Ahhh... Nick's passion for motorcycling and travelling is an inspiration!
Diego, thank you sir, just trying to pass on the enthusiasm - take care:) Nick
Enjoyed watching the heritage and history that Yamaha is associated with and, in part, created. The Ténéré is an amazing adventure bike. Thank you! Ride safe.
My wife is half french, definitely gonna suggest she watches this so she understands why I bugger off on my Ténéré 😂
Wow, powerful, the segment with the photographer taking the image of the little boy actually brought tears to my eyes, just thinking that the child has probably never seen himself prior to that picture....amazing that there are still places in this world like that, there is still that innocence and wonder to be found and that something as simple as a picture can be that special...
Fascinating, a deep look through the camera lens and into mans soul and passion for peaceful adventure in a troubled world. It's a Wonderful Life, just get on your bike and explore what is waiting for you.
He’s a top bloke
"I ride motorcycle because it makes me happy" Exactly!
So true
Over the last few weeks this has pretty much become one of, if not my favorite TH-cam channel. Loving the content; all of it. From the crazy adv rides like DRZ’s swimming up north, to Nick, to the fantastic and detailed Tenere 700 discussion. Just brilliant. Thanks Dave, Nick, Clubby, professor, danny Jackman, yager, and everyone else I haven’t named yet...!
Expedition Ranger, you are welcome:) Without the considered audience that MAD TV clearly has who would we be broadcasting to, so it's our pleasure to entertain and maybe glean something new:) We will endeavour to do this sir! Nick
Thanks Nick for these pure moments of dream. Best regards from France.
Et merci de moi Pierre, thanks for getting in touch sir:) Nick
Getting a bike and heading out on adventures was and is one of the best things I ever did and do in my rather mundane existence. Keep inspiring, Mr Sanders!
David, you bet sir so how about you starting thinking of that great ride you've promised yourself? I will keep going as best I can and if you need a book of download just go to my site. Take care sir:) Nick
Thanks Nick for putting this together.
I really want to buy a new Tenere 700 - really - because or despite the most elaborate Yamaha ad I've ever seen - albeit a brilliant documentary by Nick Sanders that really takes you on a journey that most of us will only ever dream of.
So good to hear your voice again Nick! I miss those days in Pott Shrigley, with you, Janey and your dog (and the mandatory bath ! :) )
There are some wonderful rides in Northern Cyprus - you'll always be welcome so come soon and stay a while xx
Nice of you to get in touch Ian and a lovely offer to see you and Tina. I think there might be a chance next year when I possible ride the coast of Europe. Funnily enough I'm going to see Rog in Mallorca in 4 weeks or so, spoke to him last night and still i touch with Janiie - yes, those baths, you were both very kind:) Nick
Really enjoyed this. Thank you.
A pleasure sir:) Nick
Great video.thanks for all the footage Nick, you are living the dream.
It doesn't feel like a dream but I know what you mean - my job is to get viewing figures up for the bike and Yamaha and we're kind of doing ok. Your time watching it is appreciated sir.Nick:)
Great Video Nick!! Emotional!! loved it!! Thank you very much!!
Savardr6 - sir, thank you - hairs on the back of your neck!?:) Nick
By far the best commercial I’ve ever watched @yamaha ..! I’m in.. :)
I'm glad you like it Jersey Jeeper, and thanks for getting back to us:) Nick
Beautifully done and a joy to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant video Nick thank you for sharing with us all, safe travels 👍🇬🇧
A pleasure Dave. And if I may say please check out my website for books and downloads - signed copies? :) Nick
Awesome video, very informative. At times very emotional. I really enjoyed this. Thank's for making this!!
Jannik, thanks and we enjoyed making it for you:) Nick
Top shelf. Thank you so much for this one
Glad you enjoyed it
I love my Tracer 700, and aspire to own a Tenere 700.
Aspire to own both at the same time? That would be cool!
Wow , absolutely fantastic . Thanks Nick
Thanks Rod Nick
Outstanding, Nick you really captured the essence of the Tenere.
Thanks Blue Sky - the historical stuff was good wasn't it? Nick
Wondering how a video about a motorcycle can leave me so emotional. Must be the audio track.
Great film that mirrors EXACTLY what has been in my mind ever since young me thought about adventure travel on a motorbike.
