Yamaha Tenere 700 vs Husqvarna Norden 901: Which Bike Am I Taking on the Washington BDR?

It's an adventure motorcycle showdown months in the making. On the eve of my very first BDR trip, I have to decide Husqvarna Norden 90 vs Yamaha Tenere 700. Which adventure bike am I taking on the Washington BDR? Which bike has won out and will be the one to carry me from the Canadian border all along the WABDR to my home state of Oregon?
Trying to decide Yamaha Tenere 700 vs Husqvarna Norden 901 has not been an easy process. I've put 1000 miles on both ADV bikes and my initial Husqvarna Norden 901 review and Yamaha Tenere 700 review are both incredibly positive. These are both super capable bikes that are very fun to ride both on and off the road, so when I had to decide Norden vs Tenere, it ended up coming down to the tiniest details and differences because either of these bikes would be the perfect adventure bike for Backcountry Discovery Routes.
In the end, deciding Tenere vs Norden came down to a few important factors: comfort, performance, and the joy of riding. Ultimately, I decided to go with the one that is the most fun to ride and while both Norden and T7 are amazing, there's one clear winner in this category.
Which bike is better, the Norden 901 or the Tenere 700? Watch and find out!
