- Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid - KNOX review with Chris Moss
Yamaha has a new dual-purpose adventure bike, the Ténéré 700 World Raid. We went to ride it at its press launch in southern Spain on both on and off-road routes.
We then had the good fortune to get another one back in the UK, taking it for a quick 350-mile spin on more familiar roads.
As the trend for adventure bikes getting bigger, more powerful and complex marched on (as it still does), back in 2019, Yamaha chose to go down a different route with its Ténéré 700. With just 72bhp, and a simpler, relatively tech-light design, it was aimed at the adventurer who wanted to ride more off-road. It’s a niche segment of the class, but the bike still sold well. To further that off-road suitability even more, there’s a new version of the bike, the upgraded Ténéré 700 World Raid model.
With its upgraded suspension, a bigger fuel tank and a bit of extra bling, does the Tenere 700 live up to expectations, watch to find out!

Another great review Gents. Glad to see Moss back in the saddle.
Thanks!
Bilal is this bike even available in India?
Wot boots was he wearing ☹️glad he’s was ok after ❤️
I actually Love anything that Moss has to talk about in terms of that being on 2 wheels 😁
Moss is great. I first learned about him when he was testing the KTM 950SM and of course, his review was fantastic. A true motorcycle's rider's buddy...
Always good to listen to an experienced, mature rider talk about the important stuff.
I thought that Chris was very patient and controlled throughout. Would have been better with just him there though.
Best review of this bike I've seen. Real world feedback from real riders for other real world riders.
It’s hard to not hang on to every word Moss says. Brilliant reviewer
The Tenere 7 is top of the adventure bike list if I was in the market!
I think everyone is shocked that Yamaha of all companies didn't listen to its customers and give it a bolt on subframe and fix the exhaust hanger and even add cruise control
Great video can't wait to get one
Oh Mossy. I live in NZ and we have loads of twisty, steeply cambered gravel roads. Crossing the crest with a bit of pace on is dirty kecks at best. Yippee - hello scenery.
I ended up buying the blue one, but i completely agree with you guys: when you see the black one in person, its absolutely stunning
Absolutely brilliant review its good to see some honesty about the issues on the bikes for once that exhaust hanger is a lash up an it matters if it snaps off, also when it bends it can wreck the swing arm from what ive heard. Its a bike im really considering at the moment.
Gets a bit tiring of the bike companies not adressing issues my dad an i rejected 2x 390s riddled with issues an people are still having the same probs 2 years on
Would have been interesting to see the crash damage to the bike thats the reality when its dropped.
Always enjoy your videos!Chris can I ask what kind of boots did you wear at the day of the crash...because very similar injury happened to me on the same bike few weeks ago:)
great video. mossy is brilliant as always and a collab with knox cant go wrong, throw in that black machine and its a win
The XT660Z was also a bike that good take a crash well. Great to hear your views.
Thanks.Good bike.Exhaust hanger should have been sorted.
Sorry about the crash Moss. I use the Urbane MKII too. What boots did you have on? Your foot took a brunt of the fall!
Thank you for the📽 Video. Unfortunately as I wrote on his video. No commentaries on. The Windshield been small and not adjustable, Quick shift gear change , heated grips, Cruise control, the word you guys missed Plush front suspension. The factory seat. How good is it for the looong ride ? Does the 💰price really justify the buy ?
I’ve just crashed in similar fashion. My foot was ok as I was wearing full enduro boots but unfortunately I did my ACL. What boots was Mossy wearing to cause so much damage to foot?
Great review, always get a honest opinion from mossey.
As for the armoured shirt in question.is there adequate or any upcoming features which would help in the case of an accident on the inside crease of the elbow/forearm.whereby the arm has severed the main arteries, resulting in a stroke.
If in any way my unfortunate situation could help others in the future.
