What a fantastic review, one of the best reviews I’ve ever watched. Cheers
Glad you liked it, I put in a lot of effort and tried to be informative.
Man, they thought of everything on this ADv design without going overboard, very well equipped as tested. Great Review David!
Thanks!
Hi Juan, didn't know you were a biker. I'm no pilot, but I follow religiously your incident reports, what happen in 3D can easily have conclusions drawn upon and applied to 2D for good effect. It makes me a better rider. Thank you.
The best video about the new Tenere! Thank you! You cleared up some of my questions and provided a very in-depth analysis of your life with it.
Sounds like Yamaha hit a home run with this bike.
@@Bouldertag It's also waaaaay cheaper than the ktm, and I will take the yamaha reliability over ktm any day. I don't care about ridiculous power. I'm not racing. Good grunt down low and easily exceeding highway speeds with a proven engine = a big win.
The bike is fine. From what I have watched, many are liking this, especially with the bang for the buck it provides.
@@Bouldertag The 790 is like $2.5-3.5k more than the t7. So yes. I could spend $2k and still save ~$1k compared to the ktm....not including maintenance.
"Ok you did not read" (to quote you, except that I did)...that I'm not going to be racing the bike... If I want to go that fast off road, I'll get a dedicated dirt bike. I would need zero suspension mods. At minimum $2k saved over the ktm.
I understand.. For me I am fustrated and wanted more form Yamaha. It is still a great bike. Thanks for your opinions and will consider it on my decisions.
@@Bouldertag Personally, I prefer the smaller duel sports. But something a bit larger might be a bit better for cross country, IMO (maybe some day).
I loved this engine in my FZ-07. Wish the rest of the bike was as good as the engine. This Tenere 700 may be the answer. Hopefully there are some wide comfortable seats out there for it when it comes to the states.
I am in love with Tenere 700. I watch every review I can find and I think this is the best. Thank you for making this video.
It took a lot of effort but I'm happy. You will see a number of riders who already have the bike say my review is close to their experience. Please note that I have started a series called 'All Things Tenere 700' that will go into far more detail on a range of topics. The Air Filter episode is already out.
Great review--agree with your assessment on re-springing. Thank you for taking time to put this together. I'm excited to see this in North America soon!
To get the best enjoyment from this bike you should get the correct spring for your weight.
Yer great review fella, the most thorough i've watched for this bike. well done.
Best review ever. Now I want this bike! I never watch half an hour reviews all the way but yours was an exception. Thanks a lot. Ride safely everyone.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Dave, been waiting for this! I'm a little taller and heavier than you, so will remember your advice about the correct spring for weight! Cheers for this vid and the maintenance ones to come!
This is the best Tenere review I've seen so far, outstanding job. I will be checking this channel for more great videos and also suggest it to my friends.
Thank you. There are stacks of adventure films and reviews on this channel as well as a series of spectacular Chris Birch extreme videos.
This is the best review I've watched so far. I'd be looking forward for you, Nugget, and the others take these bikes for another adventure!
thank you don''t worry we will be
Excellent and thorough review. Best looking T7 I've seen so far, all black suits it well.
Great review, and superb riding skills!
I think Yamaha really did a great job with this bike, people waited for this type of bike for a long time. Ticks almost all of the boxes in my case.
Greetings from Croatia!
Hay C R O A T I A, what a magnificent country you come from!
Great review. I think I’ll be getting one when they get to the US
Fantastic review,I’ve watched it several times now while patiently waiting for the dealer to call me and tell me it’s arrived!Thank you!
Fingers crossed!
The best review out there for this bike. Excellent!
Great review! Appreciate the thoroughness of topics and especially loved all the action footage. Great riding and camera work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your time on this video! Very well done, I have been on the fence between the KTM 1190 and the T7, well....I am really wanting the T7 now......they need to come out in the States! In a post Covid and riot world I need a 2 wheel escape! :-)
Nice review mate, I am keen to go and test ride one of these, all I can say is one day I might be aloud to get one.
The best review of this machine that I've ever seen. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for a great well organized review MAD! Very helpful.
