True it was pretty dusty Lindsay! Can confirm that the air filter access is done without removing the tank. Seat off with key, then the intake is located under the rear of the tank. I think it was 4 bolts.

It's an influencer channel. They're not here to review the bike. They're here to sell you the bike.

Good review. I love the Philippines. Wish I were there. Really interested in that bike. Seems to be perfect for my wants and needs. Can't get to the U.S. soon enough for me.

Cant wait getting mine in 3 weeks the mini T7

Nice riding, road isn’t much different except the dust 🤣 Welcome to the Philippines 🇵🇭

Love how the dude is just standing in your way at the end..lol Now just need to swing a leg over one and see how it fits as i am 6'3" and found my old Dl1000 odley cramped the way it made my knees bend. Didn't have the problem on ANY of the duel sport bikes I have owned. also wonder how the suspension is for larger riders... recently Had a KLX 300 and the suspension was too soft. tank was also waaaay to small...

What rpm was it pulling at 62mph.

Thanks for this extended review. Did you find your knees hitting the upper crash bar attachment sleeves? How tall are you? Cheers! Edit: when you hit the front brake at a certain point it squealed. I’ve noticed another reviewer saying the same thing & could hear it. This happened in another country. I wonder if the rotor buttons are extremely dirty or the pads are way too hard for longevity 🤔 Did you notice this squeaky on other bikes within the group?

My knees didn’t hit anything no. I’m 181cm (just under 6ft). I did notice the brakes squeal pretty much only that once. I’d say they’d just got a bit dust glazed in that slow speed dust bowl that was the adv park. Once out and going again I didn’t notice them squeal anymore.

I really had high hopes for this motorcycle, i was looking for something lighter than my tuareg that would be comfortable on road to get to the off road stuff i ride. Being this will be 195kg ish wet its so close on weight to the tuareg that its probably not worth it. I should keep my tuareg.

If you already have a Tuareg - keep it. The MT is not the enduro-rally bike you (and me and lots of others!) are looking for. I was out on my Tuareg again this morning and it was bliss.

Comes with a reasonably sturdy bashplate. You can opt for additional crash bars too. Decent ground clrearance at 200 mm , but just be conscious that its not an enduro/trail bike... If you intend on getting really gnarly with it, plan accordingly :)

@@sdavis4349 I think it’s smart that they’ve moved into a different segment than the 600ish space. There is really no direct competitor for a twin cylinder bike like this, so they have a unique offering for at least a little while… Let’s face it they could have done a lot of other things and then we’d still be asking ‘what if’ questions :)

Seat height is great for on road as it is, makes it corner very nicely. It's not a big deal, the taller seat option would improve standing position more than enough. And you could opt for risers too if you wanted further height.

11:00 That was a very deep crack and an unfortunately placed loose rock, I wouldn't blame the driver, the road is always 3x worse than what the GoPros can capture.
