenig mehr Drehzahl schadet nicht.
Definitely! 🍻 it was my very first ride! Ever! I've come a long way!
Yr stalling problem is probably due to that insane pressure wash. Don't ever do that again!
