"I'm no expert dirtbike rider"
Literally one of the best RUclips riders that's not a true professional racer.
Haha it’s true! I’ve ridden with experts and they put me to shame. Sure, there are some things I can do that you coukd consider expert level. Obviously the wheelies, I don’t struggle to admit that 🤣. But overall, I have lots of work to do before Id generally classify myself as “expert”. And that’s okay!
But thank you very much for the kind words 🙌🏼
@@BeRAD even if you become GOAT, do not give up the "I still have a lot to learn" mentality. Uhm ok, you can lose the "a lot part" :)
Yea he gave us a Smoll pipi by saying that
@@BeRAD Isn't that the truth? 2 riders can both be boogiein' through the trees and look like they're hauling the mail, but the pro is doing it 3% smoother, on the gas 2% sooner and braking 4% later and he just walks away from the other guy like he forgot to turn the gas on! And the pro does it at every corner, over every bump, very consistently. Few if any mistakes. At the upper levels there are such subtle and minute differences that make the 'pros' and champions stand above the rest. And that is why they are so remarkable. Thank you for your content! Well done!
This is what I've been waiting to hear about this bike, from this kind of rider. I'll watch anything you come out with on adventure bikes
Haha thanks man! Yeah all I saw before was old dudes kicking gravel on dirt roads or Pol being Pol. No “advanced?/average” riders doing practical shit. It had to be made! I think I’ll start making these videos for different ADV’s. I think you need to get your hands on one for a race!
@@BeRAD please do!
@@BeRAD please please do a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro for your next ADV video!!
Go watch MVBDR . Has been 'enduro-ing' a T7 for years now. Aussie guy, good (not Pol) rider.
@@BeRAD please give a serious consideration to a sorted africa twin id very much like to know your thoughts
Perfect explanation. Moto guys will have no problem. However, the "i've been riding 20 yrs+ street guys" are going to be upset when they can't ride "like the videos".
Love this comment. Whenever someone hits you with that “ridin since ‘72” you know they’re jabbing brakes and burning clutches
@@ChrisSmoove77 nothing wrong with it, I've been jabbing Ivanka on the side
What about the "I've never rode shit before"?
😂😂
You have to be an idiot to think you can ride a 200kg bike like that without extensive training 😂
The linear nature of the engine takes care of the weight of the bike. It's not intimidating, but its fun. It's a fun bike, not a race bike, not a boring trail bike. Its so well engineered and can take you anywhere in the country which dirt or street bikes can't. It's Batman's weekend ride.
If I didn't know how good the Tenere actually is, I'd think that Yamaha paid a bunch of people to make advertising of this bike on YT. I haven't heard a single bad criticism about it anywhere.
It's like Yamaha said: "we know what's the bike that everyone wants. Here it is".
@@caracaes That's our culture today isn't it. Something is good, and you hear about it from customers, one thinks its paid. Yamaha is an engineering company, who happens to design motorcycles. Remember that. They are into other things as well.
@@caracaes There are plenty of bad things about it, like being top heavy, the idiotic exhaust hanger design, and the not so great suspension on the base model, but despite that this is the only bike that fills a hole in a market therefore if you want something like this, this is your only choice. The KTM 890 and 790 are not really competitors to this due to price and performance differences, the only bike you could argue that currently rivals this is the Touareg 660 from Aprilia using a very similar engine and geometry.
@@AntaresSQ01 lol but imagine getting a adventure bike from Italy
Not a race bike? Maybe YOU cant race it
My nephew and I spent 30 days and did the TAT. He on his T 700 and me on my Starbucks coffee cart my BMW F 800 Gs. We took these bikes where they probably shouldn’t have gone. I rode his T700 several times and fell in love with it. Much more nimble and forgiving than my F800GS. Incredible bike. Oh and sorry didn’t hit any Starbucks on our trip. All 10,160 miles of it. Made it back from Port Orford to eastern NC in 3.5 days of hard highway riding. Going to do it again but on my own T700.
