- The T7 Extreme just stood there on my dealers floor, waiting to be tested ...so why not, what have happened since i tested the T7 Standard a few years ago. Pretty much what was needed to be done :)
Thanks to @biketrollhattan4412 who let me take a ride on this cool bike.

Mattias on a Tenere. That's a sight! But something tells me you will stay orange :D I would be a happy puppy if I could get me one of those!
You need an extreme! But Your upgraded susp should cope well with what You expect. This Extreme with kayoba have still more travel, right? I'm actually very openminded regarding bikes, but the Orange Beast is too new to be traded with in reasonable deal. ...and it't a great fun bike 😁✊🏻✊🏻 I rellay liked the upgrade on this bike, just whats needed. Factory heated grips and quickshifter was the only thing i missed.
Måste säga att jag är väldigt nöjd med min T7, precis stoppat in nya K-tech fjädrar, blev otroligt skillnad. Tack för testkörningen.
Kan tro att det gjorde gott, gillar dock den längre fjädringsvägen. Att den blev mer stiff gjorde gott. En kul bike som gör det den skall. Mitt nöje 😁
Excellent look at the T-7 Extreme. Mattias!
If my local dealer had any T-7 and if they would take my 22' 890 Adventure S on a trade, I would make the trade.
I love the 890 but I'm a Yamaha guy from the mid 70's. Its time for me to get back on Team Blue.
Haha, my dealer always want me to trade! Especially the Yammy guys on the floor. It is a nice bike! Just does what a bike needs to do and that with a funfactor.
Aaah, the nice views of Trollhättan! Swooshing through Syltrebro Dal in Sjuntorp and raising an extreme hell on the gravel roads. Nice review, thank you for the insights!
😂🙌 Thats the local gravel autostrada 😂✊🏻✊🏻👍 Thanks 🙏
Very honest review Mattias . Thank you
My pleasure 🙏 Thanks for the comment, much appreciated.
Great review, keep them coming, I am fortunate enough to have both the 790r and the T7, but after three years owning both bikes I still prefer the 790r, better for distance, better fuel range, and suspension, and because I'm only 168cm the ktm is more manageable 👍
Awesome, then You have the best basis on how to compare these bikes 👌. Seat comfort, power and range is noticable differences. This version should have been the standard 😁👌
i tested both 890R and T700 Extreme, i still prefer the 890R. On the T7 you will need to add a lot of protection to make it eaven top heavier. On the 890R i just have bashplate and better handguards. Lower center of gravity is the most important imho, it feels so light
I agree on this, the 890R is a very sofisticated unicorn among the others. Hands down. Thats why i love it! ...it's the hooligan in the team.
Picking up mine on this Tuesday, thank you for the video! Cheers and ride safe!
@@wsbygt Happy Trails!
@@Braapncamp
It is a really nice ride @@wsbygtenjoy it!
The power of the dark side is strong... will this old padawan stay in the light or step over to the dark side 🤣 I had a good look at the bike at my local dealer today, and it looks way better in real life than on pictures and video. Damn it looks aggressive. Wish they had the same seat as my world raid. Great riding Tjommi, and the dessert colour looks great on the blue tenere. Cheers Tjommi 🥃
Requires a Jedi it does, to master the desire of new bikes 👀🤣 Cool bike and Your seat should fit? The Desert color definitely fits bikes with golden rims like fashion on a cat walk. The Dark Side is tricky and has definitely a strong power of lures... Skål Tjommi 🍺
Thank you for answer Mattias .I'm owner KTM 890 .21.S Version .i'll test next week, on the gravel roads , a new T7 Explore.
Happy Trails 💪😁 You will wonder where the 30 hp are 😂 But You will adopt if you ride it for a while.
The Pirelli Scorpion Rally (STR) is impossible to ride off-road people say. Mattias says hold my beer 🍺 😂 For an “extreme” T7 I would love to see it born with better tires, and a better exhaust, and for god sake get rid of that license plate fairing already 🥵 You should have ripped that off before you took a leak and pissed on that 😂 Great video, happy belated birthday. Life is for living eeh ☺️🙌🏻
Haha, firts comment on the piss. You know i saw goldfishes before i had that leak ...ranting too much about the Dark Side. I agree on that it is some details to make more snug, but something thats left to the buyer to farkle and make third party manufacturers happy 😁👍. The Pirelli Scorpion STR's actually deserve a review on their own, a remarkable tire with surprising characteristics You don't expect when just looking at them 👀😂✊🏻✊🏻. Skål Daniel! 🍺👍
Nice review, and nice riding Mattias 👌. The T7 Extreme seems to be a good progression for the standard bike, the suspension and the dash etc. Great bike and good to hear your thoughts. Cheers, Steve 💚
It was more fun to ride this time compared to a few years ago when the standard was released. Not sure why, but for sure the suspension made much of it 👌 Cheers my friend 💪🧡🍺
Very interesting insight from someone riding the mighty 890 R, cheers!
