I haven’t really tracked the mpg yet but it just seems to go through the fuel faster on a same route as other bikes I’ve had in the past.

Guess who is emotionally challenged, just read your own replies 😊 I had a LOT of bikes, few ktm’s, husky, bmw, ducati, triumph and so on… and i tried out also most of the actual available adv bikes. The tenere is a really good adv bike, probably one of the best available in this cubic range. Currently owning the tenere extreme edition… only fools or newbies would dare to say this bike sucks. There is a few bikes i didn’t like, that’s not a reason for saying they suck. I will just add one exemple why some people like me will be « trigger happy» about your video : you say the skid plate sucks, while you are doing offroad with pirelli rally str, fyi « str » stands for street. Makes no sense since your bike is not even properly setteld. And to add up, my 701 enduro 2023 had a stock plastic skid plate. Ps. The extreme edition has the chain guide, a better rally seat and better fork and shock. Also the range is good… i can sometimes reach 400 kms with 15 liters wich gives approx something like 60mpg, in my experience this is a great range for a 700cc. My 701 was way above in fuel consumption.

@@jrhaines30 your spot on, and realistically yeah the more we ask of the motor the more it gets thirsty! Most of the manufactures will list it on the brochure “55 MPG in BOLD” print then right below “on closed course going 50 mph” in the fine print, but yeah i think everyone wants the ability to go further, get off-road deeper and fuel consumption will hinder that at times. Off-road you don’t have to be going fast, wheel spin with loss of traction or the wrong tires can and will emulate that at slower speeds and still burn up that fuel. It’s an amazing bike to ride, really fun and very versatile ….
I've been riding different bikes for the last 20 years (including 7 on F800Gs and 3 on 850GS, recently sold my 701 Enduro) and in my opinion T7 would be an awesome machine, practically perfect, if they would: 1. fix that subframe with exhaust hanger that ruins swingarm after a minor drop and 2. Make it less top heavy. I very rarely drop bikes, but this one surprised me with how top heavy it was... and I dropped it on the dealers parking lot 😂 the rest are minor things. Range, right, but here in Europe gas stations are every other corner, so not such an issue as it is for you, but I get your point. Best!
@@rfk76 yeah once the t7 is moving the balance is great,Ike all adv bikes for the most part, but I found turning it around on a dead end trail off-road at slow speeds I could really feel that weight up high, and I’m considering the that acerbis oversized tank for longer off-road motocamping adventures later down the road but that’s gotta just make it even heavier up top.
There's the T700 Explorer in 2024 which is significantly less top-heavy. It comes 15 mm lowered (lower suspension with less travel) and can be additionally lowered by 18mm from the dealer. It was designed with longer touring rides in mind.
@@spring9603 I’m about to purchase a tall seat for my tenere, I’m a 32 inch inseam at 195-200 pounds and I’m flat footed on the bike, but I prefer a tall seat and lower peg mounts to open up the riding position on most of my dirt bikes and adv bikes due to past knee and hip replacements due to 100’s of motocross crashes over the years 😂
@@thodoris3790 they say don’t hate the player …. Hate the game! 😂 The T7 is an awesome machine, can’t wait to start throwing some shiny new aftermarket parts at it and see what it can do!!
@@ikutiap5923 truth! 😂 it really does suck, you go to get gas, unlock it, and think ok where does this loose cap go fkr a couple minutes with my key hanging out if it! Would have been awesome if Yamaha would have put a basic hinge on that damn thing!!
I have a T7, and everything you said is fair and I ended up addressing all these issues as well. One more thing I would add: the windscreen sucks too, but this is a common issue on ADV bikes due to that vertical tower. That being said, I love that bike, especially after running a few adventures and going through shit together!
@@ApocalypseNouille yep I think this bike in perfect oem set up would bump that price up pretty significantly, I love it so far and there is pretty much enough info out there and aftermarket support to address everything and really set these bikes up right!
Yep, you are bang on with everything you said. For a manufacturer like Yamaha the difference in cost to design and manufacture all the “sucky” parts would be negligible compared to doing it properly in the first instance. Not good enough. To top it off they have the cheek to charge us 15 to 20% premium on the MSRP compared to when they were first introduced.
@@BillyBoblovesthedirt yeah I was shopping for a new one the last couple months and damn the extra hidden fees on low advertised pricing and the BS salesman promises is strong out there! 😂I lucked out on this one uses but only 390 miles from original owner and a great otd price! I haven’t really looked into it but I would assume the crappy rear brake lever has to be something from their back parts shelf etc …..
@@user-eh9ms1rq1r The tank, seat and carrying space on the back of the seat is bigger on the T660 frame. The only thing T660 would need is a flatter seat and the T700 engine.
You do know Yamaha sells the World Raid / Rally edition with a much larger tank, seriously upgraded suspension, better seat, better handguards and taller windscreen. It's not like you didn't have the option. The base model is built to a really low price.
@@neonix01 you are absolutely 100% correct, and the videos intention is to point out the obvious price point level build in stock trim to potentially inform others of what you may experience in parts that are subpar at this price point, all these “Suck” items are really no big deal obviously they allow the bike to be sold in the $10k range, and all these short comings can be rectified through multiple offerings in the very deep aftermarket field. The bike is awesome, and some will choose to run the base model stock, others possibly buy a better equipped t7 model, I will do modifications as I see the need and build it specifically to my liking, I will share and document through the channel why I went that direction per item, the pros and cons and what it costs etc, it’s an awesome platform ….

