    I have been traveling by motorbike for many years. My preferences are off-road. I have owned different brands and types of bikes - the Yamaha Tenere 700 made me fall in love. I ride it from long asphalt trips to hard off-road in the mountains of Bulgaria, Turkey, Frussia.... This is a completely new class of motorcycle.... I love it

    Yes you definitely can! 3 weeks and 8000km, two up and overloaded, Africa and Europe, 1710km in a day (yes iron butt), Croatia 🇭🇷 right now (900km trip yesterday). Yes yes you definitely can. Great video as always 👍

    I'm 1,96 @ around 100kgs. This thing is perfect for me. I bought it in the middle of April 2022. Last year I did a long trip of 8100 kms in three and a half weeks. Quite a lot of luggage because I was camping with a tent. The T700 is simple, reliable rugged and very economical. I ride it between 3,1 and 3,6 litres in touring mode, which allows me up to more than 400 kms of range, around 3,5 - 3,7 in everyday use and around 4 litres in city traffic in winter. I have never been beyond 4,2 litres. I can confirm your point concerning tyre wear. My Ténéré has served me well during the last 20.000 kms and I still use the first Pirelli tyres. Next I'll switch to my beloved Heidenau K60 Scout.

    Have my 2023 Tenere since one week now. My first Adventure Bike ever. Spend the last 35 years on XR600 and EXC500 and on fast streetbikes. I always believed, a mix would be too weak in each category, too heavy for fun in the dirt and too slow to have fun on the road. Recently remembered that what I really love to do is to ride small and smaller roads, take a detour through the woods and mya spend some nights in a tent someplace beautiful. All of this the Tenere can do perfectly. I only have 250km on it so far, but I am totally in Love with that thing. It looks gorgeous. I changed and added some stuff to my liking, and can't wait to do longer trips on it. Oh, and looking forward to some nice wheelies, once she is run in. You, amongst some other high quality youtubers like Adam Riemann, helped me to pull the trigger and buy my first ever brand new motorbike, after having owned at least 30 bikes in the past and still owning ten other bikes. I am now content in selling at least 3 of the others, which I never considered before. Thank you for your good advice and honest opinon, you helped a lot to make it possible! Greetings from Germany, safe travels wherever you are!

One day I did over 1000kms and its stupid I know but weather was good and I didnt have any problems riding 12 hours in one day. Bike is so confortable and I only have stock seat but its good for my ass :D I ride to my summer place often with my T7 with and there is no aspfalt roads and I never have problems riding in any gravel road. I also do lots of maintenance by myself and Its very easy.

    Thanks for the great videos! Talking about long distance trips i'd like to share some experience with my Tuareg 660 that you reviewed some videos ago. I recently came back from my very first long motorcycle trip. I rode like 3k kilometers through the alps, corsica, sardinia and tuscany with my almost new aprilia tuareg 660. I bought it new in november last year(2022) and rode 3k km before I started my trip and did not have any problems until then. Then I started the trip with my girlfriend, who rides a 25 year old suzuki dr 800s (and didn't have any problems the whole trip..). After about the first 500km we arrived with a ferry in corsica. Shortly after leaven the port I stopped near s shop to buy some food. After getting back, my Tuareg didn't start anymore. I called the Aprilia hotline and they told me "there is no Aprilia shop on the whole island" and they would send some mechanic to see if they can do something. After an hour the bike just started again (now with engine light lit) and the guy on the phone gave me an address of a motorcycle shop. I drove there and they were like "we only sell yamaha and dont have the tools to read your errors. Next shop that can read the errors opens tomorrow.." Luckily after arriving at that dealer the engine light was off and I hoped for the best an continued my trip. For (almost) the rest of the trip I didn't had any issues with the bike, but every day when I started the bike I was praying to the motorcycle gods ;D. This was very unsettling. The next problem came on the ride back. It was the last 15km before I reached home that the bike had problems with the gas pump or something like that (still dont know). I immediately drove to my dealer when I arrived. They didn't know what's wrong from the error codes and sent the data to Aprilia to find out whats wrong. Dealer said it will probably take like 5 weeks to fix.. Result of the whole: I'll sell my Tuareg as soon as its repaired and get a Tenere. F that whole electonic stuff (cruise control was awesome :/ ) and get a uncomplicated bike that everyone can fix and has a widespread dealership.

    I hesitated between both motorcycle and this channel and other help me to make the good choice, I guess. When i tried for an hour the Tuareg, I like the try, the moto seems very light but I was astonished with the High consumption, then the price of the bike, electronic and new Italian engine. I didn't take any risk and I'm so happy with my new Tenere. And I'm Italian ;)

    Here are "my" advices: 1. my fuel consumptin: 5.6 l/100km 80% offroad (very light - only tube repair/change stuff). 2. change oil every ~5kkm. This is what Yamaha serviceman told me. 3. air filter: when riding behind a buddy and it is dry (a lot of dust in the air) then change/clean after 2kkm (the same serviceman's advice).

