Yamaha's ultimate adventure bike? - Absolutely, I think so. Absolutely marvellous bike.

Pretty glaring omission to not mention the Aprilia.

cheers from Greece ! a T7 lover !

Still patiently waiting for a Tenere 900 globetrotter, adventure king to be released. Cmaaaan Yamaha!

Are you sure that Yamaha released tenere 900 globetrotter???? because im ready to buy a world raid and i m thinking what will be the next tenere...😊

I would love an explanation for why Yamaha is not bringing ANY of the special models to the US?

About to either order an Extreme or a Tuareg 600, I think it's closest rival is the Aprilia Tuareg 660 which a lot of people over look and is one of the best all round ADV's a test ride on both will be the decider for me.

Aprilia tuareg is a much better bike.

Fantastic video. Love the new format, bike review and footage quality. More POV please.

This is good news for the ADV crowd. I have a 21 T7 which spends most of it's life on road. It's been flawless for me other than being a bit top heavy for off roading. Better tires and suspension was needed for dirt use.

Tell Yamaha to bring the extreme to America!!!

👍 I was a Yamaha guy for almost 4 decades. Picked up a Ducati DesertX because Yamaha ignores the US market. Congratulations Yamaha! Ignore your US customers, and they'll go away. 👋 The DesertX isn't even 1 year old yet has over 12.5k miles on it. 😊 Most riding has been done in north and west Texas.

This would sell in the US, if only they would bring it.

Onboard video looked great. Nice model.

It still has the weak exhaust hanger, and too much weight up high. My two main issues with the T7. (I sold mine) I loved the bike on the road. And I loved it on fast flowing off road. But it didn’t fill me with confidence when things got technical or very slippy. I loved it. But it wasn’t for me. Shame they haven’t addressed that very weak exhaust hanger on this latest version. A couple of drops on that side easily bends the hanger, which damages the swing arm. And because the hanger is a part of the subframe, it’s can be much more of an issue than it should be. (Even if they left the weakness but made it a bolt on hanger, that would make it much easier to address the issue. )

nice review...thanks mate...oh for a bigger garage...and more money!

Hello, this is a nice video, thank you for that. I have ridden Honda Transalp and then Africatwin since 1992 until last year. the rd03 650 cc the rd04 (warhorse) the best off-road/all-road. and twice the rd07 750 cc. I have a Yamaha World Raid. wonderful simplicity, super suspension, wonderful character CP2 engine. In other words, the perfect new replacement for the Africa Twin RD04. and super economical.🎉🎉

Super review 👍🏻🇨🇮

Great and informative video 👍🏻 But you should really have mentioned the Aprilia Tuareg 660 as the main competitor - and almost everyone who has ridden the Tuareg consider it superior to the Ténéré, regardless of model variant. Just saying.... 😉🏍️💨

Will this ever be available in the US?

Gotta ask, but are these "icon blue" as official? I love this color. I want this.

Gonna take a few years to save up but this is the bike I want.

I bought it, its my absolute favorite bike… and i got a lot of bike before it. But if you are a short rider forget it 😂

I know the beak is practical but to me it takes from the look of a beautiful bike.

The new BMW 900 enduro stacks up against this now too

Lovely bike, but still waiting for a tubeless option before I consider one.

Yamaha, listen up... We want a Tenere 900 with 105hp, cruise control, ABS, traction control, and fully adjustable suspension. Weight no more than 475 lbs.

Yep comparing complete different bikes. World raid is not even close.

The extreme model appeared on my local market a month ago and i cant take my mind off it. Too bad i’m poor 😭

I haven't ridden any T7, but all serious offroad reviews don't mention the weight per se, but more how top heavy the bike is. Ktm and Aprilia have proven that it doesn't have to be top heavy in this weight class, it would be good to see Yamaha try to get that weight down lower. I want this bike for its engine, but I think it will spend too much time offroad in soft sand and slower stuff

To me a 200kg twin should stay on the blacktop and gravel, not serious off road. You have to be big and strong otherwise, i aint. Sold mine, always worried i would get stuck when riding alone.

I had a 701 enduro rally modded and now i own the tenere extreme, this bike is very good in soft and medium offroad. It’s really an all rounder. For hard enduro even the 701 was too heavy… so what ? Most people would be blown away about this bike’s capacity. It’s a very good bike that doesnt fear mud or doing 4 hours on tarmac…

Eh... needs more power and a bolted sub frame and bolt on exhaust hanger..on top of better suspension. Still a great bike

I feel I am watching a commercial. No real criticisms, gloss over mention of competitors. Bought and paid for by Yamaha. This is not a review - it is a product presentation - which is fair, except it is dressed up to be a 'review'.

“Good for touring” you say? Not long distance touring day after day on asphalt. This one leans to the dual sport side…heavy on the adventure and less on the touring when it comes to adventure touring.

Sad thing is, this motorcycle is incredibly tall (910mm seat height) and it has the fuel tank above that. Another tall people only bike.