Great review . Will look into that rear spring as we are about the same weight . Can't wait until the Tenere 700 comes out in June here in Northern California . Unfortunately there aren't as many places to ride offroad near my house so I would have to travel 100 miles or more for any real adventure , eventhough there's trails everywhere in the hills where I live none are motorcycle friendly . Look forward to the next video .
Ive watched most of the reviews on the Tenere 7 and this David, is by far the best one yet
Thank you. I try to do thorough reviews. There are lots on this channel.
This bike is neither available in my country nor could I afford it if it came here and I cannot sit through videos longer than 10 minutes. However, your video kept my attention throughout even though it is late and I really must go to sleep. Your review is comprehensive and well presented. Thank you for your hard work!
Excellent review. One of the best i've ever seen.
Thank you
You provided excellent coverage of the appropriate suspension and spring configuring.
Nice review! So happy to see riders actually pushing the bike offroad...So looking fwd to the T700 arriving here in the U.S.A..All you guys and gals riding this beautiful new bike enjoy your adventures..Thanks again for you insights and honest review..
Really looking forward to the USA getting it. That was one of the reasons I made the review so thorough, particulalry the accessories section.
excellent review. One of the best adventure bike reviews I have seen.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks a lot for the detailed review and the action shots. That helps me a lot to get a good idea of what the bike can do. Drive safe mate greetings from Germany
Glad it was helpful!
Great review. Appreciate the heavier spring information. As a Newbee Tenere 700 Owner, your video is very informative. I'm enjoying the T7 experience so far, it's a fantastic motorcycle. 👍😁
Hi Robert, not sure what you weigh but to get the best out of this bike I strongly recommend going to a reputable suspension specialist and get them to measure the sag (I'll leave it simple) when you loaded and ready to go on an adventure and then obtain the correct spring weight. Getting the suspension tuned for what you want to do is the best money you can spend. For spring replacement it won't be much, more work can go to $1000 AU
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV- My sizing is very similar (5' 10" or 178 cm/95 kgs). I've had my suspension updated last year on my KLX400 (DRZ400) and it made a huge difference. So, I reckon the heavier spring for the T7 will be something I definitely get done. Thanks for the advice, muchly appreciated. 👍😁
The best review so far I found on Youtbube for the Tenere. Every thing mentioned makes sense. I will get my bike this Friday the 29.07.2022 🙂
A great bike.
As I continue to watch this great video, time after time, I am more and more convinced that this could very well be my choice of a bike. Your review maes so much sense to me, as you emphasize the right things in a bike, simplicity and reliability and I think I could manage the excess weight over a 701 OR 690 and for 3.000 euros less, it makes so much sense.
Glad it was helpful!
Looks like it was worth the wait. Great review there Dave 👍
Well done Dave, that was one of the best reviews I have seen. I"ll have to ask Craig if he has watched it.
Thanks Kev. I tried to ride with Craig the other day.
Thank you for the excellent review! This bike is a must have for me and its awesome that someone like you can put it through the paces and give it a good review. You and I are nearly the same height and weight and its great to know that I won't need to change the suspension much. Just the rear spring will most likely do as you indicated. The T7 is due to be released here in the USA sometime this upcoming summer and I'm really looking forward to it!
I think it's going to become an iconic bike. It certainly reinvigorates the Tenere name. In a way you're lucky you never got the old XTZ660, that was a dog in comparison to this beauty :)
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV
I really wanted the 660 and I sent two letters to Yamaha urging them to import the bike to no avail, of course. After seeing your comment, I'm glad that it didn't happen.
Very nice bike, great review. Out of my price range though, I’ll keep riding my trusty KLR650 😀👍
Great review, and great to hear your thumbs up for the T7....I've just parted with my beloved XT660Z to get the new Tenere 700 and hope it's going to be a worthy successor!! Looking forward to seeing more films. Cheers, Steve
Steve, just ensure you get the rear spring for your weight.
Excellent Review ! Very well put together - Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
What a great honest. Detailed review, wish I could ride a bike like that. Well done, love the bike will need to test one 👍
Thanks! 👍 I still have it. I now has brilliant suspension.
