Great ride again. There's nothing better than riding fast on a long dirt road, the bike pulls, cutting the landscape like the blade and you standing up high and feeling the freedom. So glad i subscribed to you Channel. Waiting for the next one. Much love from Europe 😊
I am a really good road rider, was a pro at one time, i'm so so offroad. I have the Africa Twin Dct and I can tell you the nature of how good the DCT works is a savior to venture off into sticky situations. It is so easy to get out of trouble on the DCT. I also think the weight of the Yamaha is a big advantage. On a trip that covers both road and dirt the Honda is clearly much better but if I were doing more than 2/3 off road I would get the Yamaha
Fantastic video, fantastic demonstration of what both bikes can do with a capable rider onboard. at times I was waiting for a GQ Patrol to come around one of your blind corners and 'test' you out. Absolute winner for the T7, what a machine.
Just started riding. Adv is most appealing to me. I bought a crf 250 rally and love it. Learning the fundamentals on it. Bit of a Dakar wannabe. But ultimately this is the bike I want. Not ready yet but your video keeps me motivated to get better. Plan to take this bike to Alaska and back from Socal. Thanks for sharing.
A lot of fun these big mile mucher bikes ,Tenere is insane with proper tires ,suspension upgrades will make it a true off road weapon for more skilled riders that like to push the envelope ,the handling is like a enduro bike cheers man !
.. And is there a significant difference in how they handle in the conditions shown in the video? It seems the AT has no problem to keep up with the T7.
kloppskalli when it comes to the hairpin corners with marble surface the T7 will always outgun the Africa and so it should as it’s nearly half the size in dimensions and lighter.
@@kloppskalli what you dont understand is i am letting him stay in front for the camera , i am holding back , if i wanted to i would've left the AT way behind in the dust ,even though his got more power and is good rider .the AT is no match for T7 when the trail tightens up ,
Awesome the 700 looks like a blast! It looks a lot more nimble than the africa twin. My africa twin wouldn't dream of getting up to balance point in 2nd gear like that. I think I could have a lot more fun on the 700 lol. Was already considering trading in, if I can ever find one within 1000km of me... Keep the vids coming! I didn't mount a single camera in 2019, might have to work on that for 2020. Happy new year.
nice to see you out and about and ripping up those fire trails, Got to say the Tenere 700 just looks mint def the best looking in its class but gonna give the sound factor to the trusty old africa twin lol Keep safe fella and good riding
Both nice Bikes, If I had a pillion or did more road I'd go for the AT, but I don't and I have the T7 I love that thing both on and offroad. Both would be great depending on your needs. A young bloke looked at my T7 yesterday and said "She's a beauty mate", that pretty much sums up how I feel about it.
Great movie, the AT looks great but when seeing the two bikes ride togheter it is rather obvious that the AT rider is really skilled. It is a heavy bike. I bought the t700...
Most of people comment here choose T7 than Twin Africa. Almost all people recomend to get T7 more than Africa twin. Well done now I know already decide thats T7 is motor bike im gonna buy....:-) :-) :-)

Definitely. It isn’t even in the same class as an African Twin. The T7 is a small bike, that buzzed about nicely. the AT is a huge tourer that is excellent off-road.
@@NIP28 Weight is the biggest factor. Picking it up when I am riding alone abroad is my biggest worry . Fully loaded I am not sure I could manage the AT.
@@wulfrunhaus6233 did you test ride both? COG on the tenere is so high it felt heavier than the AT (and it was DCT too so another 10kg), I really didn't feel it in the bends the Tenere
I use to have an 2016 AT. Great bike, although I'm not a skilled rider. I used it to travel and on the road it was incredible, but off road the weight was really a big handicap for me. It felt it really really heavy. Now I'm thinking on buying the Tenere, I will not use it for single tracks or very complicated terrain, but i do travel around all kind of roads. The T7 in my country is around USD 15k and the new AT 18k. Which one would you choose? I don't want a heavy bike again, but for the price difference I'm in a predicament.
Both of these bikes are on my dream list. Have a 2022 CRF300L Rally and now the wife wants to tag along for 2 up rides. Kind of torn. Would be used for 1,200 mile round trip journeys from Texas to the mountains of Colorado and occasional solo camping trips. Leaning towards the Tenere 700 but am not sure if a pillion will be as comfortable on longer rides.
yeh best of with AT if touring with misses t7 not the best 2 up for long trips ,+ you already have light weight adventure bike for solo trips ,id be looking at a low mile used 18 0r 19 Africa twin
Amazing!! You can rely on the Aussies to "Let Rip" makes the European Pro trail riders look like they're crawling. Great riding skills, very entertaining!!
