10:50 for the real off road :) I got this T7 from Twisted Road! Go check it out here www.twistedroad.com/ref/yammie I'm an investor in the company and truly believe in P2P motorcycle rentals. Also go to Chase's channel! ruclips.net/user/chaseontwowheels
I go up to TWoS several times a year and know exactly where you're doing this presentation from! Where was "the real off road" stuff? Looked fun.
Here in Australia, most people takes these ADV bikes well and truly off-road, deep into the bush and desert, we have some great suspension people in this country that make these bikes even more capable in those environments.
I've watched the T7 in Oz videos. With some reasonably priced suspension mods and beefing up the exhaust mount, the T7 can be an absolute off road monster. Kudos to those guys. Impressive!
You guys down under are also huge WR250 fans! Seen Australians doing insane things on em
@@yammienoob Yeah, i actually bought one, a 2020 with 250km on it a month ago to do up as a light weight adventure bike.
Some of the Aussies rolling this bike are insane, though the core is there. I took mine single-tracking with just crashbars and new tires, and was really impressed. I bet with pimped suspension it's nuts.
Still hoping we see something like a Tenere 350 or something though after the loss of the WR250R. Especially after Kawi and Honda refreshing theirs to 300s.
@@ElectronNinja Like the XT 250?
Can confirm T7 = cushy big dirtbike vibes.
Can also confirm, was called a lunatic for taking it down singletrack, and lived. 2nd gear and clutching for most of it too.
It does road, it does gravel, and it bombs down singletrack, all while being super simple. Swiss army bike.
Has some flaws, but overall it's a winner.
TLDR: Yamaha made a better KLR650.
oh come on! Just because the klr has half the power, damper rod forks, and weighs more doesn't mean u....wait where was I going with this?
Well at least it's cheap! Though part of why I went with the T7 was that despite being a 30+ year old design, KLR650 parts are EXPENSIVE!
A T7 radiator assembly is ~160$. The equivalent SKU for the KLR is $800+. That said...ebay provides.
meanwhile Kawasaki actually managed to make the KLR worse than ever! It actually now weighs right about the T7 weight but not close to the power...other than the low price Icant imagine wanting the new klr....I went to the gieco adv rally lots of bikes of all makes I saw one older gen klr which I never saw it move from parking place but not a single other klr on the routes or parking /camping areas.... pretty much said it all right there
I have both the KLR and T7 and I can't justify keeping both, the T7 really is just a modern day better version of the KLR. IThe CP2 is a proven motor and is practically bullet proof, it's insanely fun on the street, it looks super cool, and it's not a complete pig off-road. The only thing the KLR had going for it was that it was the most bang for your buck adventure bike, but the T7 is only a few thousand dollars more and you get a much better bike imo.
Got 2000 miles on my Teneré 700 so far, and loving it! Having a blast in the dirt, planning some big dirt road trips.
Rookie numbers! I brought home my SV650 in March with 0 miles on her and I just crossed 6500.
But Casey bought it a week ago Nick
Well it's been more like a month, so give me couple more and I'll be up in the 6000+ mile range!
@@nicksmith8166 but you have a tiny pair unlike the rest of us...SV is a street bike
This boy was only an hour away from where i live AND I WASNT AWARE UNTIL NOW!!! damn i could have meet the man who got me into motorcycles. one day. maybe
Like the Classical music in background. So refreshing compare to the obvious rock metal music always paired with motorcycle video. You guys are doing a great job. Thank you
As a huge outdoorsman seeing the high prices of adventure bikes nearly broke my heart! It's between a CB500X or T7 now
yep same
The great, great grandchild of the XT500.
The older I get the more I find myself looking at this class of bike. For me the one I've watched a lot of videos on and find myself gravitating toward though is the 650 V-Strom.
I've got the T7 all whacked out for dualsporting, and a friend has the 650 strom XT. Both 2021s. The strom is the better "touring bike" out of the box IMO, while keeping some offroad chops. More comfortable and lower set.
That said, the T7 is like a KLR. You can go put a couch seat on it with highway pegs.
TLDR: T7 is more offroad biased and can absolutely go singletracking, but you can totally go on roadtrips. Wee Strom 650 is more road biased, but will still scratch your dirt road itch if you want it. Both have excellent power delivery with either a 270* crank (T7) or the 90* vstrom twin.