Nice Review. This looks like a nice bike. Keep up the good work.
By far the best channel when it comes to adventure ridding. pretty cool how you answer to comments when people have questions and doubts.
Btw after watching your channel non stop i decided to go with the DR650 but i saw both on dealer and just had to go with the Tenere. :D picking it up this friday
Tenere is a great bike, just get the suspension sorted for your weight and riding style. Lovely riding long adventures on it, or just cruising around.
That's a review!! Thank you very very much!! Professionaly Done!!!
Thank you. I put a lot of effort into it. But there will be a heap more information about the bike on my series, "All Things Tenere 700" the first episode is out on the channel and discusses air filters in depth.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV Thanks but where can I watch the first episode? I'm waiting for my T7 here in Québec, Canada!! Man i'm so happy of your review!!
@@savardr6 At the end of this video is a T700 playlist click that.
Nice Review. Really waited for this bike so long, I ended up getting a Husky 501. However, I want something that can do longer trips and some light 2 up duty. The only essential electronic gizmo I wish it had was optional cruise control which is why the KTM 790 looks attractive. Overall I've always been happy with Yamaha and currently have an XT250 which gets ridden more than the Husky. Cannot wait to try one this Spring once the snow is melted here in Wisconsin. Cheers!
Yeah ride one and tell us if my review relfected your experience. Good luck with that snow. It's over 40 degrees c here today.
Love the reviews dave... be picking up my t7 in a month ..
I/m confident you'll love it but get that rear spring for your weight.
Beautiful blue bike! Great review.Thanks, I'm sold!
Well done Dave. Been waiting for this. Cant wait to see one.
Thanks Alex.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV , one more question, would you compare the T7 to the KTM 790 Adventure?
Would absolutely love one of these... one day !! My budgets in the second hand wr250r category.
#metoo Feeling the pain...... 😒
I'm in the same boat.. I questioning the versys x300. Hmm
Great review. Thanks a lot. Just made my mind up after thinking for long time about KTM 790 Adventure R (too much electronics and high price) and Africa Twin (too heavy and costy). Great stuff.
There are some great bikes out there at present, a very competitive market and great variety for the discerning motorcycle adventurer.
I like that the headlight looks like a smiling robot
Great Review. I ordered a T7 over the weekend and hope to get it in January 2022.
A lovely bike
Great review, tons of practical info. I have an MT07 and love it, brilliant little engine, great performance etc, and it sounds from your review that Yamaha successfully transfered all of that across to the T700 :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes they were very successful in the transfer of that engine to adventure.
Loved this review. Logical, explicit and organized. "What more do ya want?" I've been very impressed with another bike that's just going into production, the Husqvarna Norden 901. And it's been years, no decades, since I was very active on a Bultaco Pursang and others of that era. But the old Yamaha DT250 was the standout in terms of reliability, as I recall, thus another Yamaha all these years hence is the competitor to the Huskey. So, thanks for this comprehensive presentation and may all your rides be joyful there in the Down Under.
I used to ride a Bultaco Frontera, Blue and Yellow tank with integrated tool box. A wonderful bike except for the 40 mm Bing carby that had a mind of its own in the heat. :)
Sounds familiar. My roommate, a bike mechanic, back then in college (late sixties) had the Frontera. We'd trade out with others who had an Ossa Stiletto, a CZ, Hodaka Super Rat and Penton 6 Days Trials bike. Seems like each make had its own Achilles heel, so yes, it was good to have a mechanic in the ride group. The Husqvarna (KTM really) is the only old make still around.
@@richardcheatham9490 We are both showing our age all those bikes were around when I was growing up.
True that! But fortunately we don't outgrow our adventurous spirit.
Great review as always Dave
Thank you. Iti took a while to do. What I've missed I'll cover in the series 'All things Tenere 700' but that will go into things in far greater depth.
Wow what a review, just perfect.
Mate this video is just phenomenal!
Thanks for the upload and all informations
My pleasure!