Nice to see some very skilled offroad riders putting these motorcycles through the grinder . Can't wait to get mine . We aren't getting the T7 until June out here in Commiefornia . Have you done any mods to the Tenere yet ? Watched these Czech guys do a video showing the difference in the T7 and a Tiger 850 ? and they just kept scrutinizing the T7 for being a little bouncy . Then there's you riding the same bike like it's on fire ripping through everything . Now I get an idea of what the T7 can do . My 2019 DR650 is going to be jealous .
Bloody hard choice between these bikes. I like to take the Missus along on trips..unsure if the T7 would cope that well on highway travelling two up with some soft luggage though? Ridden them both, loved them both...AT is clearly hevier, wished I could read and see a review of the T7 two up. Bloody awesome video. 🙂👍
J’ai un africain twin et Yamaha tenere 700 et j’ai hâte de les comparés ce cérats difficiles un 1000 et un 700 difficile de comparé , je vous dirais plus tard. À suivre
I want both. I’d rather have the T7 but I already have a drz400 and I want something I can ride on the highway with a passenger comfortably for hours. The T7 seems great but not with a passenger.
yep i had to buy a Harley for misses to come on its a hotrod yikes ,just got back for a over night trip on it,if i had a AT i would of needed to ,now i want a new gasgas 350
I love watching your videos during this period when most of us can’t get out and ride. I can understand why you’ve got quite a following, it’s the next best thing to being out there. I’ve currently got a low k’s 790 and I’m considering a low technology T7 because I want long-term reliability and I’m not real good on the spanners or with electronics. Can you compare the two bikes (T7 & 790R) please?
well you be pleased to know they are lifted restrictions as of friday night next week i can ride for recreation and fitness up to 50klm as crow flys from my home ,that opens up lots of trails ,i get out shoot some video next weekend .thanks mate
The bikes look good but I think you boys have a bit to do with that. Great footage and feedback and really see what the bikes are capable of in the the right conditions. Really enjoyed it 👍
Hey guys - serious question. I'm considering these two bikes. My heart says Africa Twin, but I keep hearing how badly they handle on road. Latest advice is the T7 will eat the AT on a windy tarseal road. Does anyone have an opinion on that? I desperately want to believe the AT will be awesome, but hoping won't make it true. I love the low center of gravity, ergonomics and super-low seat height of the AT and think it looks gorgeous - also I've always wanted to own a Honda. The T7 seems like it is better on-road and better off-road. Comfort is nice, but considering you can ride the full length of New Zealand in less than 48hrs, it isn't my primary concern. My first priority is carving up roads super fast, then feel-good factor, then off-road ability, then comfort. I've had the Africa Twin explained to me as a very soft KTM950ADV. Would love some thoughts, until I can find a second-hand AT in my area to test ride. Cheers, Campbell :) - anyone heard anything new about the AT850?
Africa Twin is the best adventure bike off-road. The Tenere 700 is the best if you want 50/50 road/off-road because the Africa Twin isn't as nimble on pavement. The Africa Twin on straight though, pavement or not, so if you're doing a lot of highway, the AT might be a good choice for that too.
@@raphaelg2448 Thanks for your thoughts. I think this is the general consensus. I guess I just want to like the AT because it is pretty. The T7 looks ok too, but I'm just not that excited by it. I do think Yamaha deserves my money though. Thank God someone has built a bike without all the stupid numpty rider-aids and modes. So I should buy the T7 for that reason alone. It is mainly the seat height I don't like. You can get both feet flat on the floor on the AT and still have massive scope to drop forks and rear ride height and still have massive ground clearance. You can ride the full length of NZ in 48hrs, so highway ability isn't my greatest concern. I can see how that makes sense in America, where there are super long straight interstate highways. I've never understood why anyone would ride a bike on straight roads - surely you would just drive a car (more comfortable, safer, less tiring etc.) Cheers for your thoughts.
@@actstuntcam I've been made aware that the Tenere 700 actually behave better off-road than the Africa-twin, which is crazy to me, but that person owns the two bikes (AT and T700) while I just test rode them. It would be thanks to Tenere 700 light weight and ground clearance. If it's really the case don't hesitate, go with the Tenere 700.
P.S. I like the overdramatic music when you’re powering along those fire trails, as far as I’m concerned keep it going. If only I could have that soundtrack in my head when I was doing the same. 😆
Great to see the T7 in action. You should've turned right at about 18:43 and sent them over Gentle Annie!!! We were down there Dec 29th, can't believe how dry it's gotten in there these last few months.
the difference in weight is not huge AT 1100 2020 with 18 L of gasoline with complete line termignoni 218 k consumption 4,5l / 100 YAM T700 with 16 l of gasoline 204 kg consumption 6,5 l / 100 ... yes 12 kg at the end of the day TT it counts, but personally I would have preferred a 500 cc
That was superb....great to see the Tenere being ridden hard!. Way more riding skills than I possess!! Great place to ride as well. What bars have you fitted to the Tenere... ? Cheers, Steve
Brand new Tenere 700 is around £9k-£10k. You can also get a decent, low milage used Honda Africa Twin for around the same price or 3-5 year old with 7k-10k miles and safe £2k-£3k.
