![Yamaha Tenere 700 - Long Term [66,000km] Owners Review](/img/n.gif)
Had my T7 for nearly 2 years, agreed it not the fastest and does not have the most trick suspension etc. You have to ask yourself what you want it for. Its not a sports bike, its not a motocross bike it just does everything. I have had it nearly 2 years and feel this is the best all round adventure bike made to date. it is also has bulletproof reliability unlike a lot of other makes. Did 4,500 miles across Europe before lockdown with 2 weeks trail riding in the Pyrenees. 600 miles in on day @ 130kpm all day loaded with camping gear. it does it all very well.
Cheers Mick
my himalayan has 30k camping kms(and a ton of low speed abuse on dirtbike trails). i imagine most modern engines will last with oil changes.
Mick, did you use the stock seat?
@@ianross225 hi Ian I did it on the standard seat with a 20mm lowering kit on the rear and slid the forks down 20mm in the yokes. I now have the OEM lower seat and think it is just as comfortable. Cheers Mick
Why did you sell it?
Yeah the video title is just a clickbite.
I really like it! Nice adventure bike! Perfect for someone who does 80% street/country roads, 10% dirt roads, and 10% trail riding.
I hope in the years going forward Yamaha doesn’t screw it all up with electric everything. It’s the perfect bike for a guy like me and where I live. I don’t want to be constantly messing with settings.
Same for me, that's why I bought it. It's a no bullshit bike. It has all it needs and nothing more. Sadly, with the updated 2023 version they already start of putting crap into it that no one really needs like smartphone connectivity and TFT. I want to ride a bike and not use it as a fucking phone to call people. Wtf is up with this Bullshit anyway? Get a ram mount and put your faggity fuck phone there. Gets me everytime...
Great video, looks hot. I'm sat at home in the UK with a bad back, it's June, cold and raining. Going to get a T700, test ridden one and loved it. Sold my porky XL1000 Varadero (great tourer) but want something lighter and leaner. Videos like yours help people choose, thank you 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Nicely done! Very sensible and down to earth overview of what the bike is, what it’s not, and who it’s for (describes the bike’s essence and purpose - asks whether it suits your purpose)
I have the T7 Rally (with heated grips) and i love it for all the reasons You just mentioned. Great vid!
I am actually about to switch from a Z900 to T7, and I am not intending to do any of the off-road stuff. I am 6´3 and wanted something more comfortable (not having my legs smushed) and with more sensible power (still love my Z900 though, but I can only have one bike and T7 fits my needs better). I actually planned on buying a Tracer 700, but to be honest, I was super disappointed with the test ride. It has the CP2 engine, but the tune is different, the rear brake is pure mush, by far the worst I have ever used, no feeling whatsoever, handlebars are too narrow (it feels cramped for me), the suspension is trash just like on the MT07... I know that Tracer should be the street-oriented bike and T7 the dirt-oriented bike, but for me, T7 is waaaay more fun on the street.
Looking at getting a T7 or an mt-07 in the next week or two, randomly found your video comparing the two. Videos are great man! Keep it up!
Once you learn this bike you see how great the engineering is both in balance and power. I learned a lean in trick on the turns and I have much more stability on a real curve. The lean and confidence of that turn with your upper body at 45 degrees and your hands pressing down on the grips. those forks and tire work so much better and you ride like a princess assassin.
Nice to hear such comments. Thanks for that. I am still gonna try it but I guess I will stick with my xsr700.
Absolutely, it's worth trying. The upgrade from an xsr700 imo is the dirt capability without having to turn the xsr into a scrambler type. As a stranger on the internet, if I had an xsr700 already and didn't live somewhere that's like Tucson, I couldn't justify the upgrade personally. It'd be like buying a Daytona in North Dakota where there aren't any turns, or a Valkyrie when you live on miles of dirt road. It's possible and I've seen it done, but there are better options for the conditions present. Here, the T7 is perfect, lots of highway, lots of rural environments, mountains, canyons, trails, and the T7 does all of them.
