    UPDATE: Just took delivery of an XSR900 GP press bike for the next 2 weeks and immediately recognised the right hand switchgear from this video. So it looks like they've borrowed it for this test bike, and it does indeed house the sensor for a RBW throttle. As such, I'd be very very very surprised if the next version of the T7 doesn't ship with more up-to-date electronics.

    If it ain't broken don't try and fix it. If they change the looks they'll probably spoil it. If they try for more power, they'll lose the low down torque, and it doesn't need any more tech, it's simplicity is a selling point.

    It always amuses me when “influencers” say the T7 is “lagging behind the competition” with a “lack” of technology. That’s what makes the T7 superior to the competition. I’m selling my 890 Adventure because my recent acquisition of a 24’ T7 is more of what a purist is after. I hope the 24’ T7’s TFT dash doesn’t get moisture on the inside like the KTMs, or the cam issues that many owners are going through… luckily mine checked OK at the 11k service. I’m just glad the T7 is finally readily available here in the states. Yamaha, don’t change too much. The rocker switch, you can if you want, I don’t mind it. The exhaust needs reworked so it won’t hit the swingarm after crashes, and upgraded suspension would be nice. Maybe more fuel capacity… maybe, not a huge thing. Otherwise, keep the price low and we can mod it ourselves.

    It's the false equivalence of "more technology" being "leading." Perhaps more customers would think along the lines of "this vs. that, this has more than that" and buy the thing that has more whizzbags. But these days, I just don't look at technology the same way in all aspects of life. I often look at technology as invasive, privacy-destroying, the tools of corporations to gain control of my life, dignity-destroying, laziness-inducing, and brain-restructuring. Why must everything trend toward less use of one's mind and more convenience? Who or what gains control of our lives in this trend? There's a certain amount of things that individuals need to be in control of and that's just life, that's the way biology/economy/energy/life is; either you are responsible or that responsibility is consented to someone else. Simplicity is often better. I would like motorcycle companies to figure out more simplistic ways of making the riding experience better, which does not mean STUFF THAT DAZZLES THE EYES. I'm talking about brakes and suspension function, and engine flexibility. I don't mean more power, but I mean broader power and more efficient power and more flexible power.

    @@mountainridersvk Thank you. Good points. Overall weight might be OK, but top heavy to me is inexcusable. IMHO it comes from lack of passion for dedicated off-road engines, which these days seem to be the same story with most manufacturers; To save cost, they build one fits all purpose engines, which then turn out to be tall and top heavy. And people are OK with it? 🙈 In some ways I fault the end of large displacement Paris-Dakar bikes and the corresponding lack of competition in that class. I have an older XRV750. It's 62 horsepower is more than plenty with most notably a very low center gravity. Which makes it super easy to handle, even far easier than my 600 single cylinder.

    An adjustable seat would be great for shorter riders. For me it is low enough, but for my friends the bike is just too tall. The Africa Twin has an adjustable seat. The seat is way thinner than the Tenere and 2 cm lower and the bike has better ground clearance. The Tenere is too top heavy, a lower tank like the KTMs would be good also.

Personally I would like just a little bit more power on the newer bike even though the engine is the showpiece . I’m old school and love the simplicity of the T7 but you can’t argue that on long transition days across France for example cruise control would be lovely. Also for me just upping to 18 litre tank would be enough so you can comfortably get to 200 miles range.

    I bet that new linkage is for lower ride height. It is a pain point, all competitors are lower. In the current T700 upper shock mount is right under rider's crotch. So the seat can't be lowered. With the new linkage, the lower mount of the shock significantly lower than before, so the upper point could be moved lower too. So lower height with the same clearance, travel and shock.

    As a 80/ 20 off / on road rider - 72 HP is plenty. Decat and remap opens the T7 up and is plenty fast on road, and pushes the limits off. As a solo rider at times, and having dented plenty of rims, I'd prefer to keep my old school tubes any day. Any more power and she'll need power modes and will muddy up throttle control, my top priority when really hucking it over sketchy terrain, IMO what this bike was designed for.

    I owned one for a few years. I think it needs a bit more hp, cruise control and lower the weight/bring the centre of weight down with split tanks. The bike always looked awesome. Better suspension. Braided brake lines. I felt like with the old bike it needed a few mods to make it good. Put better grab handles on the back and a little rack. Most other bikes come with that. I sold mine mainly because the power was very boring (Coming from owning a lot of dirt bikes.) and even though it was a good bike it just didn’t have the magic that I wanted.

    The T7 has a huge following and a bit of a cult so doesn’t need expensive upgrades. Any one who moans about 72 hp and can’t jump , wheelie or power slide needs to have a word with themselves. It’ll cruise at 80mph. What more do you want , an orange and white bike that’s scrap after the warranty has ended ?

    @@chrishart8548 What on Earth are you talking about? The CP2 engine has a good wide Power band. The gearing it has in My FZ-07 the biggest problem is that there is very little difference between 5th and 6th gear.. 6th gear needs to be taller for high speed cruising and slighter better MPG and less engine wear.. In a T-700 they simply lower all the MT-07 gearing buy using a larger rear sprocket. Which kills your highway cruising and still leavers you with a first gear too tall for Trail riding ect.. Lower the gearing with the sprockets plus use a lower first gear and a taller 6th gear for Highway cruising at the minimum . As a matter of a fact the CP-2 motor has enough torque to shift from 3rd to fifth or second to fourth gear with out bogging it down much .

Back the good ole days the Brochures always listed gear ratios. The Yamaha YZ-450 and WR-450 have close and wide Ration Transmissions.
