Right?!! Makes me wanna ditch my 790 Adv r, lose some anxiety about reliability, grab a 2024 T7 Canadian 50th Anniversary Ed(just a graphics package for 50 years of Yamaha in Canada but nice!), spend the $$ where it needs it in suspension(although let's face it, an akro or pipe of some kind is a given!), and have a great bulletproof reliable adv bike that I can pack as many miles on as I want reliably as long as I take care of it. I'd miss the electronics of the 790 and the extra oomph on the road a bit for sure though. The crux of these decisions I think for most of us is how we're going to use the bike. I've always thought that the T7 is the better looker of the two too, but I think that there are plenty of opinions in either camp on that one. That's the beauty of the variety of choice we're spoiled with in the adv world, there's a bike for everybody, now let's go ride!! (says the Canadian who's in mid-winter riding his fatbike while he chomps at the bit for a spring that is way too far from now ☹️😆).
@@WeaverGr997Hey Man, I did drive the 790 Adv R and had lot of troubles. From Electronics to complete failure of the rear Brake(while offroad, downhill just before a corner) and they tried to void the warranty for some of the Problems by you know, wrong driving style, inspections not done correctly(all done by a certified KTM dealer) and such stuff. After 2 Years of trouble i went and got myself a T7 World Ride. And so far, I've never been happier with a bike. No trouble with the bike or the dealership at all. And i personaly think it's Performance and handling are far superior to the 790. Can take it to any where and trust it to bring me back. And have fun doing it. And for my part, I miss none of the electronics of the 790. I always had the impression that they only hindered me, not supported me on the Ride. But thats just my opinion. If your thinking about a T7 just go to a good dealer and take one for a few days. You're going to have quite a bit of fun. And about the 20 HP difference? The engine of the T7 runs much smother and has quite more of a kick in the lower rpm's. So if your not driving on a Highway you will barely notice the 20 HP difference. Drive safe.
"definately not what I was expecting from a general adventure bike"...then ARiemann says..."Ya that but they got the formula right in the weight and the balance and the chassis geometry, if any of that is wrong they are just pigs..." For riders of this caliber to be loving these bikes to this degree.....is a testament to Yamaha
Adam transforms into a different person when he’s on the bike and ripping through the trail with his mates 😂 I can only dream of having that riding ability. Well done boys.👍🏻
Just love this video. Mates being mates, demonstrating professional skill sets ... banter, joy ... one of the biggest draws to your videos (for me) is the shear love you have for adventure ... it definitetly comes through Adam.
Watching both of you shred the trails like that on adv bikes was awesome, but the way you caught the GoPro cuts, camera footage & drone clips in the edit made it absolutely amazing. Sick video! 🤘
Jesus Adam you throw that thing around like a 250. I could watch you all day poetry in motion. Keep up the great work with your videos. They are amazing 👍
That knock your mate took to his forks. There is a screw that holds the fork guard to the bottom of the leg in the casting. If that takes a knock it could break the casting. I have replaced those with plastic number plate screws. That way they shear off without damaging the casting. I have had to replace the one on the left due to that sort of knock since doing the mod. Excellent vid, makes me want to go out on mine, then I look at the frost outside . . . roll on spring here in the Northern hemisphere
Don’t worry Chris you’ll get the hang of it in a coupla days. FFS what a joy to watch 2 guys who can really ride. I’ll never be that anywhere near that capable but your skills and your passion inspire me to swing a leg over my bike and enjoy the ride for what it is. 2 wheel freedom and adventure.
The thrill you experience just by watching this video is unparalleled! I can only imagine how much fun it would be to effortlessly maneuver a bike like an extension of your own limbs. 🏍✨"
I love riding my KTM 890 Rally like that. The bike is so well behaved at speed. Feels like my EXC-F. Great riding and awesome trails. Glad that last jump didn’t hide side him. 8-)
Ive walloped my 890R thru some 2 foot craters, loaded for camping, and thats when it wakes up. Thats what the suspension is set up for is hammering it. Its firm otherwise but it eats the big stuff with out any notice. It would much rather be pushed hard than timidly putting around. Typical KTM.
What a great bike to start his adventures on then the first one ride across Australia, magic. You guys make riding those ruts like a walk in the park great riding skills great to watch Hope Chris a safe ride home Now war horse 3.0 World Raid looking forward to its transformation Thanks Dave
Nothing better than a great bike staying within the circle. It seems Hollis is as pumped about buying it as you are selling it to him. Thanks for making the video, looking forward to more.
You two make it look to easy ripping the that terrain. My little 50hp, 136kg bike is more then enough for me, those big bikes are more then I could handle. It's a treat watching you guys tear it up!
Same as me (minus the ex-national champion skillset ) . Rode bikes toured, bought a boat, sailed around for 5 years, now back to bikes. It was the latest crops of adventure bikes, the KTM 790 and Tenere T700 that really pushed the envelope and tempted me back.
It is 31c at 11am today in Newcastle, and will get to late 30s. Be nice to land somewhere in the middle of our two temps! Sitting here thinking about MTB or mmotorbike ride - both better options than mowing the lawn!
Love the banter and the riding of course. Each time I watch Adam ride the T7 I wonder if it;s time to move from my 300 2 banger to a T7 (can't afford both). Thanks for the content Adam. Cheers.
@@tonn333 Ditched the road bike some years ago so a T7 would provide the ability to ride road and dirt albeit differently than a road bike or trail bike. There's always a compromise to be had. Cheers
I’m bloody impressed at how well you guys ride so close to each other. If I’m riding with mates I either lead or follow at a distance. Some riders are unpredictable in the lines they use and sudden braking.
Great video Gentleman. I can almost feel the jumping over those dawned tree's. Brings back fun times with my mates. Hoping to get my War horse T soon in the mail. Cheers mate 👍 💪🖖
Nice one lads the T7 are a grate choice as an adventure bike with awesome off road capabilities from the moment the first one came out at around $17990 on road or some might of been a little cheaper . I road the first release one's and loved them even tho I don't own one I would if I was in the market for another adventure bike .. enjoy and have fun 🙂🤙
Good fun Adam.. letting go of a family member is hard but you have the new brother. The blue is a kool color! I opted for a Honda 2019 AT1000 .. awaiting spring here in the stated under snow and ice Around Bend Oregon out on 2 wheels
Watching his body move on a bike is... Unbelievable... Smooth, fluid, instant, feeling the mass of a bike, balance shifts... Uncanny
it's a bmx with power ! ....😉🙏 power of positive thinking
Tenere marketing team can take a vacation.
Adam sold the whole lot.
Count one here!
I've send my brother a message "I would like a T7.."
So.. Yeah...