I'm still far, far from being able to do it but when I dream, I dream of trips like yours.
Keep on keepin' on, Nick!
How kind Daniel - we are trying to do more and more like this - it's more than the music, it's about authenticity, I believe heartily in that - stay in touch, get a book and follow MAD TV for the next film:) Nick
As a guy who makes ads, and as the owner of a KTM 950 SE, I say with love and respect for the craft in play here that... this was an eloquent sonnet rendered most badassedly.
Nick Sanders is a great asset for Yamaha. I am going to buy this bike. First bike in mi life.
Good Calin, you will NOT be disappointed and stay in touch:) Nick
Fantastic. This is a video that needs to be watched more than one time.
Thanks Motonut, we do our best and it was very detailed, thank you for your time:) Nick
Really enjoyed this, Thank You Nick.
Thanks for letting us know Ron, you're a gentleman.:) Nick
Great story, entwining the history of a great bike with it's origins.
Loved it.
Happy travels
Thankyou Mr Tenere Traveller - safe travels yourself sir. Nick
Great story and history behind the Tenere name Nick. Many thanks for making such an inspirational video.
I want to like Morocco, but had a bad experience there in Agadir in the 80's, can't say I will ever return.
Irish Rover, I had a bad time in Tangiers about the same time and said the same as you but after a while I was persuaded to go back and I swear I haven't looked back. Trust me, it's one of the kindest countries I have been too and very very safe. I've been 20 times mostly taking clients with me on guided journeys - have a think, get back to me, it's a great place and I'm going again next May. Take care:) Nick
Thanks alot for uploading such a informational video. I really enjoyed a lot and felt that even I was part of this journey. Great one !! Wish you many more safe miles ahead !!
Snehal, loving the considered comments, very well thought it - what a nice change to see an internet site so polite and thoughtful:) Nick
Definitely worth waiting for! Look forward to it. Cheers, Steve
Thanks Steve:) Nick
Fantastic video😊👍
Love it, great history and shots😀😀👍👍👍
Good lad, I took a lot of time on this, glad you enjoyed it but I believe my audience deserves good filming:) Nick
Cheers for this Nick. All the best.
Thanks Phil and thanks for getting in touch. Nick;)
Excellent film Nick a real pleasure to watch.
Les, thanks mate, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Take care fella:) Nick
nick watched all your video,s yes i am a yamaha man and love em ,but watch your vids what ever bikes you ride just so interesting cheers!!
Great stuff Nick , love the filming and narrative, and really enjoyed the old footage from the Dakar. I like the fact that my bike has a great pedigree...some history behind it. Cheers, Steve
Super pedigree and we are adding to it - great isn't it - exciting times:) Nick
Oh man! How I love your movies! Great inspiration, superb quality, great images. I hope to get T7 ona day and start my journey at least TET or something out of tarmac 👏👏👏👏
Really nice footage. Alot of praise is deserved for completing so many races and surviving odds. The grit and patience of our grand generation is always commendable from a motorcycling perspective.
I agree Wick, we've been a real biker generation, I mean wow! We have LOVERD our bikes and so will this continue. Nick
So True my first love an RD250, RD350, later on after a few others for 13 years FJ1100 now a Xt660z. Good on ya!
Thanks Mate. Gracias amigo.
Enjoyed that. Thanks 👏👍
Excellent and thank you.
Great video! Really inspiring
Thanks Mord
Great video Nick. Always a pleasure to see your travels. Waiting on the T7 here in California. May not be traveling the world, but definitely see that it is worthy of a true cross country trip. Nicely done Nick.
Alex, great that you watched it, thank YOU and really take care...:) Nick
Just ordered mine. Been waiting since 2016!
Ben, you'll love it:) Nick
Oh finally!
Those 20 and 30 second clips were a tease!
Hope you like it Danny
Loved it!
Great film Nick! I enjoy watching all things Tenere 700 until I finally take delivery of mine hopefully in the next few weeks. Keep up the great work and take care of yourself and that beautiful family.
Thanks Skip, we must look after our families eh? And you enjoy your delivery when it arrives:) Nick
@@nicksanders7110 If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? I'm trying to figure out how the bike is going to fit and if I need the rally seat for the extra height. Thanks
Great video 👍
Thanks
Exciting.... I'm waiting!!!