Great review, spot on with what i would like to know on all your bike reviews.
Well done.
I hope you have a review on the SWM 600 superdual X soon as i would like to hear your opinion on them.
Not many dealers have demos so a review by your channel would be great.
Tossing up between bmw gs 850 adventure, tenere 700, ktm 790 ,SWM super dual X.
Thanks for the great review and look forward to more videos.
Just found your page on facebook as well awesome.
Thanks.
The most complete review I have seen so dar.
I put a lot of effort into it.
Planning on, finally, getting my license as a slightly older rider. Seriously considering this bike. I was looking at some others like the Versys 300x to start, or the KLR 650, but this one is so good :) Keep up the great work. I've been binge watching since I discovered it a few days ago :D
Go for it!
Just what I wanted to hear. Cheers mate!
Glad I could help!
Love the T7..... my next purchase!!
Even though I have no plans to buy any motorcycle (neither have I ever), I enjoyed and appreciate the thoroughness of this review for some reason
Glad you enjoyed it! I put a lot of effort into it.
Best review I've seen!! Thank you👍
Glad it was helpful!
Great Review Dave I went had had a look at one of these bikes today I think it will be my next bike.
Good choice! Value for money and fun. Just get the correct spring for your weight.
Very good review! From your ride, it appears to handle like a dirt bike rather than a street bike with off-road tires! Thanks for this honest, factual review. Certainly a ride to consider! Ride safe my friend.
Thanks for watching!
Very thorough and helpful review! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great review of the bike you buy off the show room floor. There are too many reviews of this new bike after modifications had been made. This is the 5th review of this bike I've watched and by far the best. I'm hoping they don't "Americanize" this bike too much for us Yankees. Nice job mate! Now put another shrimp on the Bobby!
Glad you liked it! Yes my bike is the Touring Version off the show room floor.
Beautiful riding, beautiful Landscape, Great bike, great review. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Great review. I am in the market and this will definitely be on my list. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Totally agree with the criteria . Good show mate .
Thank you
top review so far!! thanks
Much appreciated!
Great review, thank you!
As a bike review junkie, I’d say this is excellent stuff! And the bike looks good too . . .
Great review, thank you 🙏
Thanks to you and Clubby* I have decided to pick up a Tenere 700, if you're ever on the East Coast of Canada drop by! Cheers and keep up the Great Tenere Content!
Deal! More to come in the comng months.
GREAAAT review. thanks so much!!!!
Fantastic review! I’m looking for an adventure bike & this IS on the radar! I’m nowhere near as proficient as yourself off road but this seems ideal for a little off road I’d do. I’m 5’11” & 92kg so the normal setup is more than likely to be spot on! Great vid!👍🏻😎
I'm 178cm 5ft 10.5 inches so it would be spot on. I think this is a very generous bike for someone entering into the sport of adventure riding.
great vid - you've made my decision to put this beauty to the garage next to my mt10 a little easier :D I want to use it primarily for metal detecting expeditions.
Iv just Brought mine . Its mint . Great review 👏
Great review, can’t wait for them to land here in the states 👍✊️👊✊️👊
Yeah go for a test ride and see how my review stacks up against your experience, not what you read on the internet.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV I'm planning to put a deposit on one before they get here. I've been waiting for this bike ever since I saw it four years ago. It will be added to my WR250R.
BEAUTIFUL BIKE, GREAT REVIEW, UK
Excellent review David, it looks a cracking bike
Many thanks!
Nice review, as usual. Definitely one to consider.
You should!
Just bought one T7 3 days ago.... i m not even sleeping well..i want to ride it so much..😂...but need 1 week until she arrives at my place!! My first option was the bmw gs... but for all i have seen from 2023 yamaha model...it s a very good bike and have some diferences in equipment from past years... i live in 1 island with alot dirt roads and have the capacity to put the bike in a ship and ride in other islands! Let s hope all goes well ! Keep the good work on these reviews!!!!👍🏻😜🇵🇹
I’d have to say......THE best bike review I’ve seen, excellent, thank you. Can you do a review on the Moto Guzzie V85 please ASAP. Ta.
thank you
Great review and love your channel. Put a deposit down today on one and need to get rid of my 2020 Africa twin.I love it but too big to do the tight stuff and ride it like the guy in the video, great skills!!
