I got the T7 in April. Still riding with a big smile on my fat face. Best bike I ever had. I am going to Corsica, Italy and Schwitzland in July, and I cant wait. Congrats with your bike, buddy.
Great choice of bike . It will take you anywhere you want to go and more . Your enthusiasm is infectious , " Oh Galore ! " (I've learned a new expression ). Have fun . Travel far .
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🎉 Those expressions came about because I was trying to avoid saying "oh my god" and "oh Lord" and it just morphed into some new language hehe 😁
Very nice simple and straight way to explain things. I likes. Especially your last video in which you gave a brief experience about the bikes you have ridden before to buy tenere. I think that is the right way to make a decision.
I thought I was set to buy the World Raid but your previous video got me thinking. Anyway, great video, I could feel your nerves, your anxiety and your joy. Take it easy and you have a bike for life with the Tenere. Looking forward to sharing your journey!
Thank you. Really enjoyed this and the 5 bike comparison video. You have a great style, allowing your feelings to shine. That sort of authenticity is really engaging, love it. I'm on a BMW G650GS Sertao, it's a great all rounder too but I'm looking for a little more power on the highways. This was really helpful for my search. Cheers 👊
That's awesome, Matt!! 👍🙏😊 Thank you for letting me know. 🙏🏍️ Yeah the CP2 engine has more than enough power (in my humble opinion) on the highway. I can reach more than the speed limit without stressing the engine at all. Like, 4-5k revs. Worth a look, for your needs 👍
14:57 For a moment I thought you were going to test the Tenere on those rollers! Love how excited you are about the new bike, I'm looking forward to more videos and you sharing this journey with us. 😄
I was riding my Tenere for 2 weeks in Norway back in 2022 and found it a perfect fit for Norwegian roads. So good choice and beautiful country you live by the way.
@@TalkTheRide No, I broke my collarbone just a few weeks before this trip and driving my bike to Norway was probably not the best thing to do 😀 Got a surgery later, and hope to return one day to actually ride the TET in Norway.
I just realized I don't have the Seat Concept seat at all. It's the Tourtec Comfort Seat High XL ..... Wow, I'm such a doofus 🙄 I got mixed up when I ordered 😂
I'm late to the party, 🎉 found your second video. Looks like you're enjoying the Tenerie... You've given me the confidence to buy the bike I wanted so badly.. I have a Yamaha tracer 700, love it won't part with it.. but I've carved the mt07... So obviously even though the same engine, they ride different as displayed by your video.. Thank you for that. Great honest content, love your style 😅 🎉🎉
Thank you for the kind words, Martine! 🙏👍😊 Yes, the difference between the various CP2 bikes is very noticeable. You should also try the MT09 😁🏍️🎉 What a rocket ship!
Congratulations :) I really liked how happy you seemed the whole ride. I have an XSR700 too, and i am looking for a new bike on the same reasons you talked about on you TestRide Video. I think it will be a Tenere too. Enjoy it and ride safe, greetings from germany :)
Thank you! Yes, the Tenere is a better fit for a taller guy. It feels very robust and solid to ride 👍🏍️ If you can, try the different versions. There is a difference 👍
nice to see I'm not the only one who gets excited about their new bike i got a street triple rs and I'm still grinning, not as comfortable as yours but its not that bad hope you enjoy your bike enjoying the channel
Congrats on the new ride, T7 is a great choice, got me one too.. yes their are lots out there to choose from, but if you enjoy it, that's good enough. Take it and run with it 👍🏻 Your Norwegian accent cracks me up 😊 I mean that I'm a good way.. sounds like Your from Oslo via Nashville Tennessee .. Great Video, subscribed!
First of all i want to congratulate you for your new machine and wish you all the luck with it. That is a fantastic bike wich, by the way, I have been studying because i find it beautiful and interesting. Mine is a Yamaha yzf 600 thundercat from the past century 😂, 1998. I love the landscapes from Norway! I also share with you an RUclips channel where traveling around the world is made by a rider on a Tenere mostly. GOT2GO Cheers!
I remember those thunder cars well. I raced one on my suzuki gs500e the guy really messed up and lifted the front and almost flipped. Getting away on the 500 flat out was so easy. The tdm850 was a really underrated bike back then much better than the yzf600 on normal roads. Trx850 fazer 600 hornet 600 kawasaki KLX650 KLE 500 honda NX650 Dominator XLV600 transalp. Miss all these bikes such a huge choice back then.