It'll happen my friend and when you get it it'll last your lifetime...:) Nick
Really Epic, Nice 🙏
Thanks Joe, it is a good informative film isn't it? Nick
very very nice great Job!
Thanks Fred
I love this. Record more. I hooked. I will buy a tenere 700. I love this video.
Thanks Gungor - it's a beautiful bike, you can go anywhere:)! Be safe and let me know when you get one? Nick
This is just awesome
Thanks Charlie, totally welcome, a great pleasure:) Check out the autobiography if you feel so inclined?
Nick
Wonderful.
Thank you Nick.
Got a T7 test ride booked next week, barring monsoon rains.
Want one. Badly. Just gotta juggle the finances.
Kind regards from NE Thailand,
Go Mike, you'll love it! Nick
Fantastic work! We just got the T7 in the US and I think it is going to be a game changer.
Dave, there is a detailed review of the T700 on this channel that is worth a look.
BLUF: not a Tenere owner, but loved the way I found myself dreaming as I watched your video! Truly remarkable experience (yours and Dakar's) and this movie did not fell short of the content of your other videos! Please keep it up Sir, and if you happened to drive through Portugal one day, it will be my pleasure to buy you a coffee in exchange for a "5' conversation"! Looking forward for your next video... Safe travels!
Henrique, a coffee with you in the future? Book me in:) Stay in touch via MAD TV and there will be more sir....::)) Nick
I wish all motorcycle companies took their product to heart inasmuch as Yamaha did with the Ténéré 700. A beautiful mixture of crazy, dare, nostalgia and raw bike power! Hats off Yamaha from a KTM 1290 SA-T rider.
R12 guy, yep I agree - they are really passionate about it all in the office, needs to be seen to be believed:) Nick
Tres beau video. Supert beau.
Andre, chest mon pleasir, certainment...Nick
Have owned and ridden Yamaha for 45 years, have 2 660 xtz Tenere and cannot wait for the 700 to FINALLY arrive. Yamaha, you really have not looked after us, your enthusiastic followers and supporters; the bike is way overdue!
I agree but David it's out now so if you get a chance to ride one, enjoy it - thanks for watching:) Nick
I have a 2010 Xt660z not sure I should take the plunge for the 700, thoughts?
So .... after Yamaha messed me around for a further 6 months, I bought the KTM790R. Not forgetting my decision and love it!
Would like to try the Yamaha for comparison, but the KTM has the edge on a lot of things I think; power, suspension, low CoG, ....
If you like the XTZ though, I do believe the new 700 will be a great machine!
wonderful adventure. good.
Thanks Red Sunny:) Nick
Great work Nick now you need to spur change for the super Tenere.
Great film Nick big tenere fan myself owner of the xt1200. Certainly like the 700 Morocco on the list.Stay safe 👍
Thanks Glyn, the 1200 is a super bike, much misunderstood and sadly underbought but the 700 is also very interesting. I'm glad you enjoyed the film, Take care. Nick
Great video, reminds me that I really really want to take my bike to Morocco. Sorry though, I'll use my Himalayan!
Go for it!
Nick, where can I find thew contrinuation video of your America to Sidney journey, please? It ends in Ushuaia with a bike kit report at the end. Would love to see you crossing Australia? Many thanks for your vids!
Lovely, exciting video! Thanks! I'd buy a Tenere 700 if it had cruise control. Too many very long stretches of highway here in NA.
Glad you like it Malik - great. Nick
Nah. To many bikes with too much tech nowadays. Need more like the tenere that are low tech, simple and reliable True adventure bikes.
Throttle lock $20 - 'Problem' Solved
@@AGardenShed So true, and all this tech is just more layers for something to go wrong, while giving you 'benefits' of having less to do and think. I mean, my old KTM 640 Adventure would be simply enough, if I was first owner so that I could trust it fully. And it even has the kick starter working with flat battery in addition to the electric starter, and 28 l tank. Only BMW air hads and Tenere 600 1VJ did that trick too.
I miss that concept, but T700 is the closest currently available, so be it. It is smallish tank, but there already solutions for that. Now if I only could make my choice about color ;-)
People outside of France don't understand just how big Yamaha are in that country and how fond the people are of that brand. The singles have been a cult bike there since the 70's. I think its one of those rare countries that actually outsells Honda.