You guys make it seems so easy and fun 😊. A little interview with Chris about his career would be nice.
pro motocross rider for sure xD
Collected my T7 today Adam, all thanks to you. You’ve not only helped your friend buy one, but you certainly helped me buy one! Cheers chief

Haha, not the first time I've heard that. Helmet on, let's go ...

Thanks mate, I prefer to just let cameras roll while having fun.
Watching both of you shred the trails like that on adv bikes was awesome, but the way you caught the GoPro cuts, camera footage & drone clips in the edit made it absolutely amazing. Sick video! 🤘
Thanks Greg. I've covered some ground on dirt bikes with Hollis over the years. Just another ride with my mate really ...
You need to be a highly skilled pilot to ride an adventure bike like this.
As a fellow youtube rider since 07 i can confirm this.
This guy is a pro rider , he can do it on any bike .
Jesus Adam you throw that thing around like a 250. I could watch you all day poetry in motion. Keep up the great work with your videos. They are amazing 👍
Thanks mate. I'm glad the World Raid handles so well and is relatively agile. I definitely don't regret moving from T7 to World Raid.

Mad! Good to see Hollis back on a bike and ripping.
Australia always delivers in Motology films. Savage. Like the riding.
Great to see the legend on the two wheels smashing a T7 first ride , great vid Adam . Nice bike you have there quality matters mate glad your onboard.
You guys are riding with such a finesse and flow. Amazing

Now war horse 3.0 World Raid looking forward to its transformation
Thanks

Thanks Dave.
Outstanding. Wish we had the low population density that makes adventure riding so much more fun. Mr Riemann...you rock.
Nothing better than a great bike staying within the circle. It seems Hollis is as pumped about buying it as you are selling it to him. Thanks for making the video, looking forward to more.
Pure badassery! Killer setup!
2 legends here. Probably the best adv channel on yt. Congrats.
Awesome Riding as always!!! Insane save by Hollis @16:50. That could have gone so much worse and the suspension undoubtedly saved him.
Awesome raw edit mate, love the helmet audio!
Even better is seeing Hollis back and on a bike.. and its a yammy again to even ha ha
You two make it look to easy ripping the that terrain. My little 50hp, 136kg bike is more then enough for me, those big bikes are more then I could handle. It's a treat watching you guys tear it up!
Mate, that was amazing. To see those ADV bikes in the hands of people that know what they are doing is a sight to behold. Loved it.
So enjoyable watch you two just killing it on those tracks and trails.
So good! Love watching the proper Pro level riding, just amazing!!
yeah definitely plenty of low down grunt, can hear ease of power paired with smoothness of engine, fantastic show of skills
Yeah those Tenere's are sweet for that. My KTM would be stalling 2nd gear up that hill
@@defylifeadventureits all related to gearing selection, might want to test/try different size sprocket for either drive or rear to increase torque
You guys are awesome on those bikes . Great to watch
The T7 is such a great bike. I love mine. It's great watching you ride with other skilled riders. Now, if I had half the skills that you have Adam...
some quality riding there ! I wish i could do a quarter of that . Shows how capable the bike is . Thank you.
Love watching you boys ride. I always learn something.
It's amazing to see how you tackle the 4wd grooves.
One of the best motorcycle video I ever saw!
Cheers!
I'm only half way through but I had to comment. Thank you for making a motorcycle video full of motorcycling riding.