    That is right my friend. When long trips in and outside your country, there is no need for an expensive bike, in my own opinion, with a lot of bells and whistles. The bike should be suitable for any kind of terrain and expect the unexpected. You will adjust your riding position accordingly. That's why I like a simple but reliable machine like the Tenere. Power, comfort, maneuver friendly, and it can take you far and beyond, and have a cup of coffee ☕ and a sweet 🧁 by the lake.😊

    Thank you for the video. May you be blessed with miles and miles of beautiful riding experiences. I am so happy you voted for simplicity, because as a biker that has over the years, had a variety of bikes, I am so happy I started as a student in India, riding a 100cc two stroke street bike all of 48000 km in less than two years along with college attendance - mostly on long trips, and I never faced a problem because I kept that bike in pristine condition. The simpler the bike, the more profound the riding. Of course good design is a huge plus, but there is simply no point inviting potential trouble with all kinds of complicated gadgets that give the bike too much of a brain of its own! Congratulations to you and Yamaha for being so well put together. Cheers!

    Pavlin, I have had my KTM 1290 SAR now for almost 4 years, and my average fuel consumption is 4.8 litres per 100km. I tend to also ride around 110 - 120km/h. So I do not know how people are using 6 litres per 100km. On another note; I see you prefer soft throw over panniers over soft side panniers with frames. Any comment on that?

    Of course it is a good travel bike. Others ride with a small or cheap round the world. As long as the bike fits your frame and your needs, perfect. I'd love to have a light and reliable bike, so something lighter than my old Transalp 600 will be needed. But the youngtimer will ride ACT and TET Romania next week. Saved me about 10,000 € compared to a new T7 ;-) A lot of money spent on travelling instead. Cheers from Nürnberg, Günter

    A tiny mistake is the fuel consumption of the 1250, I also was surprised that last trip (around 6000km) there was a 1250 and 1200LC. They both used around 4.5 liters of fuel. My 800 took 4liters. Concerning replacement of brake pads it takes 10 minutes on every bike I work on but I only have to replace them front around 60.000, rear around 40.000km. So while traveling don't need to bother. Oil change always takes around 10 minutes...while traveling my concern is what tools do I need, not the fact that it takes 10 or 15 minutes. Don't get me wrong I like the T7 but some arguments you have to look at from a wider perspective. Keep on shooting vidz I like your approach 👍🏻😉

T7 seems to be suitable for the kind of riding I want to do but most forums and youtubers advise to start on something smaller, with lower centre of gravity and lower power, like Honda Cb500x. I am 188cm tall.

    I'm 75 years old and have ridden motorcycles since I was 13. The T7 is an easy bike to ride. Nothing to distract you from normal riding (electronic aids etc). The motor is a peach and a lot less prone to easy stalling like some others. It'll pull easily between 2-3000 rpm in any gear. Only drawback for a more inexperienced rider could be its height. The T7 is TALL. These days I like to be able to flat-foot at a standstill. I have a 30'' inseam which is sort of OK for this bike if I were younger and didn't mind a bit of tip-toe. I've put 20mm lowering links on mine and raised the forks up to 18mm through the headstock. It's perfect for me as I can now get both feet firming on Mother Earth. Ground clearance isn't compromised for me as I dont do serious off road stuff these days. I spend some quite long days in the saddle and the Tenere 700 meets my requirements perfectly in both comfort and performance. I have 21,000 kms on mine now with no bother at all. I've done all my own routine maintenance from day one and just recently swapped out my spark plugs for Iridium's. Any easy bike to own and ride. One of the very best I've ever owned....and that's been a good many!

    If you maintain the bike properly and don't get into accidents, you should be ok. I've seen videos of people taking all sorts of bikes and scooters camping. from vespas to honda cubs, groms etc. the fact that you have a Tenere adventure bike, that is more qualify than the previous mention bikes.

    Bought one last year and had so many issues with it and found it pretty uncomfortable for me. Traded it in at the same dealer for a World Raid which has been great so far. Not as lively as the Aprilia but far more enjoyable to travel on and zero problems. Aprilia is ugly as F as well but I really wanted an Italian bike for some reason. Didn't cost much to do the swap and now 6500 miles in on the Tenere and wouldn't change it for anything. Cruise control is nice but doesn't make the bike.

    This motorcycle is too high. Top heavy. In long travel the most important is stability on any kind of weather. T7 is not good to ride in rain, its high and top heavy, and vulnerable on wind. And not protect sholders and chest from wearher conditions. Original wind glass is the worst i had because of turbulence. After research im using SHORT glass. T7 was not enginered, it was to be good looking motorcycle. I own tenere, and in 2 years i got 2500km. Still trying to make it usable and decent comfortable in long travels. Im always curious how everyone have so good petrol consumption. Its just lie. Noone ride to empty tank. And in reality, and important, fueling on cenral stand, i 250km about to blink reserve. On highway consumption rise very strong. And gs1250 or ktm1290, there isnt so much difference with high speeds. But i still try to make decent bike from t7. And im not suprised that t7 not have truvtion control or engine maps, because this engine is weak with power. Ok its enough but simple not mean always good. And tyres with tubes are very bad. And i dont belive any person if he say that on long traveling, without offroad, tubes are better.

    You need to buy a different bike. T7 is not for you. I love mine and it does all i want it to. The screen is bad and i have improved it. All bikes are a compromise. Dont buy a tenere if you need a GS or a Goldwing. I wish people would stop crying about tubed tyres. I would love to see you struggle to reseat your tubeless tyre in the middle of the desert with a hand pump or tiny 12V Compressor. Take a tube with you. It may save your life.
