@@anthonymalfino1 those KLRs are practically indestructible! I’m loving the tenere and I just got my first couple boxes of aftermarket parts yesterday so looking forward to starting to set this thing up for some future motocamping!
I highly recommend the brake fix from Camel ADV, it's a stiffer pedal with a modified leverage point which gives you a more responsive and subtle brake feel, much easier to modulate. They also sell 3 different tips depending on your preference. The enduro tip gave me knee pain, personally (probably because it made me angle my foot/knee inward too much), but the folding tip is fantastic. Have fun with the build, it's a fantastic bike. I did both east coast BDRs and the Smokey 500 last year, it is perfect for that type of terrain while carrying all the camping crap. Running the TAT next month with it!
@@ApocalypseNouille that’s awesome, and thanks for the good advice. I’m almost afraid to go on the camel adv website … I love how crazy those guys are on their bikes, and their products look to be a guarantee for most issues etc and I know my wallet will instantly start to swell as I click “add to shopping cart” haha 😂
@@Adventure_Ready_Life Ah yes, definitely a lot of good stuff on their website, and oh boy do they test their product. The one finger clutch is nice too!
@@ApocalypseNouille yeah those guys ride the living hell out of their bikes, that was my crew and I maybe 6 plus years back on our gs 800’s but I’m down for some less torturous adventures riding and motocamping these days …
@@The_realArcher right on congratulations on the new ride! I just hit 1000 miles on mine, and getting ready to abuse my kids inheritance money shopping online for some bad ass aftermarket upgrades soon ….
@@Adventure_Ready_Life hahahaha this had me dying of laughter!!! I feel the same way my list is already above 2K hahaha and I’m just getting started 😅 just removed the baffle from the exhaust sounds so good!!!
That was a solid first impression video! Looking forward to some fresh Tenere 700 content. I’m a total Adventure Bike newbie so soaking up as much knowledge as I can get..
@@holdfast4588 I’m gonna try to break down as much detail as I can, and as many relatable scenarios as I can, I’ve bought several bikes that didn’t fit my desires over the years, and I think a lot of people still have this bike on their radar but maybe not 100% certain if it’s the one for them etc
@@AdventureTomek thanks I’m loving this thing so far! I do have that wish list of things I already think I need and an even longer list of stuff I probably don’t but will buy anyway! 😂
The T7 is my first real bike, and I thought I was being biased on how good this bike is, but it's nice to know someone with a lot of experience thinks nicely of the T7.
@@compsciyan yeah I’ve owned over 60 bikes, raced motocross up to intermediate level in SoCal back in the day, worked in the motorcycle industry for over 20 years owned the big and mid size adv bikes, rode them all places they were never intended to go and I will say off first impressions this T7 is one of my favorite platforms so far! I think it fits all levels of riding First bike in awhile that I really look forward to riding pretty much anywhere!
Hi! Great to hear you. Considere the Mivv Pipe and line. It works perfect for me. And fir the extra screen: Carpuride 7 inch, it just mirrors your phone and works fast and seamless. Im don’t have you long experience with bikes, but I have always some 2 wheels around me ;) last years coming from the great Africa twin to the perfect (for me) T7, great bike.
Right on, yeah i did get online last night and started letting my fingers click a small pile of aftermarket items that are shipping as we speak! haha it's easy to spend some extra dollars personalizing motorcycles in general. Im most likely going with a garmin zumo GPS, due to the fact that i'm not very skilled in phone use and downloading info ahead of time, i like to just type in a coordinate and have the lady in the gps yell at me every time i make a wrong turn! The tenere seems like a great and versatile platform, i'm excited to get mine set up the way that suits my riding style soon ....
Nice first ride review from an experienced rider..is there a way to get more hp/ torque out of the T7? I only speak Harley so they just need a cam upgrade basically..
@@oldhead_ I haven’t looked into everything that’s available for the Tenere 700 but my background is racing motocross so we always started with a pipe and gearing back in the day. Nowadays seems like more electronic options are available ECU flashes etc
@@HA_Horizons yeah there are not a lot of used ones out there. I was really surprised to find one this clean with only 390 original miles on it!! Good luck on your search, it’s an awesome bike, can’t wait to start accessorizing mine for some upcoming motocamping trips!
@@RandomParrot I’ve owned over 40 bike so far, and all though the power is a bit underwhelming in stock trim compared to other offerings out there the overall fit & finish, reliability, ease to ride, and generous aftermarket offerings make this my favorite out of the box purchase so far ….. Oh yeah remember wives always like surprises!! 😂
Great video! Thanks for sharing! I currently own a WR250R and a KTM 690 Duke, which I'm going to sell. Looking to step up in to a mid sized adventure bike, which could take place of my WR & Duke. What are your thoughts on the 690 Enduro R/Husky701 and the 890 ADV R? Cheers! 🍻🏍🇺🇸
@@therealtashiro I just sold my 2015 ktm 690 enduro r. That was one of my favorite bikes so far. I’ve changed my riding desires due to health issues suffering from neuropathy in my hands and feet, leading to numbness in my hands while riding at times, so all though I love the 690 for its ability to be ridden like a full on dirt bike off-road it was a lot to muscle around with my health issues, and although it can rip 100 plus mph down the Hwy between trails or to commute on, it was a bit more vibration then I desired once again due to my health issues. I sold the 690 knowing that I would directly replace it with the tenere which is much easier for me to enjoy off-road at a moderate speed and the tenere is much less to hold into cruising it en the Hwy with the mild parallel twin motor design. No health issues I would still have the 690 for sure, but the Tenere is a much more versatile platform for motocamping, slabbing a long distance etc in my experience thus far …
@@therealtashiro I took about a year off of riding, but now I’m back and just working with what I have health wise. We only live once and I feel the ones who rides the most win! 😂