wow! this is the most epic blast with big adv bikes I've ever seen! what a feast :)
Love seeing this. This is exactly how me and my mates sound raving about our adventure bikes!
Looking so fun! Love the sound of the acrapovic full system! 🥰🎶
Happy to see you back on a T7!
this video is the definition of friendship
Incredible video. I love how you both ride in sync with each other. Its amazing to watch.
Adam and his Channel are truly the best
Straight up no BS honestly and experience 👍. Keeps me coming back.
Hey! Better day already! Thank's.
Awesome. I´ll never be able to do it ths way. But very enjoyable to watch & still educating.
You’ve got a new riding buddy! Awesome shots!
Thanks for helping me live vicariously while it’s 4 degrees Fahrenheit outside and I can’t get back on the KTM for another 4 months. Love the content.

Man, I sure loved this video. So much fun! Great to see you two riding side by side at a very good pace.
what a ride, fast and furious :-) LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mad skills overall, particularly clearing the timber!
That was pure joy to watch.
Such a lively ride, great filming!
More. With. Chris. Excellent!
You guys have some mad skills! Geez…Freaking awesome.
Horrifying envy mode on! 😆
❤❤❤❤ Cheers from Belgium guys!
Wath a nice ride, awsome plase to ride a bike!
The Tenere is my dream bike :-)
Greatings form North of Norway😊
Absolutely loved watching this. Your videos never seem to disappoint. The vision of you two side by side nailing it up the hills is 👌🤘🤘
What a beautiful land you have. And what amazing think to share a passion with a friend. Ciao
Two good men on a bike, love the content mate
Adam,
Always love the cinematography in your films. Great content. You have truly mastered the art of video!
Those Downhills & Ruts are scary................... These riders are skilled enough to make those bikes look good.....
guys, it's unbelievable how you drive the t7. so much fun to ride and watch. Well done!
I love that Euros say "drive" haha, honestly I really do. And yes, we like to drive them hard.
Haha, How do you guys say "drive"😅. honestly what drives better, the t7 or the world raid?
I drive the t7 and i love it❤
As a super tenere owner I'd love to see you put one of them through its paces. If I was gonna take off around the world I'd for sure have a 700 ❤
So good to see Chris back again, didn't take him long to get the hang of it.
His bike is not ur old T7 is it?
Love ur work mate❤
Love the banter and the riding of course. Each time I watch Adam ride the T7 I wonder if it;s time to move from my 300 2 banger to a T7 (can't afford both). Thanks for the content Adam. Cheers.
Probably best to watch videos of average riders before you decide. We all imagine ourselves riding like Adam until we buy one then reality sets in😁
What do you think you’re missing out on with your 300?
@@mapache_del_sur Completely agree, one is no subsititute for the other unless budget or space is a consideration. Wish I could have both!

Nothing like some good fence line tracks and some technical single in the mix 👌
Really enjoy all your videos living in Florida I received your T-shirt today I think I'm going to order another one.
Excellent video, like usual. You make us mere normals aware of the fact that it's the rider(s), not the bike(s). Günter/Nürnberg
That looked like fun! Two great riders.
Great video Gentleman. I can almost feel the jumping over those dawned tree's. Brings back fun times with my mates. Hoping to get my War horse T soon in the mail. Cheers mate 👍 💪🖖
Wow! Great video! Mere mortals can only dream of ripping a T7 like that.
You guys have the best riding land/ areas I've witnessed😊👍😎Just incredible
You never disappoint…another stellar video
Now this realy shows how great this bike is!
Just eats the track!!😂😂😂❤❤🏍️🏍️👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
I have to say, Australia looks really nice...👍
Another great episode you make riding look so easy
One if the most fun videos you’ve put out. Love to see you straight rippin with the boizzzz.
what a ride what a ride guys
Really good quality close up videography. 👍 And poetry in motion tandem riding.
Go With the Flow. So Nice To See! It makes my day Thanks a lot 🎉
Just loved the video and the vibe mate. Your riding skills are so so up there
I can't wait to get my Tenere. I'm about halfway there. Baja here I come.
You both make it look too easy on the big bikes- well done, and some riding great advice, topped off with some stunning footage 😎👍
What a bloody good movie! Looking forward for more and I cant wait to meet you in person at the ABR festival!
Great video as always sir. Thank you for sharing this with us. Greetings from Malaysia
The fresh feels of a newly minted adventure rider. Can't beat it!
Haha, hollis has done 7000km across South America with me on 500EXCs in Motonomad 3, but this is his first twin-cylinder experience of this calibre.
Great stuff guys, the fun you are having really comes through the video. Fantastic! And LOL the "Kangoos are sending it!"
I can't believe how hard you guys can ride those T7's . I definitely want one. 👍👍👍👍👍
It's the rider, not the horse.
Mate, how good is this,awesome work🍺👍🇦🇺
rowdy , great fun- great vid
Absolutely the best damn motorcycle channel today. Cheers from USA and keep it shiny side up.
