My father and my good friend neighbor both ride the ktm 990 and i own the tenere 700 world raid with the dual tanks. First: ive been riding motocross/enduro/adventure bikes for 20+ years and have never heard of anyone boiling petrol inside the tanks, even with the smoking hot engine of the 990. My dad rode 50.000km on his 990 across south america at really high tropical temperatures and never had such an issue. That being said i am sure i will never run into this issue with the raid since it runs pretty cool as it is. Second, the suspension difference on the raid is huge. Its not just the travel. The spring rates are much stiffer and shim-stacks are also much different. The compression and rebound damping range is much bigger compared to the stock bike and the ramp-up/bottom out resistence is simply uncomparable. The two suspension systems are in my experience completely uncomparable. Regarding the weight, let me put it this way: the tanks on the raid are so much lower that if you fill them up with the same 16L as the regular model, the bike feels considerably lighter. And i dont know what you mean with "filling up procedure"? When i fill up my bike i just open the lids one after another and just fill them up normally. Any weight difference between the left-right tanks the bike will compensate immediately, since it has a dedicated mini-fuel-pump to regulate the level on both sides. I feel like this video was very "theory based" and less experience based with the bike in question. Again, i own the raid and non of your concerns with this modell came true to me. Would love to hear you experiences with it if you ever get your hands on one. Cheers Pavlin❤

You always make a lot of sense, Pavlin - thank you for taking the time to produce these videoes for us. Regarding the original tyre, it probably was a production defect. As to the tube - natural rubber tubes tend to leak a little, especially light duty ones. On the upside, they normally just puncture with no further damage, whereas butyl inner tubes leak next to nothing when whole, but usually rupture if punctured. Could the stock tube be made from natural rubber? Otherwise, I fully agree that spending lots on technology usually do not bring lots of new functionality. I feel there often is a lot of hype, and when you read test reports about the newest and greatest, you are lead to believe last year's model is totally obsolete. Then you notice someone on a 30 year old machine leaving everyone on new material behind. Because he or she invested in developing their skills instead of buying new bikes every year.

Interesting insight Pavlin, thanks for sharing. If I may say, regarding the dual tank: comparing the T7 solution with KTM 950/990 it's not appropriate in my opinion. The KTM 950/990 engine is famous for being as hot as a vulcan, and the problem is a bit less visible with the 1190 series (I own this). I am not surprised if your friend had the tank deformed. The advantage of having a double tank is that, in case of failure of one tank due to a falling, you should be able to proceed you journey with the other one. I have seen a couple of episodes during and off-road use. As you always say, it depends what you use your bike for. I agree with you about changing the muffler position, that modification would have been a real plus. Thanks again.

so happy to hear youtalking about you solved the wobbeling. i one had mine perfectly balanced, but not seated well within the rim. don´t know better how to describe it. anyhow, it´s such a relief to see and hear people finding the solution to having this calm ride again. :-) of course the rest of your video is of usual quality and i share your opinion also, "just" use your bike, don´t try to improve it as if it was a upgrade game, remember why you started: it´s all about the driving. but , that said, i _also_ totally understand how people can have this GAS (gear aquisition syndrome) , because i know it from the time i myself tried to get better at being a rock guitar man in a band. and quess what, it´s more than 80% percent in the fingers, as they say so nice and max 20% in the guitar itself. if like you play a song or two. to the listeners. but i must admit, if you play gigs after gigs and spend most of your awake-time on stage, you will notice less fatique on the expensive stuff, for sure. and even after a song. but here comes the same question that i asked myself, as the guitars i dreamed of tended to cost more and more: what will i use it for and are thousands of dollars worth the expense considering how much i play in the end and how much i will only look at it . so in the end neither do i play that many gigs to spend fortune on more and more guitars, nor do i professionally race to do the upgrade battle :-D this helps me a lot to focus on the right things (for me!) . it seems we all sometimes have tendencies to blame the swim suit first, if we can´t swim :-) Greetingz and .... speed safe :-) Mariusz

Good video, thanks for your educated point of view. I fully share the idea that a bike is just a tool. I may add that almost any bike may do, if one is willing. There are many around the world travellers using my father's old Vespa. I'm currently having a blast around Italy on Kawa J300 scooter with my wife along. Just enjoy the scenery. I had a KTM 950 back in 2004, used it for >50,000 kms across Greece and Turkey and never had any issue. The water overflows from the compensation tank if filled above the mark line, my mistake. Otherwise a near perfect bike with AMAZING suspension, even to date. While I understand your comments on the new World Raid model, there is a fundamental point missing. Real time experience with it. Your opinion is valuable, but it's just based on a "spec sheet" without actually using the bike. Let's just say the jury is still out until you tried the new model and confirm your ideas. Finally, your comparison/pov on the suspension is based exclusively on the travel. While important it misses a more important element. Quality! Suspension performance have many factors, and while travel excursion is one of them, it misses many others. And for that, one needs to test it and see if it fits. Again, thanks for your insights.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Just a little note: it is never too late to change yourself ;) 🙏

I recently bought a world raid. I fully agree with Pavlin in this video, a lot of it is a bit additional stuff and still a shame of the exhaust. I bought the world raid actually just for the additional bigger tank ( i really love the miles i can make now) and also another simple reason: got a good deal on it. And since it is my first new motorcycle i decided to spend a bit more extra money on the world raid with a bit beter suspension. I do have to say that the wider tank compared to my testride with the orginal tenere did make it feel more bulky. But i got used to it quite quickly.