Fellow Arizonan! Waiting for my T7 from nash after my down payment. Patience is a virtue …
Enjoyed the video. Well reasoned and humble
Good content, and an enjoyable video to watch. Thanks for posting
Good Video!! a couple of things, Yamaha has the heated grips, I have them on my Tenere, the cruise control easy to add, fuel tank is no issue I slap on a ton of miles Adventure touring. I hear you though in regards to not being able to find much wrong about this bike!!! The #1 reason to own this bike Yamaha reliability and the CP2 engine! Keep up the great videos!!
Did you actually add Cruise or just a Throttle Lock?
Cc how??
I love my T700, this my dual sport big bike and I feel it a little old-school bike with no bells and whistles and that's ok with me.
Nice quality review, thanks for investing some time on it.
I really want this bike! I'm pretty much looking for something that's better than my KLR on and off road with more power at similar or lower weight. I think this bike covers all those "KLR on steroids" and i really like the look as well. I am an off road junkie and would probably stiffen up the suspension. I would consider this my "big" bike. I also have a 98 DR350 for long dirt rides and a 21 Beta 500rrs for play. I think the t7 definitely fills a void and would be an excuse to add a liter road bike later lol.
Agree on that. You can check my channel, you may find it interesting. :)
I have a Vstrom 650 and I consider this to be in the same category. Yes, the T700 is better off road, but the vstrom is way better off road than any of the sport bike options you mentioned. I do get about 300 miles per tankful. The Vstrom is exactly what you said the T700 is. It's not going to blow you away, but it has everything you need for adventure. Super reliable too. Also, I do get about 300 miles per tankful.
Doesn't matter which bike has the biggest engine, is best for roads, dirt, track, which is more powerful, is more technologic or anything else.
If the bike makes you dream, put a smile on your face whenever you see or ride it, then it's the best bike.
This is so true. :) Can check my content, you may like it. :)
For the guy/girl that can have just one bike, it’s perfect
@Curt 2022 KLR is fuel injected. (I have T7 btw)
@Curt But the new KLR STILL doesn't have a 6 speed gearbox.
I have a klr650 and the bike does everything but it’s over weight and under powered. It bottoms out on any little “jump” and can’t really wheelie over any obstacle unless I’m low down in first gear. The T7 seems to fit all my needs to commute, ride on the weekends, and possibly do multiple hundreds of mile trips. My other option is a f800gs which also fits all the boxes but might be cheaper and more comfortable. What do you think? I mostly ride on road commuting but on the weekends I definitely hit the gravel roads and trails. Just bought a gps emergency communicator because I like to go way out by myself.
I want the do it all. A little bit of road hooliganism, a little bit of commuting, a little bit of offroad, a little bit of touring. Trading in my '15 GSXS750 for a Tenere as soon as the damned thing shows up at the dealership. I'll miss my gixxus so much but out of the 4 I listed it only does 2 :(
would be cool to see you cruise around on the T7 in AZ. Do you still have the T7?
I ride a 2020 Goldwing Tour DCT now and I'm looking for an adventure bike to get out into nature more also. I plan on keeping my Wing also. What I looking for in an adventure bike is a low cost of ownership and reliability. I've no off road experience, well a very little when I was a kid, I'm 54 now, from all the reviews this is the one I'm leaning towards. Don't plan on very hard offroading and I'm sure I won't be able to use it to its fullest capabilities due to my own physical limitations. I'm curious though at 6'2" tall and 270lbs ( I'm working on getting it down and getting in better shape ) will this have enough nuts to enjoy with minor gear on board for a guy my size? I think I'd be mostly on trails and dirt roads, pretty easy stuff. I really like the bare bones little tech with this bike, low maintenance, and reported reliability. Don't wanna go smaller and look like a monkey fuckin a football , but also want something with enough balls to get me outa any trouble I might encounter. Any thoughts? Or insight?.. I enjoy your page.