Michael, you are right - the Froggies LOVE Yamaha and I tell you, they love riding their bikes, real passion - good point:) Nick
Well done Gentlemen, Well done.
Thank you Mr Greek:) Nick
FINALLY!! Looking forward to seeing it
Quite - AT LAST!!!!!!:) NICK
Here's the deal. It's the passion of people that eat ,sleep & breath motocycles. No matter the brand. Nick is living the dream of every person that busts his hump 5- 7 days a week . I for one would give my left nut to do or see all of these things on a motorcycle.
Am convinced that the 700 tenere can handle great distances...can you please tell us about the gear you have in this video,from the helmet to the boots...the brands and everything.Thanks much
Really great video as always, but it is hard to start a new adventure with the Tenere 700 if you cant find em in a store in the USA East Coast. You talk to Canadiens and they have no problem getting a T7. In the US there is zero inventory between Philly, Baltimore, Washington DC, Richmond. Than you have a dealer in Tampa FL with 4 in the shop. What is the distribution deal with the USA? Is it tarifs or any other trade restrictions? Just being curious,
Still shortages in Australia as well, but should be overcome in late July August.
and here i am reminiscing when i bought my yamaha xt500 back in 1981 ,the one that started it all. should i buy the tenere?
Sir, hmm, well, why not? I'm not a salesman, but it's cheaper and better in the essential ways - robustness, simplicity, reliance on mechanicals rather than electrics than the others...so!!:) Let me know what you decide....Nick
Nick, you are tonic and a top man. I have a Tenere Xt660z, love her to bits. My GSA1200 Adventure was pinched, got the ten same year (2010) ... I got over the shock and although my arse suffers more on 8-10 hour ride than the BMW, I look after her myself and understand the bike, no fancy stuff. Totally get it ... perfect for proper trips, not to the shops I mean! One question, I am tempted to but the 700, I'm 67 and have the dosh but I'm paranoid it will get nicked (East London) ... is it worth the worry? I am torn whether to keep the old girl or sell her for a young lass... what do you guys think?
BTW not boasting but 11,000 mile trips many times 50 years without a break on many a motorcycle. You are the don, I know and so many other too but I want to give a better idea of who is typing this.
Keep up the great work in explaining how wonderful this world really is and not about showing off. Love James!
Get a big lock, wait a minute, I know where one is.....on my bike!
Hi Nick, love your videos..what is the best setting for the rear shock with full load?
Scudz, best setting...hmm, if I were you I'd check out another MAD TV film that deals with this in detail - they really are the experts, but the factory settings are not bad, depends on your weight and what you are carrying so hard to say, but good to hear from you:) Nick
@@nicksanders7110 thanks for the reply nick.. did you use the same oem shocks and factory settings in your trip?how did it hold up?
@@scudzmofo1413 I did and it held up very very well - like around the world no problem, you'll be fine sir. Now do check out the downloads if you are interested, they will inspire you:) Take care Nick
Keren bgt
Senang kamu menyukainya:)Nick
I think it would sell better if the price was more competitive. A fully kitted t7 here will cost pretty close to a KTM 890, and that bike has traction control and cruise control.
Both bikes are lovely to ride.
You ridden an R1 at anytime, I think your name rings a bell....I am a Yam fan.
I have 3, one is an XT660R and kills it in my bubble, and 2x tdr 250 hehe
and one has showroom mileage too))
Well, I tested this bike with my wife today and I must say I was very surprised how easy it was to drive two up, I went on uphills, stoped then start again and never felt the engine was suffering. It won’t be a missile in term of torque but it has plenty for everyday use. If I decide to buy it, I will change some things like putting tubeless rims and firmer springs. What is great as well is the minimum of electronics. Yamaha may has started a trend...
Mr Paulo, you might be right.....and as for the wife well done her - enjoy it together sir:) Nick
One day i will own a T7 and travel around the earth with it, just need to complete the nursing school first:)
I'm rooting for you. Thank you for choosing a noble profession.
@@expatbiker6598 thanks 😊
How did you get across the Darien Gap?
