  I really want one. I have had a blast putting big miles on the Norden 901 and am wanting a ES 700 for exploring local trails and hitting single track. The lower maintenance and the ability to ride for hours of the interstate at 80mph are why I would choose it over the 500cc European bikes as well.

• 
  @Motorcycleholic5 ай бұрын

  The only thing to consider regarding 500cc is lower weight, for me lower service intervals won the 700 👍 it is a very capable bike 😎

  Thank you for taking the time to post your review. As a fellow Expedition owner I can say that I agree completely with your assessment of the bike itself and the comparison with the T7 and GS. I sold my BMW RT and T7 and now have only this bike in the shed. I picked it up June 1st 2023 and it has now got 11,750 miles including a reasonable amount of off road in the UK and the ACT in Italy. I have ridden the GS1200 and 1250 many times over thousands of miles when renting abroad. My view is that if the intention is only ever to stay on the tarmac the GS is a better bet, but as soon as you go off tarmac the Exped suspension and low COG are absolute game changers in terms of confidence. And, it really isn't far behind the GS for on road (tarmac) performance. Would you mind if I ask what tyres you mainly use? I usually go with Mitas. E09 on the rear when doing RallyMoto events in the UK. For European tours inc the ACT I use the E07+ as it gives good mileage. In both instances I pair it with a TKC80 on the front.

  Thank you for your comment. I use Motoz Adventure sets as I have good experience with them, they should last me over 5K miles a set mixed tarmac and off road. On my T7 I had Motoz RallZ and they have been brilliant- lasted approximately 4K miles. Both are quite confidence inspiring off road. I found Mitas not suitable for my riding style and not lasting long. I also don’t find TKC80 any good off-road. If you haven’t tried Motoz yet I recommend you do.

  Thanks again, I think you nailed it by 700cc/660 (Aprillia) is too small for long distance travelling (was 4 weeks to Spain & Morocco this year) but fun off-road. My 1200cc GS is absolutely perfect on long distances but far too heavy off-road as I’m not one of those KZread-dune-jumpers on even heavier bikes. Not able to … So you have supported me on my theoretical opinion. A practical test is coming up soon. Looking forward to it 🤸🏻‍♂️🤸🏻‍♂️

  @pezi87310 ай бұрын

  Hi, thank you for your quick reply. You‘re absolutely right, we have to compare apples to apples but I‘m searching for my sweet spot. Shall I stick to my reliable aircooled GS (1250 GS was too heavy and expensive for me)? Or something lighter like T660, T7? Or something between like 901? That’s why I’m testing many bikes to find out what fits best to my riding style and riding habits (on-/offroad, travelling, commuting etc.) The standard 901 I liked the most was except wind protection (should be fixable) and overheating. That’s I was asking you. Anyway, I arranged a test ride with the 901 exp this week. All the best and a lot of fun Peter

• 
  @Motorcycleholic10 ай бұрын

  Welcome. Wind protection is better on Expedition but not perfect for me being almost 2 meters tall. Also needed bar risers. Again no issue with heat but heard that from few people maybe because I use off road boots I don’t feel it… For me Norden Expedition hits the sweet spot - if I could only have one bike this is it 🤘😀 I personally found 700cc too small on the road mainly but great off-road. Worth mentioning electronics on Norden Exp. are brilliant and much better than T7 and some other bikes I tested, I love the way off road mode works - it is absolutely fantastic . Let us know what you decided later on I look forward to hearing from you!

  Hi Still riding a 2010 1200 GS ac with 105000 km, extremely reliable, I’m about to buy a replacement bike but … After testing a few bikes I couldn’t find one. - 901 Standard Model: I liked everything (wind protection 👎) until I came into the city in summer. The heat coming to my legs was unbearable. Deal breaker. What about this on the Expedition?? - Yam T7: not close to the GS when it comes to handling. Lack of power when fully loaded. Tube tyres are deal breakers anyway. Overrated in my opinion - Tuareg 660: my favourite up to now. Best handling on-/off-road, lightweight, fun to ride. Missing some power. Due to the dealer network in Europe and Morocco I wait buying it - Transalp 750: I miss excitement and off-road capabilities. Tube tyres - V-Strom 800: Not tested. Why should I buy such an ugly bike with the same weight as my GS but less cc, hp, nm?? Peter

  @Motorcycleholic10 ай бұрын

  Hi, thanks for your comment, everybody has their own experience with different Bikes. I just presented mine. For example I don’t have any issue with overheating with Norden. Everything feels right. I also have different experience with GSs my friend recently returned from trip around Europe on AA trailer so not very good. I had 2018, GS and it had to have drive shaft replaced due to rust so I was very happy with reliability. I think we have to start comparing apples to apples bike with 700 cc engine, will always fall behind 900 cc like Yamaha Tenere in regards to performance comparison with Norden. So everyone has to find their own sweet spot and ideal bike. I’m just voicing my opinions for me if I had more space in the garage on might get Ducati Multistrada instead of GS as on gravel roads it could be equally fine. Good luck with finding your replacement bike.

  If you stay in the western world, with a dealer close, the Husqvarna is the better choice. If you go on adventure to Africa, Australian Outback, South America, Middle East, Asia, better take the Tenere, and add the after market cruise control and baseplate. Yamaha parts are widely available everywhere in the world. While Husqvarna motorcycle parts are a real challenge to find in Iran, Mongolia or Paraguay, to name a few.

  I was about to order the Tenere back in April when the Norden Expedition came out. I live at 4,000' el on the US/CA border. Summers are very short, so any bike I got would need heated grips and seat to extend my riding season as much as possible. I also ride solo most of the time, so I wanted a center stand and grab handles. I also wanted cruise control and a decent TFD display with good ride configuration ability in the electronics. When I added all those to the Tenere I was only $1,000 (US) short of the Expedition and would have to do all the work myself to upgrade the Tenere. And that still didn't take into account the WP Explor suspension which is standard on the Expedition and one of the best in the Adv field. I've had my Expedition a month now, and have no regrets and love the bike.