I have a 2022 T7 and never been offroad but I love it :) I'm a little too short for it so if I want to touch with both feet, I'm tip toeing. The bike is top heavy, too tall for me, plenty fast for my riding ability and an absolute joy to ride. Love the low rpm pull, love the upright position on it, the sound, and even the fact that it's difficult for me to ride it :)
I'll get to do some offroad at some point .. it's just difficult to find in Ireland if you don't know where to go.
Mt 07 is better for street (where mostly i will ride) as you say but I'm 6'2 (1,88) and i think that i will feet better on tenere.. Also i will ride many times with a pillion and tenere has space for laggage for some trips. what are your thoughts on these? Nice video!
Put a deposit on the T7 a few weeks ago. I have a KLR, which has been great, but just need a little more of, well, everything without the concerns of ridiculous amounts of electronics. The Yamaha seems like a great compromise. If it ever comes in....
Hope you got your bike! I'm hoping to soon upgrade from a KLR as well based on same reasons.
The people that are looking for all those characteristics you are pointing out aren't going to buy the t7 anyway. Truth!.... people are going to need this bike for when the Zombies come. The way the world is going it won't be long and than they'll wish they had a t7.
It's all fun and games unti you run out of gas
@@corax_of_istria that's true!.. that's why those people that have "common sense" will carry a small pack of extra gas, 'easy squeezy lemon peezy.
@@Solo_adv Or you can just get a KLR and solve a lot of the issues. Yes it’s not fast but it does the job. It does it well
When the zombies come I would want a himalayan
Or a tw200
Hegworld,
Good video. Also for the same price the honda crf450l dual sport bike would be another option. For a bike that can do alittle of everything the T7 is a good choice.
Crf450l dual sport bike xd xd xd xd
how is it at higher speeds cruising, i have a drz400 at the moment.. new rider 6'4" tall and 140lbs on a whats basically a beefy dirtbike doing anything over 90kph continuously im just getting tossed around by the wind, can do 140kph on it intermittently no issue but its like youre white knuckling it waiting for it to toss you over half a lean even leaning into the win
wonder if the extra 60-70lbs and a slightly more seated position vs the pure dirtbike stance of the drz might help but how much
I have tried all of those other types of bikes you mentioned that’s why I got the T7. Roads are crowded nowadays going off-road all the time gets old.
The perfect, do it all bike doesn’t exist….yet. The present solution a big garage with multiple bikes.
I'm happy with my T7, but the windscreen is horrible. Got myself a lower one that helped. Long trip tomorrow with other sportsbikes so curious too see how it perform compared in the twisties. I love that I actually have the option to go anywhere even if I don't.
It blew me away with the twisty capabilities not gonna lie. From a sport bike only guy, it handles its own
The windscreen is what I immediately hated when I rode off the lot, I got a ebay windscreen adjuster kit from Ebay, made a world of difference. I can keep up with my sportbike buddies no problem in the twisties. I love this bike.
Just got my T7 November 2022, so now I wait for the snow to leave and a bit warmer (live in Wisconsin). Other bikes are 96 M900 and 95 750SS (Ducati)
Take it down to Wentworth Road, there are all kinds of trails in the desert off that road.
your 3 reasons are very general, not specific T7. But hey I enjoyed your VID and you probably enjoyed the ride. So keep going :-)
I ride a 2016 Yamaha fjr1300es currently. But I'm going to get a tenere 700 for a 2nd bike in the next year. To start doing some offroad riding.
You can tour on anything. I did a 4K mile round trip on a single cylinder DRZ400 with the last 800 miles or so being a straight shot on I-80.
this sounds like my own personal hell. good on ya. did you do any confort mods to ease the suffering
@@jaybosher6144 I was 19 and that helped. Otherwise, no. Now I have a seat concepts seat but even that gets old after a couple hours.