@Scudrunner ADV. Nice to hear. And that’s three days of hard riding. I have a Triumph Tiger 900 RP and am currently on the TAT. I met another rider with a T7. I may be buying my own T7, but I do love my cruise control, and hand and seat warmers.
@@rallye81
Lol. I was wishing for cruise control. I agree heated grips are a welcome edition.
@@scudrunneradv3269 Have you looked at the Atlas Throttle Lock? If I did buy a T7, I’d probably add that, unless someone developed a more suitable option.
@@rallye81
Yes I have. I have a different version I used on the tat. My nephew had the same one on his T700. It worked pretty good. Would give you a long enough break for your hand to recover.
@@rallye81 I’m an experienced dirt rider currently in the market for a middle weight ADV. I’m looking at the T7 or the Triumph Tiger 900 RP. Since you’ve got some solid miles in, I’m curious what your thoughts are on both bikes and what advantages and disadvantages they have? It sounds like you prefer the T7 to your Tiger? Would love to hear your thoughts and experience.
It's so nice to see someone who really puts effort and pushing the limits with this bike. Cool video and wow what a rider! :D
You might want to check out Pol Tarres...
you should watch pol tarrés
@@alejogg or Adventure by Boano. Crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cool videos with jumps and shit.
Dude. . . you may not be a "pro racer" (A or AA), but you are absolutely an expert rider. No question. That's an easy statement to make. You can handle and ride a bike expertly. . . at least in the woods. And are a wheelie master!!
Awesome vid! I want a 700 now. . .haha.
Thanks a lot!! Yeah I’m a shit racer honestly but I’d like to think I at least have the ability to do some stuff that those people do haha. Like I can fake it at least with some things 😂. I’ve been able to keep up with some AA riders in the woods for shorter 10 minute loops. But I’m dead afterwards. I’m sure it all boils down to me never training like that. Obstacles, and climbs, I’ve sure got lots of work to do to keep up with those top guys in hard enduro! Next level those guys are.
The Tenere 700 has been my dream adventure bike for awhile now, it is a nearly perfect
Things are non existent at dealerships it’s crazy. I had to wait to get my 22 Husky TE300i and they said the Tenere is even worse of a wait
So near to get one, but flies fast.. Now I get WR450F 2021..but still T7 is my Dream Bike..waiting and following for next shipment so I can book one..
no, it isn't.
africa twin is way better !
@@mrricks420 AT is wonderful dual purpose, both of these are offroad biased but T7 is more, slim and agile, and the weight matter..in the its depend on the type of riding and personal choice..
Big bikes are a bit much for me personally but can’t get over the sound of the T7 and Africa Twin. Sound like Lions ripping through that terrain! Fantastic video mate. A lot of work into this one! Thanks for the great viewing 👏
The AT is waaayy bigger than the T7
@@Jajeweet I agree, I was just mentioning the love for the sound of that machine :D
@@seekadv8066 There's only about 50 lbs difference. But I agree, the twin sound is hard to beat
If you go for the standard africa twin without dct, like the model I bought, the weight difference is not that big. I test rided the tenere 700 and for me the Africa Twin was the optimal choice. The bike as a package feels much more appealing.
1:35 the beat and the motor sound synchronized so perfectly like 🤤
One of the best T7 videos I've seen. Awesome!
Thank you!!
Clean, short, to the point and honest. We need more of this... Thanks!
Really nicely done video! I think Yamaha nailed it with this bike. It’s a master of nothing but capable in many ways. It’s priced as such where u can throw money at an upgraded suspension and not feel too bad about it. Yamaha realizes 98% of people aren’t/ can’t ride like u. Glad to see a manufacturer buck the trend of an adventure bike needing to be 20k. I personally hate all the electronics and the added costs…. It’s mostly fluff in my opinion. That engine though is amazing, very linear power yet “zippy” for street riding. That and the general ergonomics u can’t change too easily.