@@joshuariel8732 yeah social media is a tuff and very emotional charged crowd these days! 😂 The Tenere is an awesome platform, all the low points are pretty easy to upgrade and the aftermarket companies strongly support this bike. I’m pumped to get started on desired modifications for mine, mainly using this for motocamping and some commuting etc, should be more than perfect for that type of riding …
I shouldn't comment. Sorry, my mistake. You need views and comments.

I don't know what you pay for these in the US. But everything you've mentioned is directly related to the price point. If you want a premium product you pay premium prices. This bike is cheap new (in comparison to others). Im not saying they're cheap overall!
@@Takutak866 completely agree with you in that, I think for a $10k price point it’s a great staring package and pretty inexpensive to make the needed or desired modifications and upgrades, or ride in stock trim if the stick bike works for the planned riding type etc
@@Takutak866 I will dump a few grand into this one and that should cover everything I want including upgraded suspension etc. I’ve owned a few ktm’s over the years, from 450’s, 690, 1290 etc, other than the 690 the ktm platform never really blew me away like others seem to feel, and the cost of ownership seemed to always be a bit higher than other brand offerings.

Im not a huge personal fan of the klr specs from what I have seen over the years however I will say the klr and drzs are a great and very capable platform to do just about anything on and priced very affordable with a very deep aftermarket support offering to make them your own etc. I have owned a couple of the drz 400 super Moto platforms back when they first became available and they were definitely limited in stock trim but very fun to ride around town. Side note: Travis Pastrana actually raced a Suzuki drz 400 in the Super-Moto class at one of the first XGames that offered the super Moto class and we had that bike on display in the lobby at our Suzuki race headquarters in chino for awhile and although it was heavily modified from stock it was a drz.

Most of that stuff works, but suck? i don't know it gets you by for 10 grand. Fun to mod bikes even KTMs anyway. Also what fuel milage are you getting? I'm getting 55-60mpg. If I'm just tooling around.
Agreed the bike will most likely get a lot of people by in stock trim but i have about a $3000 list of "fancy stuff" i'm going to want for setting up to my riding style and liking. Great platform though and i think Yamaha really nailed a consumer needed price point even though it has a few parts that kind of "suck" right out of the box ..... Im gonna pay attention to fuel milage next couple weeks doing a long slab only trip on these stock tires, then gonna do a few sections of the AZ BDR route out by me and track off-road milage. I might be getting over 50-55 but just seems to go fast similar to other adv bikes i have had over the years, i get fuel anxiety, and have definitely run out of fuel more than once out on adventures! I will probably do gas bladders for BDR routes and just a small msr metal fuel cell for local stuff, im not a big fan of the acerbis oversized tank but that is probably the best solution for extended range without strapping some extra stuff to the bike etc

I had a LOT of bikes, few ktm’s, husky, bmw, ducati, triumph and so on… and i tried out also most of the actual available adv bikes. The tenere is a really good adv bike, probably one of the best available in this cubic range.
Currently owning the tenere extreme edition… only fools or newbies would dare to say this bike sucks. There is a few bikes i didn’t like, that’s not a reason for saying they suck.
I will just add one exemple why some people like me will be « trigger happy» about your video : you say the skid plate sucks, while you are doing offroad with pirelli rally str, fyi « str » stands for street. Makes no sense since your bike is not even properly setteld. And to add up, my 701 enduro 2023 had a stock plastic skid plate.
Ps. The extreme edition has the chain guide, a better rally seat and better fork and shock. Also the range is good… i can sometimes reach 400 kms with 15 liters wich gives approx something like 60mpg, in my experience this is a great range for a 700cc. My 701 was way above in fuel consumption.

