I'm buying a Tenere in the next couple of months. Couple of squirely moments there! Good shit. These videos get me even more excited. I drive past Prarie City OHV park on my way to work every day. I could easily hit it up on my way home from work whenever I want.
Cheers, I don't think you'd go far wrong with the Tenere, and awesome that you have the OHV park on your ride to work! I had a look at that OHV park online - place looks cool. Enjoy the T7 when you get it, it's lots of fun👍
I very nearly bought a 21 onwards 690 enduro, great bike. You get a bit more revs to play with on the twin cylinder, although a huge single cylinder thumper has its own charm.
A high exhaust will be good purchase if you plan on dropping it(if you don’t have a slip on already) word is the exhaust mount can damage the bike subframe in a right side down impact. Some kits will tuck it inside the frame mount(w/modification) & will alleviate that problem altogether. (Will also need to move the turn signals I think)
Thanks, I have heard this, it should really be a bolt on sub frame rather than all being one piece but it is not the end of the world. I don't really like the look of the high mount exhausts, if I go down hard I will try to do it on the left side😃
That's one way to run it in 😆. Interesting change of bike direction. I recently bought a new tracer 700 and it is a real pleasure exploring on it (finances didn't stretch to the CP3) As you say, so often one avoids back roads due to gravel/bumps etc. Do you still have the Tuono? Not sure where abouts you are but Salisbury plain is worth a visit.
Haha thanks, I have probably given this one a slightly harder break-in than some of my other bikes but it has been nice to just enjoy it, there's something oddly satisfying about taking a brand new bike down a muddy track, not sure that I could bring myself to do the same on something like a 20k multistrada v4 though... The Tracer 700 is a great bike, I rode one a few years back and thoroughly enjoyed it. I still have the Tuono, just fancied an adventure bike, I'd add a cruiser as well if I could😀...
The tft is standard fitment in Europe on the 23 models. I don't know why the USA spec 23 models still ship with the LCD, strange. I don't think the USA get the Tenere "World Raid" either.... hopefully Yamaha sort this out soon.
Not in terms of cushioning, it is still fairly firm. I think it is more about giving you a bit more leg room and a flatter profile for more control off-road👍
I don't think you'd go far wrong with the T7, it is very capable off road and it still manages to be engaging and practical on the road. It can feel a little tall and intimidating at first, if you are not used to tall adventure bikes, but most people get used to the height and weight pretty quick.
@@tankslapmoto9999 three weeks after I saw your video I've been doing research and now I want a t7 lol. Think I'm gonna get both (mt09 for road and t7 for off). Did you have any other brand/model in your head other than the tenere? I really don't wanna get a ktm/husq, but they are lighter... and I'm really concerned about weight as I've never offroaded on motorbike.
Mate, does the TFT vibrate / wobble and, or move whilst riding? I have heard the older LCD display does. Just wondering. My T7 arrives this month (fingers crossed). Great walk around, thanks for the video & stay safe.👍🏼
New Subscriber and owner of a 22’ T7 in Black 🥃 This bike is so perfect for me I feel like I just might get a second one 23’ in that new tint of Blue does look so good 🍻🍻
Hey, thanks for the sub, and glad that you are enjoying your T7, they are such fun bikes. A second blue one in the stable sounds like a great idea😃 I'd love to have one set up for the road and one for some serious offroad. Cheers👍
Pirelli are so good on the road , incredible grip and feeling but will never go muddy with them😅

if i didnt get myself a 21' ktm 690 enduro, i think i would have gotten one of these. they sound really good

Ich bin begeistert👏
Danke schön!

How did you get the tft? America still has the lcd display. I’m jealous

24 model will have tft dash in us. Ship next month? Oct
is the rally seat any comfier than the stock?

Got a versys 650, but thinking about trading in for the ofroad. Versys 650 good machine to
The Versys seems like a really good bike, I have never ridden one but I have heard good things👍
Can do everything good, the t7 can do the same plus real ofroad, and just like the looks of the t7 a lot

Thanks for the info, im 1,85 and love tal bikes. So yeah it maybe time like i said
The way you ride the bikes never disappoints mate. Did you sell the mt09?
Cheers mate, yeah I swapped out the MT09 for a Tuono V4 (which is a great bike) but I do kinda miss the MT09.

The TFT seems rock solid, I haven't noticed any wobble or vibration, cheers👍