@@ElectronNinja yes that's kind of the impression I had with watching different RUclips videos.
Both seem like excellent bikes that have their strong points aimed at different type riders.
The fact that I'd very seldom go off road other than maybe down the occasional rural gravel road is one of the reasons I'd go with the V-Strom. I'd be more likely to enjoy some of the twisties though the mountains here in BC on good pavement, and my adventures might briefly take me off that for a more scenic view at times.
Happy and safe riding brother. It sounds like you and your friend have some nice riding ahead on those new bikes.
Just picked up a 2015 V-Strom 650. Rode half of route 66 and it was very fantastic. Comfort fuel economy power everything was just right. Got a really good deal at under $5,000.
Took a long time for me to find one at that rate.
@@JCrozier1 I had heard the comfort and fuel economy is great on those. I have a feeling that sooner or later I'm going to get one. A new DL650A here in Vancouver BC is $10,200.00 CDN or about $8,400.00 US, although when you ad in taxes and extra charges it bumps it up quite a bit more.
For a bike like that I'd still consider it a pretty good value though.
For reference, my other touring bike is a bandit 1250 s with a tall screen and a sergeant seat.
Mini tanks on my ride with the V-Strom were over 50mpg. The bandit typically did 35 to 42 depending on how cool I was about speed.
The t7 is a little lighter than the 650, but with the initial cost to buy one, and of course, availability, I would try a V-Strom.
Thanks A LOT YAMMIEE. I love your channel, watch and like everyone for over a year now. I live in South Africa and Adventure bikes are more popular here as we do have so many gravel roads that you can travel accross the country avoiding tar roads almost completely. I ride a Dakar Bmw GS, which is a cheap, very simple, capable and reliable bike. Thanks for all you guys hard work making quality and interesting entertaining videos.
"...You see dudes doing incredible things on instagram..."
Pol Tarres has entered the chat.
Just bought one. Arrives this week. Can’t wait.
Dude, this is the best review of this bike I've seen, and I watched FortNine's epic production. I've been looking at a potential secondary future bike, and when I saw that Yamaha makes a smaller, lighter version of the Super Tenere, I was immediately interested. I started looking around for online reviews and found yours. This is exactly what I would be looking for in a beginner ADV bike, and the engine size, power and smoothness is perfect. Thanks for providing 3 types of terrain; rough / mud; light dirt / gravel; and pavement.
Okay the million-dollar question for yammy. T7 or desert sled!
Such different uses. What are you gona do with your bike most?
You’re gonna need the desert sled to go out and explore and the T7 to come back
@@MonstaFreak13 daily, fire trails, odd weekend away...really, this question is perfect, I recon!
There are quite a few Desert sled customers who are toggling between that, the Trumpy 1200 scrambler and the T7.
Turn signals tho holy moly! I know you guys know but stands out on this one. They look like 1980s Xmas window candles. Lol .That said it is on my short list for second bike.great review Yammie!
I am convinced Yamaha owns the aftermarket light companies and makes sure people spend more money. First things ripped off my T7 were the lights and goofy tail hangar.
It was about time yammie
You shot that video where I go camping and fishing. Great area to ride dude!
Just went Maryland to Oregon and back on a Triumph T120, great time! That T700 would have been nice, you wouldn't believe all the dirt road/ trails I couldn't explore and wanted to.
Greeting from Eastern Europe. Great bike man. I hope one day soon I will be riding it. It will be great if you make a video about how fast (in terms of fun and safety) you can go on a twisty road with offroad/adv tyres. If you already have done one, pls excuse me, couldn't find it. My favourite channel. Keep it up.
Greeting from Malaysia.Good honest review.
Thank you for a great review....
2 Yammie vids in one day? Yessir
pretty gnarly trail with honda accords on it lol
I’ve had mine since April and the ONLY thing I’ve changed is the windshield. I would like to change the seat as it gets really hard after a hundred or so miles. Oh, I also went up 1 tooth on the counter shaft sprocket because I do a 125 mile ride each way to the VA every month. I’m 60 years old and been riding since I was 4. I’ve ridden everything from Honda SL’s to Ducati’s and this is the best motorcycle I’ve ever owned. Number 28.