Most of the manufactures will list it on the brochure “55 MPG in BOLD” print then right below “on closed course going 50 mph” in the fine print, but yeah i think everyone wants the ability to go further, get off-road deeper and fuel consumption will hinder that at times.
Off-road you don’t have to be going fast, wheel spin with loss of traction or the wrong tires can and will emulate that at slower speeds and still burn up that fuel.
It’s an amazing bike to ride, really fun and very versatile ….
I've been riding different bikes for the last 20 years (including 7 on F800Gs and 3 on 850GS, recently sold my 701 Enduro) and in my opinion T7 would be an awesome machine, practically perfect, if they would: 1. fix that subframe with exhaust hanger that ruins swingarm after a minor drop and 2. Make it less top heavy. I very rarely drop bikes, but this one surprised me with how top heavy it was... and I dropped it on the dealers parking lot 😂 the rest are minor things. Range, right, but here in Europe gas stations are every other corner, so not such an issue as it is for you, but I get your point. Best!
@@rfk76 yeah once the t7 is moving the balance is great,Ike all adv bikes for the most part, but I found turning it around on a dead end trail off-road at slow speeds I could really feel that weight up high, and I’m considering the that acerbis oversized tank for longer off-road motocamping adventures later down the road but that’s gotta just make it even heavier up top.
There's the T700 Explorer in 2024 which is significantly less top-heavy. It comes 15 mm lowered (lower suspension with less travel) and can be additionally lowered by 18mm from the dealer. It was designed with longer touring rides in mind.
@@spring9603 I’m about to purchase a tall seat for my tenere, I’m a 32 inch inseam at 195-200 pounds and I’m flat footed on the bike, but I prefer a tall seat and lower peg mounts to open up the riding position on most of my dirt bikes and adv bikes due to past knee and hip replacements due to 100’s of motocross crashes over the years 😂

I have a T7, and everything you said is fair and I ended up addressing all these issues as well. One more thing I would add: the windscreen sucks too, but this is a common issue on ADV bikes due to that vertical tower.

@@ApocalypseNouille yep I think this bike in perfect oem set up would bump that price up pretty significantly, I love it so far and there is pretty much enough info out there and aftermarket support to address everything and really set these bikes up right!
Yep, you are bang on with everything you said. For a manufacturer like Yamaha the difference in cost to design and manufacture all the “sucky” parts would be negligible compared to doing it properly in the first instance. Not good enough.

I will probably do gas bladders for BDR routes and just a small msr metal fuel cell for local stuff, im not a big fan of the acerbis oversized tank but that is probably the best solution for extended range without strapping some extra stuff to the bike etc
Just the fact that you own a BMW tells us that there is something wrong with you. There are things for those who have no idea what is good, and things that are appreciated by true connoisseurs. You can't mix different things. Good thing you didn't say it sucks because it doesn't have a cup holder.
Maybe you'd like it better with a light show and a disco ball😂🤣
@@0043habara please share what is wrong with me in more detail if you could, the fact that “I owned a bmw” ohhh you got me there, so lame buddy so lame ….
I’m curious to know your logic as well understand your superior taste and direction on attempts to be funny typing away with your silly little thumbs on this electronic platform …..
Go for it, say something funny …
Hoooooooh shots fired! You just sunk a battleship😂😂😂😂 i love my t7
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@wrknclass1 it’s an awesome platform, with a couple fresh shiny parts it will be one of the most versatile adv bikes I’ve owned thus far….
This video "Sucks". What a cringey video to watch. T7's are awesome bikes, have you got a few hours to tell us what sucks about the 690 or one of your bmw😂. Usefull information like what I changed or what could be a better alternative would be helpful.
A chain guide ?? Just tension the chain properly !!!
@@peterkoning21 “a chain guide” and !!! exclamation points on your solid advice, that’s what you got out of this video? No wonder this society is going down so fast ….
Chain guides are installed on thousands of bikes from the manufacture including Yamahas, I wonder why they would design a bike with one and I also wonder why they don’t think the Tenere needs one …..
Thanks for stopping by,
How many miles are you getting out of a tank? And what sort of mpg?
@@jakeviolet2195 I just hit 1000 miles so I’m gonna try to track the next couple outings and bring my back up msr fuel can and try to turn this thing out of fuel to the max a couple times, once on strictly Hwy, then I’m mostly trails fire roads mixed with two track to get some better range gauges
Should have bought a World Raid tight arse.......
@@garycrombie2836 not sure that model is available in the US market and I’d actually much rather start just as I have with the base model, ride it stock, figure out what I do and don’t like, replace the inferior parts and then proceed to build this bike to my personal riding style not a generic blanket attempt at an upgraded oem model.
But that’s just my preference, bike # maybe 58 so far my in life, and not my first rodeo, and definitely not my last
Tight arse ….. what’s an arse?
Cubic dollars don’t always equal the right set up fur everyone …..
Thanks for stopping by ……. Ride safe out there
I bought 2 Tenere 700 I spent a bunch of money to make the bike the way I wanted and still hated the bike.sold them both within months. I did try twice but nope
@@ememcleaning4543 yeah I could definitely see someone not loving this platform even after heavy modifications. It really depends on what you are looking for, type of riding and what bikes you’ve liked over the years.
I love the bike for what it is, but it’s definitely one of the most underwhelming first impressions I’ve experienced on a new adventure bike in stock trim so far.
It kind of feels like a lot of “content creators” on social media these days either don’t have a lot of broad motorcycle experience to compare this to, or they just want to make feel good content without really pointing out short comings etc
La Tenerè è una moto fantastica, non necessita di aiuti di guida elettronici , è molto scorrevole e come ciclistica è di alto livello, assieme al motore cp2 , unico consiglio cerca di darti tempo per conoscerla , ti darà un sacco di grandi soddisfazioni