I own ZZR 1400 and I live basically in countryside and I'm really yearning to ride dirt roads and bit in rougher terrain too. I'm really interested in T7 as secondary bike. There's that 1400 torque and power and I think I can't sell it though :)
I heard you brought up the Triumph Trident I wanted the Tenere 700 but didn't find one anywhere near where I live on central FL thinking my next bike will be the Tenere
KTM 1090R & 300XC-W is what i have now , i havent ridden the 300 in a long time & both up for sale at the moment though in favor of either building 'MY' ideal 700 Tenere' or maybe the 2 bike solution ? say a used Africa twin and a used 1cyl dual sport both ?? dont know but want lighter off road , simpler easier to maintain reliable and just cheaper to run overall but ive ridden a T7 and would really really really miss the power , suspension & 6.2gallons of fuel stock of the big orange bike....
I bought the T7 & the Gen 3 KLR 650 months apart. I put 8000 miles + on both bikes in one summer. I wish I made a review and regret not doing it. I also had in my garage at the time was CRF 300L, CRF 250L , KLX 250S, KLX 230, (I sold the DRZ400S put 10K miles on it) that’s what started all the duel sport madness for me. I miss the Tenere 700, I only miss how comfortable the KLR was damn buzzy bike, but the Tenere is probably the smoothest best overall motorcycle I have ever owned. If you can afford two motorcycles, buy a CRF 250L or KLX250 and a T7. Forget the KLR…well until you’re pushing 50…you’ll love the KLR 650. Most comfortable slow, super capable 5 speed motorcycle. Well, you guys gotta know it was my dream to own all the motorcycles I dreamt about as a kid. That’s all I wanted in life. Own tons of motorcycles 😂. I originally was a sport bike guy. GSXR-600 but wish I rode the R6 before my GSXR. I just love motorcycles. Just get one damnit! Best advice I could give, buy it, ride it, sell it, buy a different one, ride it sell it and try all the ones you like. You will go back to the bike you loose sleep over. And that the T7 for me…
I cannot find a T7 where I live (Namibia). So I "settled" for a 2016 800GSA. I am looking forward to trying it out in the coming months. Coming off a 1250GS HP. So will be different world. I was looking for a lighter commuter that can handle gravel/mountain roads... Hence the 800GSA. Hope I got it right.
@hegworld what song does dandanthefireman use in his intro’s?
hi, very good video.
i want to change my motorbike (ducati mts 1200 enduro). i must lose weight.
tenere 700 or touareg 660 ? i do not ? do you think?
I can do without cruise , heated grips are a must ...
Can carry a fuel pack , have too have heated fing grips 👍
2018 Harley Davidson Fatbob!!! 2016 690 duke!!! Xcf350!!! 1982 ironhead!!!! My bike as of now. Looking at getting the tenere 700!!!!
Thinking of changing my 1290r superduke for a t7 planning on doing more off-road and camping stuff most modern bikes don’t like rain s1000rr and superduke cost me a fortune from riding in the rain
Great video! You ever tried to do an emergency brake on it on a road? I'm curious about getting one and I haven't seen or heard about anyone yet except on reviewer that said the front instantly locked even with abs on, so kinda curious as you know what you're talking about :)
Emergency brakes (done properly) are impressive. I haven't had it lock on me, but I have feathered on ABS. This Friday I'll make sure to include some harsh braking and swerves and see if I can't lock it up for you. For science
@@Hegworld I really appreciate it man! Brakes are my top priority for bikes and so far its the last thing for me to research into on this one before a purchase. such a great bike.
Breakes are good but abs on the back wheel is so bad im thinking of just removing the fuse.
I'm considering buying the T700 and replace my Road king special. Reason is that I live in Az and as well own a BMW GS1250 HP and want something lighter to go off road while taking the big Panzer tank on longer trips due to comfort... Haven't seen one in person yet or even ridden one. How high is the T700? Is it okay for 6ft rider?? Thanks for the review brother. And just saw you're in Tucson too!!!!
I sat on it and almost purchased one I couldn't tell the difference between the lowered version and the regular one in an actuality its such a minute difference it's not worth considering the extra cost for the lowered.... I actually have my deposit down on one and a VIN number supposedly the bike will be here in a week or two I got it because I want some off-road capability and I want to be able to travel some distances on the highway I don't think there's any other choice for a do it all bike.