Totally agree with you’re thoughts. I have a t700 and it is almost an automatic drift machine.
Brad 1:34 i notice you timed the engine sound perfectly to the beat 😂 incredible. No one wheelies better on YT
This is honestly one of the best reviews i have watched, not only for what you said or what you showed on the bike(both great), but also filmed very good. Lot of the factory (pro)videos are actually worse (dull). Great stuff.
Nice riding. Respect for mentioning Pol Torres. He had an amazing performance in Romaniacs. The only person ever to finish the race in a 700cc bike.
TARRES, Pol TARRES.
I like the last part when you can tell how much are breaking and hearing the chain slapping you know you’re going as fast as the bike will let you go 👍
I wish there was an entire class of these bikes - ADV bikes that are for dirt oriented riders - great vid.
Still waiting for that single cylinder bike that's meant for grown ups, and doesn't spell KTM and leak oil
@@martinfisker7438 hahaha touché. A proper yamaha 650 single would be siiiiick.
Man, this video is put together so well. Keep em coming.
Thanks man!! I’m very happy with it. Started as a “I’ll throw a gopro on and get a few third person shots” and turned into “okay….it deserves a proper video” 🤣
Worth the wait! Quality video BeRadical
And congrats on 100k!
thanks dude! Yeah I wasn't gonna slack and rush this one! Glad I was patient haha
Everybody is on the Yamaha Tenere train, but have you seen Toni Bou on the Honda Afrika Twin? Cows can fly my friends, cows can fly!
On a more serious note, I'd love him to compare it to the KT-squvarna 701/690 Enduro, same power 50kg less and overall closer to a dirtbike.
From what I have heard, the rear gas tank sort of kills it.
And KTM reliability puts the nail in the coffin
@@mikethompson7046 according to the German prime motorcycle magazine, Motorrad, the 690 supermoto performed well in the 50 000km endurance test.
And with the issues they had, I think we still have to take into consideration what we are looking at, it's a 700cc single cylinder high performance engine, of course it's not gonna be quite as bullet proof as a 700cc two cylinder with less power.
But you also got a bike that 50kg lighter. Or even 70 depending on who you ask.
@@petergriffin4629 ill take the tenere since some guy riding for charity has clocked 180 k miles and still going on a t7 with only regular maintenance btw
I’ve always wanted a dirt bike but haven’t been able to get one that’s why I watch your videos
@BeRad All the T7 needs is a fitout with Ohlins suspension (F & R), weighted correctly and it would be an easy contender for a few rallies and off-road events.
I have seen a few videos where people have taken this bike off-road with a similar result to your experiences.
Working at Ohlins in Sweden, I'm incredibly biased, but yes! This bike craves real suspension, designed and tested by enthusiasts, like Ohlins. It cost some money, but you get what you pay for. It's not like we engineers are working here for the wages, because they are average at best :D
That is the sweetest looking customised t7 I've seen yet, absolutely phwoarsome
Just went a little off-road today with my Tenere700.
Had the hardest moment of my life lol.
I have no clue how you can do this !
You must be an expert dirt bike rider ;)
Technique
Most notable, he stands up on the pegs. Start doing that.
The best off road test on this bike. Thanks for the video 🙏🏿
Holy cow, it IS just a big dirtbike. And that sound! Ok now I need one. Damn you.
Damn dude. You are like the doomslayer ripping and tearing that forest up! Nice job and an awesome video 💪 I could listen to that T7 sing all day
This was an awesome review. I’d love to see you review more bikes
Great Review and a great rider.
I still dont hear enough about the crossplane power to traction stability(linear) The engine is practically a 1400 Harley with the double footprint of a 700 Dirtbike. Great respect to Yamaha. All the best thanks.
Pol rode one at romaniacs. This bike can handle a ton especially under an advanced rider.
As many moto youtubers have said, this bike 'apparently' manages its weight well when it gets moving, but because of being slightly top heavy it is not so manageable standing still. and the "anti-squat" helps offroad
That thing sounds like a beast.