Good thoughts and content, to add some perspective. I still am unable to buy a T700 here and there is already a second special model arriving.

Pavlin, thanks for the review, excellent review. At expensive helmets usually the value reflects the high price. When it comes to a functional helmet, then it is clear that the cheap price is a main thing. It is also more comfortable to walk around with a cheap helmet in terms of scratches and theft. Noise can be overcome with earplugs, but the most important thing for me is that the helmet visor seal out the wind, otherwise the wind dries out the eyes and it becomes very unpleasant. On the other hand, most of the cheap helmets have no difficulty providing a reasonable wind seal at a speed of 100 km/h.

I think comparing KTM engineering to Yamaha engineering is little short sighted. KTM, like every other European manufacturer, are very short sighted when designing. They don't care if it'll work two years down the line because they plan on selling you a new bike by then. Yamaha is much more thoughtful in their approach and I'm sure they would have known of the common issues associated with the dual tank KTMs.

Finally. Someone who expressed the same thoughts i have. From my 1190 R i was looking to another bike. A bike that does not has some bad things the 1190 R has. And this is weight. I still need some power and i also want a bit comfort. So maybe a little bit less weight. But atleast a bike then with a bit lower center gravity. When the t7 came out i thought ok ? Lets see where this is going. But soon i became aware that it is topheavy. For me it is. When i heard from this world raid with double tanks that were placed lower i became happy. For a short time. I would be more happier if there was less gasoline but that the center gravity was a big bit lower. What Yamaha has done is purely for marketing purposes. And creating a large amount of new buyers. And now i am a bit sad actually cause Yamaha was so on the right path. I am getting older and picking the bike up after a crash is becoming more and more difficult. Expeccially when your own energy is degrading and when it is hot weather. And every time that you need to unload its luggage to loose weight that is on the top. This will drain me. All in all the concept is ok but in reality there is for me notting to gain. And this reality goes up for more people who wants to go away from the tarmac. I hope that Honda will do a 450 cc double cillinder adventure bike and keeping the weight below 160 kg. And with a low as possible center gravity. Even a 450 single cillinder like the crf 300 would be great. And then with the same interval as their 300 cc counterpart. But with a bit better suspension. I would buy such a bike immediatly. It is not the crashing that i am afraid of. Cause this will happen if you want it or not. But those heavy bikes will take all your energy. They burn you out offroad. Until now the 890 r is still the better choice for low gravity. But the maintanance interval is not so ok. And it has not the reliability for a world trip bike so to speak. So my hope is that there will be a lighter bike soon.

I bought a black 2020 with 3800km on the speedo yesterday. Today i ordered the 30L bags from 21Brothers and the Enduro crash bars from Heavy Duties. Once again a bigg thank you from Sweden.

I really like your no-nonsense approach to bikes, Pavlin. The new Raid ist significantly more expensive. I'd rather save the money and go travelling. Cheers from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter

Great video as always Pavlov! I am in the market of coming back to riding a motorcycle and this time I am interested in try riding a little bit offroad/gravel roads. So the Tenere seems to be an affordable and fun option. Yamaha had their tour visiting our local dealer with the option to try out most of Yamahas line up. I frist tried the Tenere Explore and then the World Rally (Raid with an Acrapovic exhaust). I didn't think the difference would be that big, but I have to say it really was! The WR was so much more confident and stable on the road. If I already had the Tenere, would I upgrade? No!

Great video with valuable insights and information. In terms of weight the World Rally/Raid goes up to the AT levels which makes it a non favourable option. A tough choice for the new rider IMHO.

@Pavlin, what about the wind protection? Isnt it alittle better, because for instance of the fat tank?

They say 1.5 cm higher windscreen...

Great video. But I think that more petrol is better than less in a trip with uncertain offer of petrol bases, like Argentina, where it´s common.

You can always take a cheap petrol can for 10$.

agree with muffler position, i've changed it with sp-01 Hp Cprse high. But should be nice to have it directly from Yamaha.

Maybe next time...

7 litres are 5kg more… if you put 16 litres in the petrol tank its only 9kg more than the standard version with more suspension travel, wind protection and a few things. 1 cm more higher from the ground.. i thinks this is also important. Smart move, in my opinion, this is so much better in every situation except going to do “enduro” on sunday. Better motorcycle for traveling, offroad adventures, and everything the customer should expect from an adventure motorcycle