Thanks 🍺🍺, The Beast was slightly nervous when i left her on the parking.... But she's too good to trade 😁✊🏻✊🏻☝️😜
Mellan 14:00 och 15:00 minuter talar ni samtidigt som ni visar när ni kör, ljudkombinationen var usel, men hörde inte er tala och hörde mer av motorljudet. Ingen bra kombination. Schysst review annars. Tack för delningen.
Tack för återkopplingen, definitivt något som kan bli bättre.
Thank you for your insight to this bike. Early or later we switch over to Japanese bikes 😂👍🏻 - Thomas started first, then I had to downgrade due to multiple reasons and you are looking at that T700 😎
😂🙌 Not yet, but i'm open minded ☝️😁
I had a 890ADV-R and now have the T7. I do wish the T7 had traction control. When using compromise tires on dirt, wet clay and wet grass in particular, especially off camber, TC can help keep you upright. With knobs TC probably wouldn't add anything to the T7, but it definitely has a place with tires, like the OEM Pirellis, that also have good street manners, when they are in slick conditions.
I actually had this thought myself. 👍
The high fender on that still has the low section behind the forks so mud would still build up the same. I’ve got a standard T7 with quite a few mods but I’ve never had an issue with mud build up.
Thats insightful input! A typical part to mod 😁👍
very nice man !!!
im huppy already with mine !
Tenere 700 is a fabulous bike !
cheers from Greece !
Thanks🙏 Happy Trails in beautiful Greece my friend! Must go there fr some late winter enduro vacation some time ✊🏻🤌🏻
I own my t7 extreme for few month now and i absolutely love it. I’ve become a lot better on this bike with my off road skills, the cp2 is so smooth and has a perfect behavior on the trails ! I would only love to have maybe 10-12hp more for the road use . Maybe this is because i went from 160hp to 74hp 😂
I can only say my step father is a former cross and trial rider and he can’t keep up my pace when i hit the throttle with his norden 901 expedition although it is a more powerfull bike (on technical offroad tracks ofc) 😁
A very forgiving bike, totally agree on that. So much better suspension than the standard T7, makes it alot better to ride. The Hp was OK on gravel and in the woods. Jumping on my 890R after the testride makes You smile at the Hp, fun in the twisties for sure! For a ADV travel bike, this bike does good as is though. Congrats to a nice bike and happy trails out there!
@@Braapncamp yea I tried the 890r and was close to buy it, really good bike ! The only thing I didn’t like was the wood hard seat 😂
Did you change yours ? Also at this time i heard they had some issues with the tft screen and the leaking gearbox
@Jonathan-ez8tq No, I like the seat 👌. No problems so far!
Good honest review. Glad you staying orange.
💪🔥😁
Stay orange, not blue, Mattias. Nice trails, especially now in spring. Trees blocking your way? We have that over here, too. Not made by nature, but by farmers ;-) Happy rides, Günter/Nürnberg
Hehe, yes two of the single tracks was blocked by wind fallen trees. I stay Orange this time ☝️😁
@@Braapncamp Ah, the wind. Over here it's mostly done by the owners. Orange has more adrenaline.
forget orange and blue. Go VESPA!
@@DiabloOutdoors Two-stroke power, hand-shifted!
Haha You are right! I would really like a vintage classic Vespa. Cool scooters! ✊️✊️😁
Never wanted a bike more
Go for it! 😁👍
Top Test!!! 💪🏼👌🏼
Thanks 🙏🙌
Maybe one too many small coffee! Great review!
😂🙌, I missed my little thermos out there! A wonderful spot to just enjoy a coffee and chill under a tree ☕️🤌🏻 Thanks 🙏
Sold my 2023 890r and ordered one of these at Xmas. So far it’s been pushed back 3 months. Pretty annoying now I’m seeing people everywhere getting theirs.
I know how it it feels and the words relax does not help, YOU WANT IT NOW! 😂🙌

Tack 🙏
Great review, Really good looking bike.
Thanks Jonas 💪🤠🔥✊️✊️. The Katie is still in the stable though 🤌
@@Braapncamp When I tested the T7 i missed cruise control and also heated grip is great even though I rarely use them in temperature over 10 degrees. I saw that you missed them to.
Maybe those things isn’t a dealbreaker but that’s really nice to have on a bike when travelling 🤩
I’m not an off-road rider i’m more a explorer so for me there’s other priorities than the optimal off-road bike 🤔
Explore further, explore adventurous 👀🙌☝️😁
great review! my extreme is coming this may! what tires were you running?