PS I'm like 5:11 with a 32 inseam. It's fine to me definitely lighter than a BMW still a big weight jump from my tw200 which was a bit off putting it first but if you're coming up from a big bike like that you should have no problem
The T700 just won 2022 Rimba Raid, 1st and 2nd place. FOllowed by 3 months old stock Africa Twin 750.
For distance on street, no cruise, but the wind management on the T7 is better than the 890R, at least for someone 5'8" or so. Buffeting on 890R can be pretty severe.
“Jack of all trades is a master of none, but still better than a master of one.”
Is the full complete quote.
And the T7 delivers what I call the widest capability of an adventure bike. Meaning it can do soo much. Name one terrain you think the T7 can’t handle and I’ll find multiple YT vids of someone doing it in that terrain. Where as other more common name ADV bikes tend to have significant hang ups like being too big or too small. And the ones that don’t have issues have a huge price tag (cough-KTM-cough).
I have a 2022 T7. I didn’t ride it much because it was so dang hot in Washington all summer.
Main reason I didn't buy the T7 is the heavy weight. For the average -rider doing dirt-oriented adventures it's a bit too heavy.
Every thing is great about the bike ,one thing it’s very hard to pick up on loose or uneven surfaces on off road ,but we can’t have every thing ,I’m super happy with the bike the engine is very very reliable in remote areas ,jimmy Australia
You still have the bike Bro? Any new updates on a review? 🙏🏼
T7 has the best ergonomics for me. Im 6-0 tall but have long legs and just want to be comfortable touring and gravel roads.
We don’t really have a lot of off road where I live ,and only few gravel roads. But I still want one even though the best choice for me would be the 07
But the T7 is expensive for what it is I think.
More engine sounds please. Good vid
Thanks for this video... all i wana do is ride on the street... so i think Tenere is going to be my 2nd bike
if you like modding out a bike, the tenere..... is DEFF for you. I just spent like 4k of my crypto gains on just mods an i still have to get like a dampener, new tires, a wrap or graphics havent decided. But theres a huge after market, an modding a bike is like one of my personal fav parts of having them. And from what im told, the tenere is a perfect base to start with, you can put street tires on, you can put dirt tires on, you can get the heated grips if you do cold weather stuff, or long highway miles in the rain etc. so many options to make it how you want it. I have a ninja 650 (first bike) an thats super cozy, goes fast (i dont always go tripple digets but it cruises nice at 100, can deff go faster though and loses the power up there) for when i wanna zip around town or just have fun on the street. the tenere is more my bugout/motocamper than i can take the bags off of an rip around in the gravel an dirt, sliding that back tire out an not being to worried about dumping it. Because a few dents an scrapes on a tenere just means its being used as intended C:
I started with a 2004 fz1. I now have a project 2005 fatboy. Even when the fatboy is back up and riding... it won't go were I want it to go. The T7 is a few dollars more then the 600cc dirtbike from Yamaha. I also live in the white moutains of AZ. Lots of dirt roads to get the T7 dirty on. I can't wait to get one!
If you are a bit taller, then this is a good street bike. It will do 200 miles on a tank if you go around 60-70 mph. It's fun and confy.
i think theres two camps of people coming to the tere. road bikers moving to an adventure bike, and dirt riders moving to an adventure bike. you seem to fit the street bike group
Wr450f, looking at a t7 for next year if we get any locally.
I currently have a 2017 speed triple.
I’m thinking about either keeping it and getting a 690 enduro or selling it and getting a T7. Still lost
690 Enduro is an awesome bike for riding to the trail, thrashing around on the trail, and riding home. I’d get that if you are keeping the Triple. I would do the Tenere if you were going down to 1 bike.