Glad you liked the review, more to come on the bike shortly.
Great review mad man , I met you a few years ago you were on a Triumph Explorer me and a m8 were on DR 650s and we had to drag mine up back on the track , hahaha what a day, awesome work hope tp catch up one day Buz 👍👏👏
Yep remember that. Very lucky we were all there to get that bike out on Settlers Trail
Thanks mate, fantastic information!
Thanks for giving me the taste for the T700 !
Regards from 🇧🇷
No problem 👍 Anytime. More to come on the Tenere 700 in the weeks to come.
I am riding a KTM 690 enduro r, and KTM in general for the last 20 Years, and you just made want me a Tenere. For the sake of the features you mentioned at the very beginning of your video. It reminded me of the KTM 640 Adventure.
And of course, because Yamaha just got it wright again. Thx
I too have a KTM690 in the garage and before that I had a KTM640 Adventure that I sold to my mate Mal and you can see it on this channel in the desert. I'd have to agree. The only thing I don't think Yamaha nailed was the fuel range that would have been useful for outback Australia. You need a solid 450 ks. But I thinkin the T700 will be saved by after market products. Mind you, I don't need that huge range very often.
Great review! Im really thinking about buying this machine.
You should!
G'day!
Bonza video mate!
Thanks!
Excellent review. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
The best review I have seen about this bike. Thank you! I am planing a trip through Central and South America and the Ténéré 700 is one of the bikes I am considering fir my trip. It’s simple to operate with no fancy electronics. Perfect for traveling through third world countries. The electronics on the 1250GS and Africa Twin are nice, but if it breaks down in the middle of no where or some small down in the boonies, good luck finding a mechanic with the know how, skills, and specialized equipment to fix it.
My biggest concern about this bike is the idiotic small tank it has. 4.2 gals might be great for a dirt bike, but not to do long adventure touring. In some places in the world you can fo on for hours and hours not seeing a gas station anywhere. Yes you can carry an extra tank, like in the video, but that tank is taking space that other important gear could use better.
I get that Yamaha wanted to save weight, but I think that Yamaha should offer a Adventure Touring mode with a large capacity thank. Kawasaki did just that with the KLR650, with a capacity of 6.1 gallons. And yet, the T7 is only 4 lbs lighter than the KLR650 base model. 6 lbs lighter than the KLR ABS model. By that comparison, the Yamaha with a 4.2 gal tank should be a few more pounds lighter than the KLR. At a minimum 10-11 lbs lighter. Why that much? According to Science and Technology Desk Reference a gallon of gas weights 6 pounds. The T7 carries a hair short of 2 gallons less fuel.
I do not ride like you did in this video. My style is more like what I call the “transcontinental style.” My travels involved a lot of road touring but when the pavement ends and the dirt road start, I keep on going with no problem and a bike more than capable to handle that type of road.
Being a “Trail Warriors” (as I call them) who ride like if the devil was chasing them and do jumps and go over boulders, logs, and other crazy terrain is not for me for sure. It does not look like fun.
Even though the Africa Twin relies a lot in electronics and that can become a big problem if the bike breaks down, like I’ve mentioned earlier, the 6.5 gallon tank in the sport adventure is definitely a huge plus for me.
What do you think?
thank you
40,000 valve clearance is amazing.
Great review. I just wish dealers in my area had one to see.
Yes, still shortages in production for a very good reason.
For those who live in areas with hundreds of miles of wilderness dirt roads this bike will be a dream. I live in such an area and hope to get one when they become available in the U.S. Will sell my DL1000A.
A fine video. Very helpful.
Outstanding review! To the point and relevant.
Thank god it's not a vlog of some guy showing us the road through his view as he rides the bike he should be showing us.
Great review. Intriguing bike.
A simple bike that delivers in so many areas, but needs some suspension work for heavier riders who like to go in the rough stuff.
fantastic review.....