For $10,000 Biden Bucks it looks like we need to spend $20k on a bike to get something decent. I think I will settle with a DR650 or XR650L for $3k or under.
@@okinawanah3463 yep those Biden bucks don’t go very far these days!!
I had a couple drz 400’s back in the day!
It really doesn’t take much to enjoy exploring on two wheels, and the drz, klr, and xr platforms are inexpensive and extremely reliable machines …
Good luck finding $3k bikes any more!
The whole bike is a peace of shit with a reliable engine...I'm selling mine, had enough! Bought it brand new few months back 😢
@@netalantan4609 damn that’s unfortunate.
I can definitely see how this bike could be disappointing to some people, I guess I’ve owned much worse adv platforms over the years, and was able to get a pretty good idea of the short comings on the t7 before making the purchase. I also have some random health issues I’m battling with so a less aggressive adv bike is beneficial to that situation for me at this time, so It will fit the bill for motocamping and commuting for me, and I’m building my YZ 2 smoker for aggressive trail riding stuff for now …
Had enough what? Explain why you feel the bike sucks! Probably don't own one or know how to ride, jumped in over your head or fallowed the covid fad
I don't like the mirrors dur.... buy double take mirrors. Do you see any mfg use double take and 5mm skid plates. What next the exhoust....
@@user-eh9ms1rq1r what’s with the you hurt my feelings BS crying like a bitch on every comment you make? News flash bub, you’re clearly nothing special and the zombie apocalypse trial run … is that when you and half our society learned to be so weak and pathetic and assume they know shit and have to talk shit to everyone to attempt to make a point ….
Read the comments you make slowly, then look into the mirror in your moms house, say it out loud “I’m better than this, and I don’t need to be an emotionally weak bitch to converse with other people that are strong they will except me for who o am if I stop acting like an entitled know it all pathetic lil bitch” repeat that a few times and see if your balls drop …..

i love the tenere apart from the front view, however if they made a WR450 rally type for more off road than on road id pick the 450, if more than off road id pick the tracer 7 or 9 sorry,
@@googlelimp9834 yeah a proper 450 from any of the leading manufacturers set up as a rally bike would be epic!
I actually prefer the tenere 700 with the stock front end but I did always prefer the bmws and ktms with the high front fender for some reason…..
@@Adventure_Ready_Life wow now you need kiling for the KTM and depends on the size of BMW along as onlylike a 900 or less the 1200 and up are like buying a couch
@@googlelimp9834 yeah I’ve never been a fan of the larger bmw adv bikes, I’ve ridden a bunch over the years on off-road events, shop rides, motocamping etc usually helping the owners get them out of tuff spots during accidental off trail excursions! 😂 and I’ve always been impressed by their tractor like qualities but I definitely prefer as stripped down as possible for my adv type riding exploring etc ….