Not on this journey by the way, but on others, I flew
Can’t believe I just watched a half hour Yamaha ad
Got you!:) Yea, I know it was about Yamaha, but the bike is the star of the moment so I'm running with it and I'll do another film soon:) Nick
It felt more like an hour! An hour of daydreaming!
or National Geographic. :(
I think the intended target audience for the video is Yamaha execs.
@@TerryMasri Pleasure and I hope you enjoyed it:)
This is Aussie time right? So in Europe I should be able to watch it over breakfast tomorrow?
2pm Amsterdam time
Com eon Danny BomBom, you can watch it while you eat your corn flakes:)Nick
@@nicksanders7110 Awesome video Nick. I loved every second of it. Also I watched it at home, after the kids have gone to bed. Probably watch it again tomorrow over breakfast!
It’s us who make adventure. The bikes are our tools. I’m going riding...
Yo!! YOU ARE RIGHT!! Nick:)
WR400-500R/X please.
I think the premier thing is pretty annoying. Love the videos though 🌼👍
Two reasons. It's popular and there is an embargo on releasing until that time.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV okay.
Hey Cobs, tell me why you think about it when you watch it. Nick:)
@@CobsShowcase Yea, it was a Yamaha thing:)
@@nicksanders7110 It was great! very Interesting and inspirational 👍
Great Vid but no mention of the XT500 Yamaha .. ? The first winner of the Dakar in 1979 & and again in 1980 with the first four places .. from a video that talks about tradition & heritage, having no mention of it is either lazy or done on purpose because it wasn’t a a Tenere.
But a Yamaha XT500 has won the Dakar twice, it’s quite a feat.
My brief was not a history of the Dakar but the word 'Tenere' but mainly to ride the first Tenere 700 to Dakar and the XT500 wasn't a Tenere. So everything post 1983 was what I looked for. Nick
No mention of stephane peterhansel
It wasn't a history of the Dakar, but a story about the world Tenere.
🇧🇷🤠👍
i love you biker EU
هيا انتظر
Yes, wait :)
sat in cote d'armor bretagne watching this good starting point ;0) but i will ride my BMW 1150 Rockster ( modified of course) ;0) to GS spec
It's a pleasure Steve vive le bike, whatever it is! Nick
Look like Lac Rose is anti-climatic for sure proving again, it's not the destination but the journey. You are a hell of a salesman Nick.
As if we don't want a T7 after watching this !
Henry...:) you KNOW you do....ha ha...take care:) Nick
In french please
J'ai demandé de faire une traduction, laissez-la moi:) Nick
Nicks script is beautifly prosaic ...if rather loud
Yes, a bit loud, sorry...my hearing you know!!! Nick
Just make sure motorcycle company not replace their ice motor with ev bike...
Western Sahara issue aside. I should not have watched this as the wanderlust is in full swing now. The call of the desert is clear and loud again....
It's a difficult one this wanderlust isn't it Mike - I empathise - Ive spent my life having to deal with it - good luck sir:) Nick
19:27 from there they went to Samara in occupied Western Sahara. Something that I felt the race never properly acknowledged. That is they needed Moroccan cooperation to race through Morocco's illegal occupation of its neighbour. Morality went out the window in order to secure access.
27:05 given Morocco and Mauritania don't have a common border that's clever. That is the border between *Western Sahara* and Mauritania.
32:53 Western Sahara doesn't get a mention.
I agree with you about the camps there, atrocious and excellent that you bring it up. Nick
I don’t want to hear anything from the French. We want the Japanese behind the engine that so reliable
loved it until i saw you wash your hair in someones well
Actually the water from my hair did not go back into the ceramic container so there was no contamination. Also the amount of water used was very little when you consider the rivet Nile was a 100 metres away
@@nicksanders7110 Sorry Nick.The clip looks like the water blows back into a well . Ill take your word for it and apoligize, Amazing videos,tours and life you live
@@blairmitchell7822 Blair, a polite understanding of the situation is superb, thank you. I appreciate what you were saying plus the use of someone else's water, but there was amazingly lots of very cold water and they were set up for passing travellers. No, nothing went back into those pots - thanks for getting back to me:) Maybe check out www.patreon.com/nicksanders and let me know if you fancy getting deeper into the story. Take care Blair
