The look on your face, and the hesitation in your voice during the intro brought this thought to my head: "So that's what stockhome syndrome looks like..." I kid, I kid. 😁 - Frank
Whats impressinve is all the other bikes have tried to copy the T7 in some sort of fashion. Why is that? It's tried and true. I've used small crf450l, big crf1000. I get it people want to get into ADV. I hit some gravel with my one wheel whoa. 8k+ miles on mine, in a year and half. I absolutely love it. Top heavy a little makes it nimble easy to maneuver off road. No fancy do dads with tracton and modes its a bike for people that are experienced on an off-road, (dirt,rocks,sand, an pavement to get you there). Yes, I ride mine to work on pavement or just to ride.
@@DoogunADV it is certainly a no frills bike. It does requires a more skilled rider. It has caught me out a few times unexpectedly. Glad you are enjoying it.
I own the bike with 10k miles and looking to trade it, the reliability is the best feature for me, everything else, the bike is a compromise... it is average in everything it does... if I want to spend more time off road, would get a lighter bike, if I want to spend more time on road, many many better bikes, this is average at everything...
@@guzziman I agree with you. That is why the Tiareg had been such a great bike for me. It rides really well offroad and can crunch road miles relatively easily.
Looks like selling it is the best part😂. It’s too top heavy. I can’t see any advantage to carrying the weight up high. Maybe for extreme off road. Dude, I have to go work and not the hospital. I don’t need a bike that encourages me to get stupid. I need no help in this regard. It’s awesome engine. Super reliable. I loved my Yamaha TW200. For my next bike, I looked to Yamaha. The only possible offering they have for me to progress to is the T7. I’m not interested. Seems like Yamaha would want to retain brand loyalty among their riders. Giving them no options at all doesn’t work. Where is my damn XT 500 or XT 650 ? What is wrong with people?!? Aaahhhh!!
@@advmatt For real. And it’s turning their back on a huge market. Also, it really burns me Europe gets at least 3 different versions of the T7 and USA only gets one. When I see corporations playing games with the customer base like this, I put away any notion of doing business with them now, or in the future. Why would a European’s money be worth than mine? In the moment anyway. We all that know that, long term, the USD is absolute garbage. 😂
*love*
It's a win for the Aprilia.
@@SashaV-ms7bd I agree.

@@OneOldManRiding yeah, there was some hesitancy. Thankfully these bikes seem to be holding their value. I should be able to find a buyer next spring.
@@advmattExcellent. It's tastefully farkled and low miles, it would sell well here. - Frank
Great video, where can i find a black plastic filler. Thanks

Tenere 700 has bullet proof engine. Torque graphic is very lineer in every rpm range. These values make it indispensable
The power delivery and torque are reliable but for me a bit boring to ride.

@@E_Clampus_Vitus I hear you. Yamaha just isn't making it in the Adventure market.