@@SprSonik13 yeah. 701 enduro surprisingly has same 70hp from only a single cylinder plus cornering abs traction control and lighter package. Top spec adjustable suspension. Passenger pegs can be added too if needed. Really hate they canceled the 701LR. It’s a more raw experience than tenere but seems like better value for few grand more
Realy like the engine on the T7, other than that, it didn't feel comfortable for me with my 176 cm.
The suspension feels hard to me and also not comfy, don't know the settings.
My hornet 600 pc41 supension feels better.
How about its stupid heavy to pick up when you drop it riding off road. How about its really top heavy.
Pump some iron
technique , ive watched 120lb women pick up 1200GS's
It seems like the xt 550 30 years ago. Living in an island with 11 klm asphalt I could go everywhere with it.
2:38 I mean, why would someone even look at a T7 if they are looking for sport bike performance. No offense but a lot of your points are just for someone who isn't even looking for an adventure/DS bike which in this case they wouldn't even be here.
I bought a Tracer 700 four years back and I'm glad I bought a 2022 versio of the Tenere last year as well. Can't go wrong with them. They are fun bikes with minimum electrical gadgets but this makes it reliable and you can actually repair a lot of stuff yourself. Bought a tester to let the ABS work so I can even bleed the ABS brakes. I weigh not much like 73kg and this is okay for this suspension. No need to upgrade it. I bought the Tenere as a street bike and even in that role it makes already more fun to ride then the Tracer 700 which is basically an improved street bike of the MT-07. Learning to wheelie on the Tenere is FUN.
What height are you or what's your leg inseam? I have a tracer (which I love) and i am considering trading it for the Tenere. But, the Tenere seems like it would be too tall for me, even with a lowering kit. I am 5ft8" with 30" inseam.
@@paulsmith635 I'm 1,73m. Inseam I don't know but I don't have trouble with the Tenere. If you want to be sure go to your dealer and test sit on one. Tenere is more fun, not even limited in lean angle when on the road with the stock tyre set from Pirelli and it feels like the engine has a bit more punch but for longer trips I would still prefer the Tracer.
@@majormassenspektrometer Thanks for the information, I have had mixed feedback so far from guys the same height as me. I sat on one at the weekend in the dealers at standard height and could barely touch the ground with tips of toes.
@@paulsmith635 A friend of mine is also same height as me and he struggles also. As I said, it's best to test sit on one.
@@majormassenspektrometer Thanks for the info!
ese moto es especial para viajes ya que no trae electrónica que te pueda arruinar el viaje. solo abs y inyección electrónica todo lo demás es mecánica. saludos y gracias por el contenido 👍
I love sport bikes, but where im from the road are like very rough for sports bike, the kind of suspensions and tires, I would prefer buy this T7
Hey Heg, I’m picking up one today, I’m a service advisor at GOAZ, let’s try to connect and ride
Wr250r here. Looking to trade up to the t7
Would like to upgrade to tenere 700. But price in SouthAfrica to high
hi is the seat comfy ??
Under 30 minutes, it's fine. Over that..... Well you might as well be into BDSM if you like it.
Hey buddy..
Well I have a Super Teneré 1200Z for touring and a XT600E for offroad purposes.. so I believe that the T7 is a mix of the two that allows to do both things easy...
About your 3 reasons not to buy I need to say that all your arguments are about comparing it with street bikes, About speed and and prices.... ai need to say that buying a T7 for street use is a bit dumb.. so no sense there comparing it with street bikes right?
Who ever buy a T7 is for mix on and offroad use... and this bike is pretty damn good at it!
For the price, I challenge you to come up with a better option than this...
Safe travels man..🤘
Went from a DRZ400e, good off road, great in traffic, horrible freeways, to an MT09SP. too fast for road, fun on track, ok on freeway (needs screen), horrible off road lol - looking at T7 for my 80/20 road/offroad needs.
I went from a drz400 to a tenere about a month ago. I feel like im piloting a fighter jet 😂 seems pretty fast to me.
Not sure anyone jumps onto a T7 thinking it is just a simple around town bike.