Id like to be of any help
Best regards and keep the Content coming 👍
Many thanks. The urbane pro shirt has fabrics that are approved for abrasion and tear resistance but the inside of the arm is normally a less of a priority due to movement and less injuries generally speaking in that area. On the ither hand the knox Honister which has approval to AAA is stronger in that area. Hope thay helps. Aaron Knox
Turkey is just as far from Scotland/ Cumbria as the Sierra Nevada, if you use the ferries, Portsmouth (or Cork) to NW Spain, Barcelona - Rome, Rome - Bari, Bari - Turkey, short hops,with big rests on the boats, what a holiday should be! Leave your bike in Spain, and fly home,on the return, nice warm winter storage, and Xmas transport for only €19/mth,Alicante area!
When will this be available in the USA?
My second Tenere 700, bought it last week, traded the previous one in.
Holding their price,given the original launch price
Wonder if North America will eventually get this bike too?
See this bike in the dealership yesterday & your right seeing in person I was blown away how imposing & looked bang on! Currently riding CB1000R but miss my yamaha tracer 7 would this bike be too big for me @ 5 foot 7?
Glad you think so. Mossy is 5'7" and thinks its tall but ultimately manageable... even with a broken foot ;)! Aaron KNOX

Thanks for reply good content 👌
how hard or soft is the seat?
I thought that was Johnny Vegas. Lol. 😂
Hi...where in Spain was your super good film about Yamaha filmed
Near Granada.
I must live under a stone. Never heard of KNOX. Great video. Is Knox British owned?
Haha, well now you know. Thanks, and yes Knox has been going since 1981 and we are based in the English Lake District. Thanks, Aaron KNOX
Did you bend the subframe and exhaust in the crash?
Aparently not! Thanks, Aaron KNOX
Haha every single 701 owner ego has put an aggressive front tire on knows exactly what you were talking about with the death wobble at high-speed ☠️. Dampener is a must !! Nice work Yamaha 👌
Haha, yes exactly, glad the point didn't fall on death ears! :) Aaron KNOX
Question to both of you, besides fixing the wobble, do you feel the steering damper is a good upgrade for the 701? Depends on use I guess, but I’ve never tried a steering damper before, but I’ve now ordered one to try it out and eventually make a video sharing my experience with one. Thanks!
@@JohannesDalen I think it is a must for the 701! Trust me the wobble is real and it occurs everytime like clockwork! Also worth while for offroad as you can set it to help with sandy tracks and deep ruts .
Thank you very much, helpful information. Will be interesting to see how it works out 🙂
"So it was up to a point"😉😉😉😉😉😉👍
yes, it was all a dream right up to the point where he crashed! :) Aaron KNOX
as much as i like the idea of a world raid with its 2 petrol tanks and ive sat on one in my local dealership almost ready to sign the paperwork this video has sold me on a crf450 instead because if on of them drops you are not as likely to smash all your bones up and need metal plates in your leg.
so thank you guys for the vid and sorry to yamaha, i do want a light tourer but this aint for me!
This or gs1250
After riding my f800gs, which weighs slightly less and has slightly more horsepower, I can tell you straight up that 73hp is not nearly enough. Tiger 900 and Africa Twin, albeit slightly heavier, are the superior commuters.
Stick to commuting then. I would not class a T7 as a class leading commuter. On tarmac.
As a 50/50 on/off road bike or something to ride to central Africa/Mongolia it would eat both bikes you mentioned for breakfast.
Off road?
I'd say 160 kgs and 50 bhp is damn near perfect, let alone 73.
Best you stick to tarmac boi.
Find it odd that people buy adventure bikes for commuting. Good thing with the Yamaha if you are doing this is engine reliability compared with the bmw
@@joe90h34 why? I'd like to know your point of view.
I believe they are:
Comfortable, lots of lugagge options, good weather protection, good power, decent fuel comsuption, tall > good view ahead. Mirrors typically higher than car mirrors > filtering
I believe adv bikes are actually perfect commuters.
Mossy is brilliant. I"m pretty sure that the other bloke was baked. Or maybe he's just a bit dull-witted.
The interviewer needs to learn to allow the guest to talk without being spoken over. So annoying and rather disrespectful
Right? He was awful.