Thats cool, congrats to a very capable bike! The tires was the standard Scorpion STR that it comes with. Rather cool tires actually.
@@Braapncamp they look more capable then expected. Thanks!
Another important point is that the T7 is approx $5k less than your KTM ! (Hurts I know, I'm riding a Husq.901 Exp.)
vroom-vroom ! 🙂 Horses per kg. I'm happy
Thanks! Thats an important note. A lot of bang for the bucks! Then the farkles begins 👀😂
@@Braapncamp Please forgive me, but I don't know what a farkle is ?
Haha, all the extras, especially the once You may not need but want 😂
@@Braapncamp All the bikes I've owned never had so much computer interference. Honest, just a throttle, some gears & breaks was always perfectly fine. I'm quite capable of knowing the limits of slip front & rear. ABS is good for wet roads, could do w/out in the dirt. Working on my wheelies w/out scratching the paint. Only Farkles are stuff I actually do need, new helmet, better rain gear, GPS etc..(In time) ✌
@@YABBAHEY1 Haha, me neither prefere to gear up a bike that ends up looking like a christmas tree... 👀🤣 thats not cool and not practical.
Which bike gave you the best feelings, the T7 or the BMW 900 GS?
I like the power and hooligan feeling on my 890R, the chassis as well. The Beemer is close and made me happy that BMW really got it. Finally something that appeals since the days of HP2 Enduro, time to reintroduce a monster enduro on the liquid cooled boxer 😂✊🏻✊🏻.
The T7 on the other hand surprised me on how much liked it, mixed feelings since the day the standard came out on the market. I tested that one early after the release and was very happy to have chosen the 790R at that time. Now it was the bike it should have been from start. Ridewise You will have fun on both, that extra power in the 900 gives smiles, both bikes gives smiles on ADV.
Cranes! They seem to be very close. Do they breed in your area or are they on a passage?😃
They definitely breed in this area, but many are on passage as well further north. Wonderful sign of spring!
Good vid Mattias
You didn´t feel top heavy cause you were on reserve... :D
Maybe with this suspension could be better, but to me other thing that i don't like is sometimes the front could be unpredictable, got some code brown...
I trade the older model for a 890, and i don't regret.
Yes, i think the bike was half filled when starting off and in the end it was on reserve. I think i mentioned that is wasn't fully fueled, that makes difference. The 890R is for sure more hooligan and fun with 30hp more and the agressive throttle response.
Hello. Nice review.
I am waiting for mine on june 6th coming from an africa twin AS 2019, and a ktm 990 adventure before that.
I guess we are all looking for the inicorn bike.
I am 1,97 cm. How tall are you? Did it feel good for your size?
Thank you in advance.
Cool, it's a fun bike! I'm 183 and ir felt really nice, not too high at all. Good ergo.
Mattias,your opinion between low center of gravity KTM and high center T7 ?
This is something i've been thinking about, when riding in normal speed and moderate turning i can't really tell the difference. If turning it might help you with higher center of gravity, momentum. The same momentum could be a resistance when flicking up the bike again for a quick turn in the other direction. In low speed manouvers i think it's more noticeable or in tougher terrain with more movement in the bike, all thet weight fells more centered and better managable. With this said i think that 90% of riders or situations, this is not something you think of exept from raising the bike from centerstand 😂.
There is the bikes geometry as well to consider, this i probably more noticeable between bikes. Narrow or wide rims? that also makes difference in how a bike behaves with their tires when pushing at gravel or dirt roads. There is something with the T7 that makes it easier to ride than many bikes. The 790/890 feels that you need to be more active on, go figure. But when You ride it actively it pays you back in a great performing bike.
To much physical inputs to know and master / fine tune on your bike to just isolate center of gravity as something to point at. Just my thoughts.
Hur var den om du jämför med BMW 900:an ??
Körmässigt är de lika lätta att ta sig fram med för sin storlek. Men det är bra mycket mer pulver i 900GS liksom det är i min 890R. Något mer komfort i sadeln på 900GS än T7. Annars är övrig ergonomi väldigt lika. Båda har elastiska motorer som drar fint på låga varv även med för hög växel.
I'll keep my 890R. It's amazing
It truly is! 💪✊️✊️ it is very difficult to get impressed by other bikes in the class if riding an 890R.
Hard to go down in power. It's a workhorse machine. I'd like to have the Raid model twin tank. TS's. But they need suspension and wheel wirk. The BMW and KTM can be riden off RTW travel. Good vid
I think they ave done a good job on the KYB suspenion, this is how the T7 should have come from start ☝️😁, Agree on the power, power is fun. This bike has all the power needed for trailriding though. It is easier to lift the front on the 890R though and that is handy now and then. Thanks Sam and cheers!
