- Former British two-stroke motocross champion Dave Willet has his first experience of adventure bikes on board Yamaha's 2022 Tenere 700 and Tenere 700 World Raid.
Riding on everything from fire roads and grassy meadows to rutted hillsides and stream crossings at the Yamaha Off -Road Experience in mid Wales, he puts the 700cc parallel twins through their paces. In sun, rain, hale and all the weather conditions under the sun!
Check out the awesome scenery and see if the bike was fun on the dirt or just a touch too much... - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I did`nt understand why people complain about the tank capasity. If you ride offroad then 300+ km are way enough for an entire day. Petrolstations are nearly everywhere. That few people who are really in a remote area can take some extra fuelcan to be safe. But even in africa there is petrol availible every few hundret kilometers. But this is only my own opinion. For me, it`s the best bike i ever owned.
Fuel range was an issue in Australia once we're in the outback. If you make mistake navigating you can easily waste 100ks before you realise. We welcome the extra fuel, even though we'll only need it 5% of the time.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV i absolutly get your point
In the western United States there are absolutely situations with more than 200 miles between stations. A section of the NVBDR is 220 miles of off road with no services in between.
I just put a camel tank on mine and it's all good. I agree it is probably the best adventure bike currently on the market, but there's always improvements which can be made.
@@MeerkatADV good point, the camel tank is the best option in my opinion.
And here we are in Australia thinking if we can’t get 350 - 400 ks from a tank we have problems. You can easily do those distances between towns and even then there’s no guarantee fuel will be available.
I've got a bit over 12,000 miles on my 2021 at this point with about 70% of that off road and with luggage. Yeah it'll handle off road and tour just fine. I'm living off of it currently and haven't had a single problem with the bike.
Iv brought a 22 plate in blue . It does every thing I'll ever need . It's not a motor cross . It's a.very capable adventure bike which will make you smile .
Hope you're wrong about "not good for a long tour". I'm shipping mine to Colombia and will put 15,000 miles on it around South America for three months, then ride it back to the USA. By the way, I had a custom seat made to make things more comfortable for the long days.
its perfectly good for a long tour, just put something soft on the seat. idk what the presenter in the video is saying about not good for long distances.
It ain't a GS or a Goldwing, but it is perfectly capable as a tourer, although I prefer to stick to "A" roads where possible (50-60mph) rather than motorways, as windblast becomes a bit of a nuisance around 70.
It's fine for touring, the stock seat isn't great but the ergonomics are fine. Legs cook if it's hot though.
You should see the videos of Pol tares, one of the worlds top extreme enduro riders, he did the red bull Romaniacs on a tenere 700 last year,nick Sanders rode one round the world, without any problems.
Dude, in case you didn't know, Pol Tares is a world champion trials rider, extremely fit, and extremely talented, and no doubt extremely well paid by Yamaha, and all the sponsors. This is common trick that manufacturers use to sell bikes. The average rider can most definately not ride a T7 the way he does. As well, the bike is extremely modified. So it looks like you fell for it. Watching the T7 riding with the "proper" enduro bikes, he was definately putting alot more into the ride, to make it do what it needed to do, to compete. He is highly paid professional. If it was his choice which bike to ride, what do you think he would pick to ride the Red bull?
Pol tares is well paid for yamaha. And is bike is modified. Stock t7 is garbage motorcycle. Bad enginered. Overheating. Overpriced. And more. I tired to write all flaws.
@@davidcolinfisher1034 pol tares as never been a world champion in trials,fact.
@@pablobablo2057 🤡
@@davidcolinfisher1034 I can confirm as an old ,weak , unfit rider with a standard T7 ,I cannot ride like Pol Tarras apart from my campfire yarns.
The lads there are excellent, they taught me so much about my XT660Z
I don't understand why this dude says you wont be doing "long tours" on this bike as its "a close circuit bike"?
Same, why would you buy it if that's all you use it for, just buy an Enduro , more fun. The T7 is a great touring bike ,I'm more than happy to go a few hundred kms on it on road.
@@silverdale3207 me looking for this com but no one knows lol i think its BS, makes no sense.
Apart from the criminally uncomfortable seat I find mine a gd touring bike. With some fittings to raise the screen up it's surprisingly effective at keeping the wind blast off you.
I went through 300 meters of 10 inch deep potholes on a Ducati Night Shift, on a muddy roadworks at 90 kph and my front forks just tunneled through the lot without my ass rising off the seat. The Ducati Night Shift Scrambler is seriously underrated as an off-road bike/scrambler at 75 Horsepower, and an engine like a jet plane.... I went in the Jungle and up the mountains on Koh Lanta Thailand no problem
I need to get those wheelies dialed in. Looks like a lot of fun!
Very disappointed the raid doesn't have 90hp and bloated to 220kg!! Also KYB SSS 48mm forks? Where are they? Come on Yamaha...
Really cool! Thanks. 🔥🤟
Please give that man a script!
To me it was obvious you did not care much for the Tenere. What bike then do you recommend in this category? Really curious what bikes you do care for and would purchase.
So what did he say?
@@Steven-wz7shNo reply unfortunately.
Have you heard of Pol Tarres?
Pol teres is paid for yamaha. And his t7 is modified. Stock t7 is garbage. You have to change half motorcycle. And still you dont upgrade enginered flaws.
you do realise that pol tarres just competed in the erzberg rodeo on one right?
the ultimate hard enduro race
I'll have to check that out .
His bike was heavily modified. But yeah, he ripped that thing
@@jankelnieuwoudt9759 i mean it was quite well modified but it was more weight reduction and traction then anything else he does everything billy bolt does on a husky on BMW GS very well known for it.
@@brettknibbs9351 The biggest difference in my opinion is the suspension. The stock setup is ridiculously undersprung. With the right suspension this bike is epic.
@@jankelnieuwoudt9759 im a short skinny ass guy so spring problems rarely get me but i can see that it would defintely cause problems for a bigger human being for sure mate
Pol Tarres has already answered this question several times😉
Pol teres is pay for yamaha and have modified t7. Stock tenere 700 is garbage. Bad enginered
Of course, if you can drive and have the strength of an elephant! As long as the box rolls no problem. ride on 🤪
"Short circuit bike"? If this bike is not for longer rides than it's lost it meaning, because for short rides you just get a dual-sport...
Put a guy with more talent that 99% of riders out there and he'll do things we dream of . Tough to relate to .
Did he do stuff that is really hard? No. I get your point, but come on did you watch the video?
I agree!! this video is FANTASY bullshit, and 99% of riders CANNOT do this stuff, period, end of story, quit dreaming......
Can your mom really fold the laundry ?
Fuk it am
Going to buy one tomorrow lol
Do you regard the tracks in the video "off-road"? Unpaved, yes. Another report of a paid rider to praise a 200kg+ bike for unexperienced riders. Well paid, Yamaha.