CO2 engines are incredible
CP2
Sounds like a damn muscle car, love it!
that beat drop at 1:35 matching the engine is so slick
I rode a guys Tenere 700 last weekend. His words exactly “It’s just a big dirtbike”
Love the comedy break! Sbucks classic!
1:34 exhaust perfectly matched back ground music
I just love the last part with just the XT music..... thanks bro.
This review deserves a subscribe! Always wanted to see this kind of test with ADV.
1 month ago, I got off the honda crf 250 l and got on the t7, trying to get used to it, I liked your video, I subscribed, love from TURKEY 🇹🇷🇹🇷
There's a man competing enduro event with T7 while the rest with 2stroke and 4stroke cross bike. And that man went BRAAAAAAAPPPPPPPP
man that thing sounds so good i kinda wish normal dirtbikes had that tone
Learning to ride my guzzi off-road has been a learning curve. Momentum and balance are key. You really can’t “manhandle” it. 👍
That exhaust note tho’ 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The KTM 790 and YT7 are some of the best sounding bikes imo. Absolutely phenomenal exhaust note from this bike.
The crap bajaj has no place near the king Tenere, honey ...
@@flosim5087 that's a cool opinion, honey...
@@tannerhawes6890 sadly for the orange pussies it is reality ... 790 bajaj was so good that they don't make it anymore after 1 year in production .. there is an 890 bajaj now ... same crap, just a bit bigger pile of it ....
@@flosim5087dude who hurt you?
@@tannerhawes6890 not the same marketing bs $ that got you, mucker
wow what an endorsement !! in need of suspension tuning but so are most stock bikes for off road so
I'm a newbie. Starting out on a TW200. Having fun. I really appreciate your Tenere 700 vid. Dang you way underestimate your skill level. Hoping someday to move up to a Tenere. What can I say. I'm jealous man! Great vid. Appreciate the time you gave to make it. The bike doesn't sound at all like I expected it to from a Yamaha. Sounds amazingly bad a**! Too cool! Excuse me as I wipe the drool from my chin. Out....
My riding style skill is very similar to yours, it’s sooooo refreshing seeing someone actually handle a bike. Too many youtuber riders/reviewers are very amatuer. They can barely balance a wheelie let alone jump a bike.
I can’t wait to start my own Chanel, it’s going to be similar style. Very aggressive adv riding.
And no, Everyone in the comments, this guy isn’t a pro. There’s a reason why he says he’s not, dirt bike guys know how insane the pros are.
Average riders are used to riding with other average riders.
Someone with a higher skill level can look crazy, but when you look at the pros it seems impossible
If you have some dirt biking experience, you can try to ride the T7 this way.
Without you won't learn it at the T7 or it will be very hard.
This is the absolute truth. It is really difficult to learn dirt on a big bike. Think about how many “fails” you have learning new skills. How many times in one session can you pick up a 450 lb ADV Beast? That said, I love mine. It is close to perfect.
I just finally got to throw a leg over one yesterday, i was stunned how small and light it is compares to things like the Honda and other "adventure" bikes. Im definitely sold and will likely pick one up soon if I can find a good deal!
Great video! Love to see the big bikes getting off road and ripping it up. Good to know it's not perfect, thanks for pointing them out for us. Just finding your channel now and joining your community. Love to support 2 wheeled content creators like us. Also very glad you didn't blow out the exaust with the tree hit. Your slow-motion looks awesome!!! 🔥💪
Awesome video. Its always been 80% rider 20% bike. But I own a T7 so I know that you're getting the full 20%, if that makes any sense. If you're a dirt rider, you get on the T7 and go WHAAAAT, This thing should not be this easy to ride in this terrain. And the other upside is, its super comfortable and fun, to get to that terrain on the black top. Win Win. 😀
Wow, I haven't watched you actively since a few years, it's really cool to see how you transitioned from being a street rider pulling 12 o clock supermoto wheelies to becoming such a good offroad rider 5:30 careful tho, cos the exhaust hanger is WELDED to the subframe and impacts on the exhaust can twist your subframe
Ive never ridden offroad and your telling me if i buy a T7 i can’t do this? 😫 come on man! This looks awesome!