Here is my dream Yamaha WR350R or T3 and ideal features that I would love to have,
- Wet Weight 325 - 350 lbs
- Engine 350cc
- Seat Height 33.2inches (3"4' lower than wr250r). Same seat height as Yamaha DT125 1983 model.
- Wider and more comfortable Seat for long distance ride
- Gas Tank capacity 3 Gallons
- Max load over 400lbs just like wr250r
- Better Front and Rear Suspensions
- Brighter lights LED lights
- Better electronics system for add-on extra lights. But not drain the battery.
- Price $7699
- Long maintenance intervals just like WR250R or T7
- Should be comfortable on Highway with 80mph true speed.
- ABS on/off
- Don't put the exhaust pipe low like T7. But put it like DT125 1983 or WR250R and make sure to not burn the cover or anything by it.
Looking forward to some trial biking :P
Nostalgic video quality my guy
good review!
5k miles and I love my T7. Sold a couple of my other bikes because this is just so much fun in in a variety of riding. Pretty peppy in town. Easily does long miles but agree the stock seats needs a cushion or the rally seat. I’ve even taken this on MX tracks and it surprisingly does well. Don’t get me wrong it’s no MX bike but u can run it fairly hard and even with the stock suspension it can handle jumps no problem. The only thing I upgraded was a heavier rear spring because that bottoms pretty easy with the stock spring. I kept my CB1000 for when want to go fast and twisties but honestly when I have 50/50 tire on the T7 is pretty fun on the twisters in a different kind of way. Only gripe is this bike is top heavy and a beotch to lift in off road conditions.
"50miles out to where you're trying to go they're pretty harsh to travel on" 😂😂😂😂 just got back from my 4000mile cross country trip on a dual sport. They're not harsh to travel on 😂😂😂
Serious bang for the buck!
That's the Woody Gap parking lot! Lots of great paved and unpaved roads in the area, ride there every weekend.
oooo the 700t. would love to try one
I love mine! Taking it on a seven day TET trip in Norway next week - can’t wait!
Nice, I live there it really is a beautiful country.
@@eirika05 Så trivelig, antar at du kjører selv? Reiser fra sørlandet i morgen tidlig.
@@JohannesDalen Ja, jeg skal ta lappen på lett MC snart
Jeg håper du har en fin tur!
@@eirika05 Takk! Lykke til og kjør forsiktig.
my dad loves his t7. great bike
Love the indicators.
Lmao, I was just at the intro lookout today. Fun place to ride.
Hey Yammie I'd love to see a review on a Honda CRF300L Rally if you can get your hands on one. Thanks!
I’m in the North GA Mountains. There are some pretty intense USFS roads that are not maintained at all near me. You would have a fun challenge climbing up and down the rocky spots in the mountains roads on that bike.
2 videos in less than 6 hrs
Yammie is surely busting some ass
Wow yam that was nice of you to rent that Tenere for me! You didn’t have to do that!
I have a 2022 Rally model and this is awesome bike..... 🥰🥰🥰
I guess I’m a lunatic. This bike is awesome in single track!
Planning on honing my off road skills on my 640 until I can afford this sexy beast
Welcome to my college town. One of the best roads in Georgia for riders/drivers.
I live close to North East GA. Where the heck is that look off at the beginning of the video?
this is on my list of 2nd bike. as a new rider, who started out on a smaller bike. this as a middle weight is the perfect upgrade. Just hope they're not as scarce in a year or two.
They will be, they are that already 🙃😏
Great review on fortnine. There’s a great engineering reason why this bike is so well planted to the ground
Yeah but who wants to actually sit through one of his videos. Insufferable
@@yuhyuhtheindigo7085 many people disagree with you. About a million if I’m to throw out an estimate.
@@yuhyuhtheindigo7085 His videos look far more epic than most. I guess the science parts might be boring for you.
@@ganuvien nah I mean I just want someone to talk about the bike and how it rides. I think his channel is way over produced and I really hate it presentation delivery style. Trying way too fucking hard to be Top Gear and he just comes off like a total goober. That’s just my opinion obviously
Love my tenere! Traded my ducati scrambler for it best day ever!