@TalkTheRide I'm on an mt09sp gen three 2022 model I love it. But like yourself I'm 6ft 4 so I coukd do with extra leg space. I do like the extreme after sitting on it at the bike show too. It fits my leg length too where as I'm a bit cramped on the mt09.
Wow 6'4 on an MT09!! I'm just 6'1 and felt like I completely dwarfed that machine 😁 but it was damn good fun, for a few minutes. I'd totally try the T7x if I were you. In the first 4 gears it's got more than enough power, didn't feel all that different to the mt09 👍
@TalkTheRide well funny you should say that as I went to the yamaha open day this weekend to test the new models and none ofcthe dealers had the T700 as it hasn't come in to stores as yet. Bit miffed off I doddnt get to try it out but I did try the new mt09 though but that's nit that much different to mine if im honest. But god knows when the extreame will come in to stores over here for us to see. Some on the forums are only just receiving their bikes they pre ordered months ago.
It's the most balanced bike to ride. It gets better as you break it in. I love the exhaust pops as well. So fast so lean on the curves. Its a safe bike to ride.
@@TalkTheRide Yes, and I do recommend the full synthetic for it. And yes its the engine. That 5k on most bikes usually provides a bit more power with the greater and final break in. 0-60 is ungodly fast.
Congrats and welcome to the Adventure Bike life! I personally have a KTM 790 Adventure, I'm 6ft 4in tall and I love it. These parallel twins have great torque down low, they are much happier in the lower revs. You should be able to ride around in 6th gear with no issues, save fuel and it will keep you from hitting 5-6k rpm. Have fun and keep the shinny side up.
Glad You are enjoying it. Once She's broken in You can use All of the revs for braking. I am finding this out on my Tracer 7 GT. Coming down from a Fazer 1000. Liking Your videos to see how You are getting on. Enjoy Your New Bike. She looks Great 👍
Congrats on the new bike! Those are some beautiful roads out in Norway! The Optimate ready thing is just an SAE connector to attach a battery charger. Seat options could be either the Corbin touring saddle or Seat Concepts Comfort. Once you break it in, keeping the revs higher also lets the traction control function better as well! If it says 0kph, does that mean the odometer doesn't go up too? Go on a huge road trip and then sell your low km bike! XD
Thank you! I'm loving life as a T7 dude 😎🌞😄 I'm looking at that Seat Concepts comfort seat, may pull the trigger 👍 As for the odometer, yes it did show zero. There are some opportunities there, for the right kind of , ahem, go getter 😄 (and I'll remove the optimale tag, then 😁)
Just subscribed. You are doing what I plan on doing. I am a XSR owner and if things go right, will be moving up to the t7. I have one complaint. I liked your old jacket. I wear the red plaid myself. Enjoy your new bike and I look forward to your adventures.
Thank you, Robbie! The XSR700-to-T7-pipeline is becoming a thing! Look at us! 😁 Oh and the red flannel is lurking off stage, ready to make a comeback on those extra hot days ♥️
Congrats for joining the tenere extreme club, you will enjoy it. 15 000 km on mine in 5 months ownership, i love it so much even if it is the less powerful bike i ever owned. The speedo staying at 0 is because these idiots puted the wheel in the wrong way (there is a side for the abs sensor). The cp2 engine can be used with very low rpm, i don’t know why you are always so high in rpm 😅 i understand you like to use the engine break but it’s a twin not a 4 cylinder, plus in the corners you will not turn smooth. I can definitely see a beginner rider, just practice it will come.
Are they near enough the same price but with one you get a 900cc and a extra cylinder. That was the problem with the R7 for the same money you could get a mt-09
@@chrishart8548 yes, but its not that simple. tenere and mt09 are totally different bikes, With mt09 you get beast of a motor, a real terrier i would say. with Tenere you get more sophisticated, adultlike bike. yes lower power, but higher usability. CP2 server the purpose of tenere perfectly. comparing mt09 with R7, R7 is a toy. XD no one wants to drive one in city bcs of the ergos, the only good use is in track. and in track, CP3 is way more fun no matter what kinda rider ergo bikes got. CP2 serves well certain bikes, Imo R7 is not one of those.
You are probably going wide because you haven’t adjusted the rear preload for your weight. The SAG is exaggerated on a long travel suspension bikes and it’s going to be at the rear. The bike is likely choppered out a little slowing down the steering. Add 5-10 clicks on the rear.