It reminds me of the bike version of like a (old, not new) bronco or blazer. It will rock the trails, but you can also drive it to and from the trails and not be uncomfortable. To be honest, if I were looking for a bike, this is something I would consider.
Totally!!!
I get that it's 90% rider......but you nailed it, hard. It's testament to the bike that it can get an MX guy and stick him on a completely foreign machine and get results.
Fantastic! Possibly my next weapon of choice. For myself mainly to go off road wild camping 🏕️
I've been wanting one since I was a wee lad. I recently bought a tiger 800 because I didn't have the money for a t7, and it's blown me away by what can be done on a big bike. In a few years I'm hoping to swap the tiger for a t7. Waiting for the used market to pick up
I wonder who would like to get rid of the t7 even in future
Video idea (if you haven’t done this already) is to rank boots. I have a hard time finding boots that are flexible, yet protection is not compromised to hell. Preferably looking for tips on boots with pretty good ankle flexion to bend the foot uppwards.
If other commenters have tips, feel free to leave them here.
Every time i see a video pop up in my subscriptions makes me so happy! Thanks for the content bro
makes me happy that it makes you happy!
Nice to know that it can handle anything. I of course am NOT be as capable or as adventurous as you! I did order the T7 over the weekend. I’m told I won’t get it till January 2022 and it will be a 2022 model year. Can’t wait to get it DIRTY! BTW, he needed to change that exhaust anyway so just offer to help him change it and call it good. Probably should do the Camel high exhaust while you’re at it.
If you want to ride mainly offroad I would buy a Husqvarna 701 enduro with a cosmetic rally kit that makes the bike extremely beautiful. If you want to ride mainly on road I would buy the standard Africa Twin with no dct.
If you want to save money and do both with a dead reliable bike, buy the Tenere700
+1 to pretty much the whole video. BeRAD hits it dead on.
Playing on technical single track, it's honestly a slick bike. 450lbs wet, but you wouldn't know it unless you're picking it up.....except whoops....those suck.
5:25 This is how my friend slammed his leg into a tree and broke his hip. Be careful. Amazing skills!!
Fantastic review. Showing us how it rides where it counts.
It's not a KTM 500 but will follow it close behind.
I ride a Versys-x 300 in the same way and places. Not as skillful but just as much fun. Waiting on my suspension mods and bigger rear sprocket for even more aggressive riding .
Thanks!! Haha yeah…nowhere near any 125-500cc dirtbike. Those Ktm 500’s are soooo light and easy to ride. I would ride the 500 in any terrain id ride my 125 or 250 in. The T7? Definitely not hahaha. But for standard trail stuff, of course it’ll hang at a little slower pace!
KTM 500 is a dirt bike, this is an adventure touring bike, not even in the same class
man that exhaust note is really nice.
That's amazing riding!! I love my Africa twin, but T7 is equally great!!
Great review. Well done sir. Love that sound.
the modest maniac. Excellent video my friend. But you knew how soft the suspension was before you acquired it, but that's your starting point. They're a cult bike now with a huge following. I preferred more rode power so the A Twin won.
I'd love to try one out, and nice riding. But, I already have a decked-out AT (2018 manual) and a WR250R for the real offroad stuff.
Interesting that you say the stock suspension bucks in the back -- that's EXACTLY like the WR250R, which will literally buck you completely off the bike on a whoop if you're unprepared -- and that's with max rebound dampening -- I guess Yamaha is happy with their stock setup on their bikes being sub-par.
I'm waiting for a 400lb max bike -- what people forget is that once you add the necessary protection to these bikes, that weight figure climbs higher (my AT is probably pushing 550lb).
