    So great to see a straight to the point and unbiased review! So many "reviewers" these days seem to be afraid of pointing out any compromises or anything remotely negative out of fear of not being invited to future events.

    • @HUSKY7-1
      @HUSKY7-1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Many so called reviewers these days are just free loaders with their own agenda of self promotion in this ' look at me, look at me' generation and no real reviewing skills or ability to dissect and verbalise a bike's pros and cons.
      Brake magazine is the exact opposite of this, by far and away the most professional, unbiased, articulate and accurate reviews I have come across.
      As someone else already mentioned in the comments, you can almost feel the way the bike rides from listening to the review.
      Well done Brake Magazine.

    I think the Yamaha team was very smart to offer the Tenere 700 in this foundational package to start with an eye towards adding S and R models in the future. As you've noted, the bike is going to appeal to a lot riders and encourage them to ride farther. And feel great about what they've accomplished - which is what it's all about!

    Just placed my deposit (Feb. '20) and am torturing myself watching vids like this until it arrives in June. Having fun shopping for and buying accessories for it: HEED crash bars, Tusk MOLLE rackless luggage over an SW Motech tail rack, SW Motech center stand, HEED crash bars, Adventure Spec skid plate, GIVI S310 auxiliary lights, Pivot Pegs. Seems like many North American manufacturers/retailers are not building/stocking many accessories for these bikes yet. Most are European sourced. They better get with the program in the US and Canada, because Yamaha is going to sell a gazillion of these bikes here.

Glad to hear you can do long motorway days too as that’s a necessary evil that any adv bike needs to cater to. Top bike overall.

    Best review of the Tenere, i wish i saw that before buying one...5:54 - is spot on! It's not a adrenalin pump bike, if you after one don't fool yourself - you won't be happy with it. It's not ready to race - it's ready to plod along, and God forbid dropping it offroad - plastics are not even enduro type - they are same as on road bikes and they cracking very quickly. They are also painted (not colour molded) so they will scratch badly offroaad, and as they are matte finish you wont be able to polish out scratches :-/

    The 2020 Yamaha T700 (Tenere) is a good basic bike. *_I strongly suggest_* you avoid the temptations by the industry &
    dealers making their videos on the T700. Never, ever buy a brand new design i.e. 1.0. WAIT about two to three years for the:
    - fixes to the design bugs & issues
    - improvements/modernizations like on the Honda Africa Twin & now Adventure Sport version
    - aftermarket parts & accessories to be available
    - for other folks not wise enough to wait, to buy it and spend their money not yours
    Something to think about that I am sure the video maker agrees with.

    Would be a great addition to the reviews if you could add some video with the sound of the engine in different circumstances, including tick over & what it sounds like in real time when it rides by the camera & perhaps at slower speeds on off road trails?

    My favorite type of ADV riding is long-distance trips to third world countries, and this is the bike we've been waiting for: capable, comfortable, forgiving to ride, simple and cheap! Complicated electronics are a liability in countries where you might have to truck your bike to the capital and wait three weeks for your part to be shipped in. Simple is so much better. Yamaha have shown they really understand the adventure traveler biker.

    In Canada a past year but new Vstrom 650 was 4,600 pounds. That is aggressive pricing. Like the 700 though.

    Well done review Thank You i think most modern bikes with foul injection suffers from jerky throttle when you start do to the lean mixture mapping of the engine
    it is extreme on big singles like the Yamaha XT 660ZA Ténéré but it can be helped a lot by simply mounting a booster plug in series with the intake temp censor.

    • @BrakeMagazine
      @BrakeMagazine  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      They were problematic but slowly people are figuring it out. For a lot of more recent bikes, electronic throttles have helped.
      The biggest problem is the emissions.

    Thank you for this review, best review of the Tenere ti date, totally honest with pros and cons. When you say it was good at highway speeds, what rpms are we talking about at 100-120km/h? Nobody seems to be able to answer that question.

    • @BrakeMagazine
      @BrakeMagazine  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question. I tried it at everything from 100 to 180. It seemed really comfortable at 130km/h cruising. No vibration, not reving hard.

    @YvesPausch 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Excellent review with a lot of details and - remarkably - lack of overwhelming excitement about the event in Tortosa which probably leads to extremely biased reviews because of its awesomeness in itself. The people there felt again what and how great riding a motorbike actually is. It might not have taken a Tenere700 to feel that. ;)

    • @BrakeMagazine
      @BrakeMagazine  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Precociously. It's important to keep that in check, because it was exactly that. A super fun place, with great riding and great people.
      In isolation, I think it's still a great bike.

    I remember dual sport/ adv use to be the cheaper intros into the motorcycle world. Now it's a title a brand. More sophisticated and technologically advanced motorcycles for the street costs thousands less... $10k+ for this "barebones" adv bike. These bike dealers are making a killing on profits these days.

    Thank you for a very helpful review.
    One comment is that another reviewer pointed out that their (a couple with 2 T7s) bikes leaked fuel from that ugly cap when tipped over.
    And one question about the ABS: you commented that the ABS was not as functional off-road under some circumstances. But I understand that the system is switchable (at least the rear??). So how does your observation align itself with the ability to turn off the ABS?
    Thanks again. This was a truly in-depth and practical review.

    • @BrakeMagazine
      @BrakeMagazine  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Our comment was that the ABS isn't great off-road. If you turn it off the brakes are fine.
      I didn't crash one to test the fuel cap sorry.

      Larger LED projectors, should do well. My MT-09 has 4 LED projectors, but the lens diameters are smaller. I bet this T7 lights up the night pretty good.