Thank you, Steve! 🙏👍 I'm enjoying the height a lot mist of the time. Feels good , tall and strong. The trade off is on windy days I do feel the wind grabbing. And I have to be a bit more mindful how I park 👍 worth it!
well first you pick bike with your eyes... then want to accelerate fast but end with something comfy that don't wanna kill you or not provoking you. good choice, midweight 600-800cc ADV bikes very cool and can be used everywhere :) i think i will change to Triumph Tiger 800 (now on trident 660 :) .. ) ride and enjoy! definitely make longer trips!
Herlig video! Det er bare så behagelig å høre all gleden i stemmen din når du kjører! Koser meg med disse lengre videoene hvor du bare koser deg og prater! Grwtulerer med ny sykkel! Si ifra hvis du er rundt Oslo området en dag så kan vi kjøre en tur😁🫶🏻

Thank you, Roger! 🙏🎉😊Extreme has better suspension and foot pegs, more ground clearance and higher and narrower seat. And a snazzy new TFT display 👍 If you're over 6 feet tall I say try it out 🎉🔥🏍️
Nice bike! Have been riding a standard T7 for almost 4 years now. I’m yet to find the bike that will replace it. Very comfortable, even on long distances. The KYB suspension on the extreme tempts me but tbe added height of the bike might be a problem. How tall are you?
Hi Jørgen, I'm 6'1 (1.85m), more legs than torso 😁 It's a bit on the tall end, sure. I might get a more comfy seat and that might drop the height a few cm 👍🏍️🎉
Lykke til med ny motorsykkel. Morsomt å se kjente veier i nærområdet hvor jeg også har kjørt noen ganger. Men aldri kjørt veien mellom Hvarnes og over mot Nes og Høyjord
I’m shouting at this video saying “change gear, change gear, CHANGE GEAR!” You’re holding onto the gears for too long at too high revs. I can’t believe you got so far down the road before realising your front wheel was back to front. Who did the PDI?
I have to say it hurts a little when I see you break in your bike. I'm not sure if you've understood the information correctly? Revving up to 5-6000 rpm doesn't mean you should ride around at 5000 rpm all the time. When do you want to use 5th and 6th gear? At 100 you can drive in 6th gear. It is important to create different load conditions, you should not drive at a constant speed. Drive at lower revs, then again at slightly higher revs. Initially, don't rev above 6000 rpm and then slowly increase the maximum revs.
Come on, bro 😁 I'm not riding at constant revs, I just limit myself when I'm about to go over 5-6k. Most of my break in miles are on the highway, 6th gear. It's just boring to watch so I leave it out of the videos.
Abs sensor sitting crooked 😂. What they mean is they put the front wheel on the wrong way around 😂😂😂😂. Not the first and not the last. Dealer PDI’s are a waste of time
I like this channel, Norway looks beautiful with fantastic road, I to am not into specs so much although the are important but really the ride is what its all about. 👍

Thank you, Steve! 🙏👍 I'm enjoying the height a lot mist of the time. Feels good , tall and strong. The trade off is on windy days I do feel the wind grabbing. And I have to be a bit more mindful how I park 👍 worth it!
well first you pick bike with your eyes... then want to accelerate fast but end with something comfy that don't wanna kill you or not provoking you. good choice, midweight 600-800cc ADV bikes very cool and can be used everywhere :) i think i will change to Triumph Tiger 800 (now on trident 660 :) .. ) ride and enjoy! definitely make longer trips!
💯 spot on! 😁 And I hear good things about the Tiger.
Nice the extreme is so cool :D
Yes it's a beast 🔥👍🎉😊
IT will be a good bike, 21 inch front tyres don't turn in on corners as easy as the smaller road bike tyres.
Yes, that's what I felt 👍 It wants to straighten itself out more. No problem, I'll get used to it 😁
yeeeeees, way to go brother
Thank you, mister! 🙏🔥😊🎉
Herlig video! Det er bare så behagelig å høre all gleden i stemmen din når du kjører! Koser meg med disse lengre videoene hvor du bare koser deg og prater! Grwtulerer med ny sykkel! Si ifra hvis du er rundt Oslo området en dag så kan vi kjøre en tur😁🫶🏻
Takk for hyggelig feedback! Alltid gøy når du melder, fordi jeg er stor fan av det du lager 👍🎉🏍️ Når jeg er ferdig med break in perioden og 1k service da tar vi en tur 👍
cant go wrong with a T7...................i would recommend a front fender extender, keeps the engine a lot cleaner when WET
A longer Pelican beak? Sign me up! 😁

Oh I see, it's the "inner fender" that is extended. Does it help a lot for the engine?
@@TalkTheRide YES !!!!!!