@@Braapncamp Have you or friends tried Mosko Moto Boundry Pants/jacket. Premium priced and spec ed gear?
A friend very close have a set comming in and will definitley give his thoughts on the Boundary. It will be very interesting to watch his thoughts! I'm done with "all in one gear" so i'm happy for now with the superb layering line-up of Mosko gear. Mosko have so much cool gear though, very purpose made.
@@Braapncamp yes they seem to be on the forfront of inivation. That set has full protection built in, the best as well
Are you stalking me????? Everything I look to buy you review hahah! I'm literally looking at ordering a T7 Extreme or an f900gs! How do you compare them? Also bear in mind I don't like big bikes for dirt. I am 6'3 but I like to throw bikes around, but I like the service intervals and fuel tanks on these bigger bikes ha!
Ofc I am! ☝️😁 The 900GS Enduro is a more comfy travelbike, in the woods they are comparable. It is a back to basic feeling with a bike you just throw your leg over and ride, no electronics to fiddle with 😂. But if You choose the T7, go for the Extreme. Not tried the World Raid though.
@@Braapncamp Yeah I was looking at the T7 Extreme with the Ohlins suss upgrade but I do like gadgets on the BM! I gotta check them out both myself but if use was 90% offroad, which do you feel is more playful?
More power = Playful 😂✊🏻✊🏻🤘 But to put down all the power from a 890 or 900 is just waste of rubber, Greta might have an opinion on that 👀🤣😅
@@Braapncamp Greta haha
🫶👀😂😝
The standard tenere only came to Japan 4 years after Europe. No other tenere ever came to Japan. So here we have yet another Yamaha not sold to Japan…..
Thats wierd 👀, what does the market generally look like for ADV bikes in Japan?
@@Braapncamp similar to Europe. I was told the reason has something to do with Yamaha global not liking the quality control of Yamaha France. So they made a Japanese factory for the tenere that goes to none eu none common wealth nation. I guess we won’t see the other t7’s if they don’t make another assembly line here, but in the mean time, Honda Transalp seems to be eating the t7’s lunch. And I plan to get a Transalp. I say that as a former Yamaha Tokyo employee.
Would be cool if the Transalp also come in a "Enduro-version", the one available is a tad soft.
DR650 or Tenere 700 for 14k miles per year?
The T7 will offer alot better comfort for sure for that yearly milage. No doubt. Ofc this is pending on what rides You do. The DR650 should be lower cost and weight. But ut is is and oldy. The T7 is capable but still have great travel comfort.
@@Braapncamp I'm in Southern California so there's a lot of riding options. I do have a RAM 2500 to load a bike onto, but I just want to ride everywhere instead. Thank You!
My dream bike. I fear it is too much for me.
No, this is a smooth bike to ride! Very forgiving 😁👍
👍👍
🙏
with this at least u finish travel without problem, KTM I am not sure..
But 1290 R 🤩🤩 actually I like
Haha, You never know! Neither my 790R or my 890R have left me stranded.
@@Braapncamp coz you riding around tour mama house 🤭😂
😂👌😜
😱 205 kilograms... That's more like a Husbil on two wheels. 😇😁
😂 there is something in that, a PR7 is probably more in the right direction... 😁👍
This is a nice bike. But there's no dedicated support for a Trangia. So...not a good bike for Mattias.
P.S. @21:32 Only you could have done such thing on a RUclips video lol
Hahaaa! I saw goldfishes thru my eyes speeking with You guys for such a long time. Thought the ADV family here would like to join for a revealing pee 😂🙌. Regarding Trangia stoves, my Mini fits like a glove in the cool day ride Luggage i fitted to the bike. That will happen with my own bike, pack it up minimal for some forest and outdoor combined rides. 💪🤠🔥✊️✊️
@@Braapncamp I hope that you'll never face the situation one day where you'll have to chose between keeping the KTM or the Trangia only. This would be a VERY difficult decision for you ;)
No more braap & camp then.... With my stash of Trangias and outdoor gear that seems to be the least worrying of the two. To feed a beast like the Katie, thats another story 😂✊🏻, i hope too i never have to choose, until the day i can't ride anymore 🙏
@@Braapncamp There's a solution for the "days when I can't ride anymore". It's called a sidecar. Imagine! you'd be the very first guy with a 890R with a sidecar! :D
😂 you an a unicorn , at least it fore me the best ADV bike.
i have a 2019 version an i wouldn't give it away for anything else.
no problems ans you can do al the meantime your self.
Hmmm, never thought of it as a unicorn 👀😁. Thats the best parts of unicorns, those are in the eyes of the beholder ☝️😁
Sadly, N/A in America!
What a bummer, why is that? Hard to see a good reason. Homologation should not be the problem? Not market either?