You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes , you might find you get what you need... 😋
The only deal breaker (major flaw) I can see is that the "new" Yamaha Tenere is *_very top heavy_* (& generally heavy for off-road). I.e. you will see more crashes/falling off the Tenere 700 on the trail.
EDIT: Notice this video is filmed *_on the road_* & not off road for a reason.
You're the only person I've seen say anything about the t7 being top heavy. Have you rode the bike?
@@motoman7445 You must not get out much. I 👂 heard that from many (the top heaviness and overall off road heaviness of the Tenere 700).
Have you rode it yet?
@@sweetcostarica I have not. Everything I've seen says its great off road. Again, have you rode it?
@@motoman7445 I have not too. Many things I have seen says it is top heavy and overall too heavy for serious off road.
I would give you references but if you are too lazy to just Google search... well there you go.
@@sweetcostaricaalso, many guys take them off road. So…
Thank You! The2022's are out' _Way Cool Upgrades' imo' the best is the lower 'center of earth pull' bcuz of the Dual 'glove compartments' I mean 'fuel tanks'_ The color screen' even though kinda looks like a knockoff 'wish' tablet' '\😶/' _ Still the perfect aftermarket dystopian dream machine! Reasonably Not to big or small.' Although if your on the freeway alot in the chill? I'de get aftermarket Heated Grips' if the bike can support them?(get a bigger alternater! lol) 👍Huge difference in moist air climates! Stay safe' Blessings' Peace✌
Its cheap, its simple, but good. For the price, I enjoy it
I brought the t700 rally just for the looks.no regrets uk isle of wight 👍
I want to take my T7 to the Isle of Wight, are there any good lanes there?
Any other recommendations for street bikes that have the same look at the tenere? No disrespect all those bikes you named look ugly af and aren’t my style. I’ll be doing 100% street but want the style and look of the 700. Just figured I’d ask. Thanks.
I'm not a master of any trade and I'm content with that. I can service my own car without spending thousands on dealership, and even more in depth maintenance if needed. Plumbing issues in the house, electrical failures, drywall patch or a whole wall, no problem I can do that too. Old lady wants a new front door she knows I can handle that. Daughter wants to learn Spanish she knows I can teach her, son wants to learn Mandarin, we can learn together. Computers in the house getting slow I can fix that. And just for the sake of this I work in a tire shop so if you need your tires done hit me up. I call that versatility. Now take your ninja to the trail, good luck with that. Take your Harley to a sandy two track, you will hate it. Take your scooter to the highway, don't get run over. I'm sure u get the point by now.
Make some more videos, man!!
Africa twin good , t700 w / heated grips = unicorn
I'd love to try one of these. I've got a BMW GSA 1250, its heavey but it's gotten me out of some tight jams
Good point of view but seriously you could be talking about any bike out there and come up with the same thing.
A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.
I live in Reno. Tons of easy trails and tons of hard stuff. I love my drz but I want more power, efi, and 6th gear. Seems like the t7 would be great for this area. I don’t trust ktm lol. Too many horror stories
Still it's good to have lots of trades then being master of one
Yaaaaaaaawwwwn
4. Spark plug placement.
Title should have been "who this bike is for" but not this title that begs for views!
Im 69, I just need to get a bike that will get me where I want to go, I live in Alaska so lots of all kinds if roads
I'm with you. I'm 59 and live in Northwest Wisconsin. Between debris, and dead animals on roads, then add road construction, black top transitioning to gravel, etc. I think the T7 makes for a smart choice. I don't have to travel for a half an hour to find a gravel, logging road, fire roads, or public land to ride on. It's all over. I like the idea of being able to cruise on the highway but also not being at a deficit if road conditions change.
I would hope someone's not buying this to ride solely on the road but it wouldnt surprise me.
Why would you write you don't like the bike and tell people not to buy it but then you say you love it smh. I've ridden motorcycles my entire life and worked on them professionally since 1980 if someone's not happy with something sell it and get something else stop picking it apart. I ride a 21 mt10 right now waiting for 22 t700 its preference of what people want or riding capabilities everybody's different