👍 nice
What's the difference between the extreme and the regular version? Love your channel! Greetings from Beantown!
Thank you, Roger! 🙏🎉😊Extreme has better suspension and foot pegs, more ground clearance and higher and narrower seat. And a snazzy new TFT display 👍 If you're over 6 feet tall I say try it out 🎉🔥🏍️
@@TalkTheRideperfect, thank you !
Nice bike! Have been riding a standard T7 for almost 4 years now. I’m yet to find the bike that will replace it. Very comfortable, even on long distances. The KYB suspension on the extreme tempts me but tbe added height of the bike might be a problem. How tall are you?
Hi Jørgen, I'm 6'1 (1.85m), more legs than torso 😁 It's a bit on the tall end, sure. I might get a more comfy seat and that might drop the height a few cm 👍🏍️🎉
Lykke til med ny motorsykkel. Morsomt å se kjente veier i nærområdet hvor jeg også har kjørt noen ganger. Men aldri kjørt veien mellom Hvarnes og over mot Nes og Høyjord
Takk for det! Ja den hvarnes-nes er ganske fin. Kan ikke kjøre så fort der, kanskje, men mye svinger og natur 👍🏍️
Great video, it's not a Hog, a Harley is a Hog.
@@jeffslade8621 thank you! Glad you liked it🙏👍 And duly noted 😁
@@TalkTheRide Hog means - Harley Owners Group.
I’m shouting at this video saying “change gear, change gear, CHANGE GEAR!” You’re holding onto the gears for too long at too high revs. I can’t believe you got so far down the road before realising your front wheel was back to front. Who did the PDI?
I like revving it a little, the throttle is so much more responsive in that higher power band 👍. It's a Yamaha, it can take it 😄
I have to say it hurts a little when I see you break in your bike.
I'm not sure if you've understood the information correctly?
Revving up to 5-6000 rpm doesn't mean you should ride around at 5000 rpm all the time.
When do you want to use 5th and 6th gear?
At 100 you can drive in 6th gear.
It is important to create different load conditions, you should not drive at a constant speed.
Drive at lower revs, then again at slightly higher revs.
Initially, don't rev above 6000 rpm and then slowly increase the maximum revs.
Come on, bro 😁 I'm not riding at constant revs, I just limit myself when I'm about to go over 5-6k. Most of my break in miles are on the highway, 6th gear. It's just boring to watch so I leave it out of the videos.
@@TalkTheRide
Well, then I'm reassured.
I just don't want anything to happen to your beautiful bike. 🙂
Well that's great 👍😃 Me too! 😁🎉
Gratulerer
Takk for det, du! 🙏🎉🏍️
Fikk du endra på gripepunktet? Enkelt å justere :)
Å? Det må jeg sjekke ut. Men liker egentlig at det er litt "kort", skal prøve å venne meg til det 👍🏍️
@@TalkTheRide Whatever floats your boat man. Bare er raskt youtube search så ser du hvordan du gjør det. Bare ei skrue ved spaken der 👍
Nice, skal sjekke det ut 👍 Takk for tipset 🙏
@@TalkTheRide null stress
Abs sensor sitting crooked 😂. What they mean is they put the front wheel on the wrong way around 😂😂😂😂. Not the first and not the last. Dealer PDI’s are a waste of time
Aha! 😁 Yeah they do work rather fast on these assemblies, I am told 😄
Good choice - pas på dig selv derude.
Takk for det! Jeg skal ta det med ro 👍🎉🏍️
Now that you're an influencer, I'm going to follow you.😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Thank you! 🙏😊👍
I also immediately came to Norway. maybe I'll see you riding.
Maybe! I hope I don't scare your horse 🐴😁
@@TalkTheRide I have two motorcycles, so they are used to something.
Oh Galore ❤
Hehe I should explain those expressions in the next video 😁
@@TalkTheRidelove your channel 👍👍👍👍 . Ride safe bro!
Thank you! Will do! 🙏🎉🏍️🔥
very good bike...if you have an iron butt and if you are 1.90...
I got a new seat, helps a lot. Height wise, I'd say 1.80 and up 👍
Maybe team up with @OffSheGoesADV someday :)
Sign me up! She's awesome 👍
That's not a beak, it's just a high mudguard
Look with your inner child 😁
I'm one minute in and this guy already annoys me.
A minute is a long time in this day and age
I like this channel, Norway looks beautiful with fantastic road, I to am not into specs so much
although the are important but really the ride is what its all about. 👍
Thank you very much! Glad you like the videos 👍 I have big plans for next season 👍🙏🎉
