    47000 km on my 2022 T7. No problems at all, valves at 40k service didnt need adjustment, still in spec. I run a HP Corse high mount exhaust, no modfication to the frame necessary. Acerbis plastic skid plate. Prototype Team(instagram) Explorer combined higher windshield and headlight protection screen. I also relocated my rear turnsignals to the rear light assembly (drilled a hole each side of it)
    Just for considerations.

      @@jmac03black It is the Explorer windscreen, it’s 7cm higher than the OEM screen. Im 177cm and have no problem with windbuffering on highways with this screen. But windbuffering also depends on how the wind passes the rear view mirrors, not just the front screen.

    That throttle snatch is common on cable EFI. I think it’s one of the few advantages carbs still have over fuel injection. I’ve considered consolidating my two bikes and getting this or a vstrom 800. I think it’s powered that way to keep it under stressed and keep it Yamaha reliable. Long haul Paul has 180k miles on his. Nice review man!

    Corrections:
    1. When i referenced BMW reliability, i was refering to KTM.
    2. For the tidy tail, i have the ALT Rider rack mounted above the tail, not below it. This is why its slightly higher than the seat level.

      I completely agree with your take on the T7 horsepower and the reliability trade off. The KTM 890 is probably the best example of what you'll get when you push the limit.
      I've considered sending my T7's ECU to BT Moto. They advertise a 4HP increase but idk if its worth messing with a bullet proof design.

    I'm an off roader and I bought one. It's a fun bike, but I sold it. I like the bigger ridiculous fast bikes more. I can still get them into stupid places where people look at you like you're an alien riding that thing. But honestly I have so much more fun on these big bastards on the street than off-road. Out in the sticks you just brake shit and keep dreaming about that 2 stroke sitting home in the garage, and how much more fun it'd be. That's why I sold the Yammi for something more exciting, don't really care if it's "great off road" or just OK. I'll still take it there if I need to!

    I once saw a guy on a 125 beat a 500 2 stroke in a drag race. There was also a guy on RUclips who compared a T7 against a 90-100hp bmw or ktm, cant remember which but he was faster on the T7 on a timed 100m dirt track. So all these people that talk hp, dirt is a great equalizer. The CP2 is such an awesome motor with usable power. On a ride I did awhile back there was tricky little hill climb, 3 big ktms needed several attempts to get up. It was easy on the T7. When they were all at the top there was a big discussion on which traction control settings they were using and why they failed. I was sitting on the T7 and just smiled. Good review.

    These are extremely capable off road. I know its not a dirt bike but still a great bike all around. Once you're done off road, its no problem jumping back on the interstate to head home. People knock the road use of this bike, but in my opinion it's great all around.

      @@Sventy11 I have thoroughly enjoyed the road on this bike. I'm not sure what people are expecting on the highway. It easily accelerates and cruises at plenty of speed. The bike's acceleration is comparable to a 450 HP car. If you need more than that, you are on the wrong type of motorcycle.

      Now is a very good time to buy dual sports and adv bikes. Dealers can't get rid of them. I just got a new 2024 T7 for $8650, no negotiation. KTM 690's, Husky 701's, and GasGas 700's are going for 2k below MSRP. The 500's are all gone now but there are a bunch of good deals. Soft demand, over production and new model years hitting the floor are killing dealers