Did you have a sled, or one of the lesser sprung ones?
Grew up on dirt bikes, and I’m tossing up between the T7 and the Sled as a daily/fire trail/weekender.
hell yeah!! I’ve been eyeing this bike for the past 2 months just WAITING to pull the trigger then papa Yam releases this?! My minds made up, I’m getting one 🙏 A lil background- I’m 27 and just bought my very first bike ever (ktm 390 adv) and it’s been the perfect beginners bike... I just really want something more capable and with more power now. These are hard to find here in Phoenix, certainly best bang for the buck all-around mid weight adv bike on the market... the nearest competition is ktm and the Africa twin at both nearly 15k... this one is more than capable for any serious adv rider and at 10k USD?! puhhleaseee ⚠️😭💪
Had to wait 5 months, but the hype train is real this time.
It's a no frills offroad biased ADV. KLR 2.0.
I have the 890R and it's next level good. Tons of power and I've taken it on some nasty off-road trails (all dirtbikes, I was the only ADV bike there). That being said, it was like 17k out the door after tax and all the fees and shit. So that might not be worth it to everyone.
I just got my tenere about a week and a half ago and I fall in love with it even deeper every time I ride it, something that I find funny that you're going to find out if you get one is that compared to your 390 adventure the seat hight is just about the same but ground clearance is much better, good luck men u hope you get one, you are going to love It
Thanks Yammi!!!
How would you compare it to the DL650 Vstrom?
They are really popular in Australia. They are costing more than retail there from what I hear. Kind of like an Australian Harley at the moment.
My 05 gs1200 still running strong!!!!!
Ryan F9 reviewed this bike a while back, he was very positive about it as well
How do you compare it with your ducati scrambler DS?
Wich one you prefer for off road ? On pavememt behavior?
I hesitate between these two.
As you said, those trails you did it's what most people will do as "off road"
ride this bike sins september. 2020. got 16000 km on the clock and its june 2021. i love it to bits and have no idea why people complain about the seat. i mainly try to hit dirt and love the seat.
did a to antwerp [ oud doel ] and around trip from zwolle, single day. no complaints love it to bits.
only gripe i got is the abs. i wish it stayed off when turnd off.
How long are you ?
@@fingerscrossed2317 182 cm. beleave thats 5.10 but dont know for shure
I'm dying for this thing. Keep calling the dealer to check on my preorder, they have no idea when the damned thing is gonna show up
Bro they're out there if you look around. I'm not going to tell you the way because it ruins it for everyone but I found one that was inbound about 2 weeks ago and it gets here tomorrow. Only downside I had to pay for some shipping
Same situation here. Oh well... should be worth the wait.
Hey your in my neighborhood! Welcome!
Papa Yams.. my bike is in the garage getting new stickies and inspected so I can be a safe squid.. its been 12 hours. Idk if I'm gonna make it but your content is easing the separation anxiety
Check out the Backcountry Discovery Routes and videos of people doing them if you want to see people 'crushing' off road on big bikes. People do it, just maybe not out east or down in Texas all that much.
You need to try an Africa Twin too. A little bigger and heavier but also very capable and a fantastic engine.
I think, correct me if I'm wrong, cruise control would require throttle-by-wire.
I also rented one for two days and rode it on about 100 miles of mixed off-road, gravel and some deep sand. Unfortunately I dropped my rental in the sand and broke a couple of ribs. On the second day of my rental I went and got a chest X-ray and verified the fractured ribs and then rode the bike 150 miles that day- after I took 800mg of ibuprofen.
But, as soon as I can put my hands on a new 2022 I'm buying one. Absolutely loved the bike.
Please compare it to your desert sled please, I think they aren't that different, besides the looks of course
Such similar design briefs!! They come from totally different sides, and end up nearly in the same place!! 👍🏼
Your follower count when up when you started speaking Into the mic and "interviewing" the motorcycle
Whoot Georgia!
Yamaha as made a real capable bike there iv brought 22 plate and it's a keeper.
Oh, thanks.... as if trying to decide between the honda nc750x or the Suzuki v-strom was bad enough.. you show me this....
The best bike I have ever owned.