Contrast that to my little WR250R -- plastic skid plate and a lightweight radiator guard is all you need (and hand guards).
I love this bike, I have the 2021 standard black edition and the only other "con" you didn't mention was trying to pick it up if you lay it down in sugar sand or mud. Great video! Gotta get myself a camera to share some of my own action.
All motorcycle reviews should be this intense and honest. Would’ve been nice to see a test on a less tight track. One a little faster and more flowing. Was a great test nonetheless. Thank you so much.
Great video and Awesome bike a buddy and I are picking up two new bikes in a couple of weeks looking forward to it
thanks for sharing your experience
Alright my guy we are going to need a complete parts list of how this bike is set up because it looks sick
+1 🤩🤩
Man that looks good with no stickers/livery on the bike, nice riding by the way!
That akrapovic exhaust sounds amazing
You got some mad skills bro.. I been riding sports bikes and lately wanting to get into dirt
Stiffin front forks change rear spring and throw on a aftermarket pipe and maybe some new bars then its perfect.nice review! Best bike for the price 4sure.
BeRad hauling on a big T7 on single track, I cant even do that on my 2 stroke :(
That’s a competent rider right here
Good 👍 to see you sell Aussie Funnel-web filters mate . Great 👍T7 work
absolutely amazing production, as usual.
Thank you!
Awesome video. Really really enjoyed watching this. Thank you to you and your friends for all the work you've put into making this video! :)
That's some impressive riding! As a tatal noob this is inspiring! I just got a dr650 and my trail riding so far is nothing like this, but im having fun so far, lol
This is a very well put together review. Thanks man.
Ya
A 500 lb ADV ripping through the woods by a skilled rider!
Hilarious video with thoughtful and well done reviewing. I want one!!
What made Torres's bike capable for hard enduro was the very expensive suspension by Boano (Italy), it's really a whole new ballgame.
You are correct, however the average "adventure" rider with a body weight of 160 lbs (72 kg) would be fine with the stock suspension. Once one gets good enough to be doing jumps or big whoops, you can justify the expense of a suspension upgrade. Either that or get the KTM 890. For me, it's T7 all day.
@@burkerow yeah, I agree! Bear in mind though that the T7 has a potentially fatal flaw in its design: a welded non-replaceable subframe. You crash it and bend it or break it and it’s going to be hell to make the bike proper again. Most bikes have bolted-on subframes that you can replace in an hour or less.
this is such a great review of the T7. proper riding, nice trails and a rider who def. knows his way around a dirt bike. much respect! if i may ask, what exact mods are done to the bike?
THE BIKE SOUNDS SO GOOD
Excellent video. Damn i want one now, that exhaust note is soooo good
If you have the right experience you can also ride the Erzberg Rodeo Race (Pol Tarres) .
About time u uploaded lol.
I've gotten so bored that I've watch all your videos until 2 years back lol
hahaha yeah well quality takes time (: thanks for wtahcing all the old stuff (:
@@BeRAD yeah true, well if the video is always that quality I don't mind waiting lol. Some of your old videos are actually pretty good 👍
I was on a ride yesterday with twin cities adventure riders. The guy was ripping the gravel roads and minimum maintenance rads up on his tenere.
Omg 😲 what a great video 👏🏼
You just made me want one so made 😩
And this is why I ride a KLR650.
If I had one of these people might expect me to ride like this! With a KLR people tend to lower their expectations.
Excellent I really want one, I work for a Yamaha jet boat and can get one for 35% off but it would probably be a one year wait even if I had the money, love the wheelies, I don’t think I’d try it anymore at my age, but looks like a great bike especially for out here in East Tennessee or I could cover a lot of ground but not at your speed 😱👍
Sounds like a raptor 660. Must be same engine. It's a nice sound.
Great review and ..um.. you ARE an expert rider!
You have mad skills. Great riding skills! Enjoyed the video.