Man, I really, really want one... I got the 'gotta haves' like real bad. I thought about getting a KLR and getting a sticker kit to look like the T700. I'd call it 'Fraudzilla'.💩💩
Nice blinkers
Aren't you from Denver? Any rocky mnt 4x4 trail or pass would be perfect for this bike. I see adv riders cruising up Ophir, Bear Crk, Stoney, Como (etc..) pass all the time. Some having more fun than others
Dude ride how you want to ride it, it's a rent bike you don't wanna destroy it, be responsible I like that, you're doing a good job, I need a t7 for real haha
Now can you do the honda africa twin
Which one would you pick ... versys 650 or 900 or tenere ?
If you see a blue one around Cedar Park/1431, thats mine.
So I’m torn between Desert Sled or a tenere. Riding ATV trails in NE Minnesota as well as lots of short hwy trip under 100 miles. Currently have an Icon which I love, but trails would kill it
I love mine
No mention of handlebar vibration. Smooth?
Please review a honda cb1300
How did you like it compared to the Tiger 900
now all i have to do is wait 2 to 3 years and buy one with residual value
Hey yammie...can you shit talk drz's so used prices come back down?
Sincerely, us broke squids
Holy shit I think I know exactly where this was filmed. I have a tree fetish and this is one of my favorite places to sit n stare if it is where I think
What about compares to the Desert Sled?
Needs cruise and heated grips, then i am a believer.
As an adventure guy who hits up single track in SHNF I feel attacked by this video
Consider the f700gs whatever you want. I rally that more than most would and the tenere is much better at going offroad. The t7 cam handle a ton
Today... A Tenere simp was born.
How do you find roads like that?
cruise control would be nice but you need ride by wire to be able to get that from the factory
No you don't 😉 my harley sportster has the plastic-wheel-thumb-clamp solution installed from the factory. Although I am scared as hell to use it, especially here in switzerland with loads of traffic and curvy roads.
BMW had cruise control for years I think long before ride by wire didn't they??
Rise by wire = utter garbage
Remember when you called the Versys a dorky bike? It’s all about adventure riding. Versys might have its limitations but these style bikes are a great addition to the classes of bikes. To each their own, stop singling out people for what they ride...
Now review a moto guzzi v85tt. 🙃
Basically Yamaha s answer to the KLR 650
If I upgraded from my KLR650 it'd be to this bike, haha. Definitely an upgrade but still relatively uncomplicated. Maybe in a few years!
Obliterates the Kawi in every way
Oh yess
Can’t decide between this or the V Strom 650XT ... the strom is slightly less expensive at 9300 vs the 10k for the T7 and the Suzuki also has a 2 in shorter seat height ....
Tenere is legend and will be legend at alle times, I stil see thumper Rollin things are like 30 years old 😂
I would love a Yamaha WR400 R
As capable as the T7 is, I will choose the KTM 890 R and it's fluffy ways. Superior suspension and electronics which will keep me from killing myself. T7 is no slouch though..... the low price makes it very attractive.
I absolutely love mine. My only complaint is about 80 miles in the seat gets a bit uncomfortable. I take it everywhere I take the wr250 and I hit the curves like I did on my old cbr. It does everything so well.
Have you swapped out the seat?
Have you ever ridden a bigger adv bike? I’ve ridden 1080,1290. That’s it. I’m torn between the Africa twin and t7. I think the t7 would be better for fore roads, harder dirt and around town. But the Africa twin would be better for highway miles and carrying gear. I’m not sure what to get. Once I pay off a loan I’m going to make a decision.
@@kyjelly5524 I sold my T7 and bought an Africa Twin. The T7 is the perfect 50/50 bike. I bought a TW200 for trail duty and got the Africa Twin to replace the T7.
@@travispace9176 dude. Same dilemma. I have a drz and it’s great. I want a t7 or Africa twin for better road riding and long distance. The Africa twin would be better for the road, long highway rides, passenger, and carrying gear but the t7 would be cool because I can hit the local trails, it’s lighter, I can still go far but not as comfortable. If I get the t7 I wouldn’t ride with a passenger unless it’s really close. The t7 seems like it would be more fun around town and I may be able to hit harder trails than the Africa twin.
Get the Corbin Dual Sport seat
Ga represent
I’m like how Yamaha found a way to repurpose the Apple Newton. Economical!