Africa twin better suited to big guys that lift it off the ground and like lots of arm chair comfort and lugging power for all the shit they take on a trip ,great for long distance outback travel on dirt highways , T7 more suited to the aggressive rider that still has fire in the blood from his enduro days and still likes to throw the bike around like enduro bike but is looking for some on road comfort smooth twin wide ratio power the big bore enduro bikes just dont have the level of comfort for smashing big miles 690 or 701 will be better off road on enduro trails but onroad it sucks ,,the T7 is 50% 50% perfect balance of on and off road were the AT is more 70% road 30% offroad
Nice video!! For long travels through countries with limited high tech mecanic support, not looking for high riding performance, rather mechanic reliability and comfort, which bike you prefer and recommend??? Thanks. Greetings from Bolivia
Africa twin for long distance comfort lower compression motor can run on low octain fuel but is heaver and more tiring in challenging terrain , but Tenere is lighter weight and more nibble ,both have positives and negatives
Adventure Moto Enduro Yep hoping to do that later this year , maybe head up from around barakula towards Cracow then Nathan gorge and back a different way .cheers Dave
@Johnny Rebellion Same here, the age (will turn 57 in few days) , the current bike (ok, the engine size at least, KTM 640A), and the last bike I will have until checking out, Tenere700. It would be AT if my lady was going with me though, but she woun't so why have extra weight and cost of AT...
i wanted black out the cockpit and little higher bend not much just feels right when standing with lower rally wide pegs as well .. and stronger bar, i also made carbon fiber gps crossbar above the display..the stock one is solid alloy ,and fitted short black brake lever and protaper clutch perch and lever needle roller pivot ,protaper lock on grips
I own at 2021 atas and know several t7 owners. You can’t compare these really. For someone who needs to ride quite a distance to enjoy all the adv terrain where I live a t7 just doesn’t work. The fuel range and lack of creature comforts make the difference for me. I’ve done 2600 kms(50/50 road and dirt) on a modified klr and the Hwy sections were not fun.
Agree you cant compare a t7 with a klr , t7 will eat it off road and on road ,T7 more fun off road then a AT ,depends if you want to have fun in the dirt or want auto cruiser with all the bells
his good hay first big bike also only had it few weeks ,just fitted mt21s on that day first time offroad ,,i got a 1000klm out of it so far about 13mm left on rallyz 140 , few more tanks of fuel she be shot i recon i try dirty old 606 or mt21 cheap any way the 140s

@@nostranger2u my girl friend no we are still together ,,Gas Gas 350f much more fun then a road cruiser ,
I love watching your videos during this period when most of us can’t get out and ride.
I can understand why you’ve got quite a following, it’s the next best thing to being out there.
I’ve currently got a low k’s 790 and I’m considering a low technology T7 because I want long-term reliability and I’m not real good on the spanners or with electronics.
Can you compare the two bikes (T7 & 790R) please?
well you be pleased to know they are lifted restrictions as of friday night next week i can ride for recreation and fitness up to 50klm as crow flys from my home ,that opens up lots of trails ,i get out shoot some video next weekend .thanks mate
Boost ride. ! Thanks for taking us along on the T7.
Great video! (Might want to pixelate the speedo on the public roads!?)
Thanks , YES privet road on a cattle property middle of nowhere ,speedo not correct officer !!!
The bikes look good but I think you boys have a bit to do with that. Great footage and feedback and really see what the bikes are capable of in the the right conditions. Really enjoyed it 👍
thanks brother keep it rubber side down LBD
Awesome Riding skills ! 👍🤙
cheers mate ,
That looks so cool - you can see you have a lot of fun :-))
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey guys - serious question. I'm considering these two bikes. My heart says Africa Twin, but I keep hearing how badly they handle on road. Latest advice is the T7 will eat the AT on a windy tarseal road. Does anyone have an opinion on that? I desperately want to believe the AT will be awesome, but hoping won't make it true. I love the low center of gravity, ergonomics and super-low seat height of the AT and think it looks gorgeous - also I've always wanted to own a Honda. The T7 seems like it is better on-road and better off-road. Comfort is nice, but considering you can ride the full length of New Zealand in less than 48hrs, it isn't my primary concern. My first priority is carving up roads super fast, then feel-good factor, then off-road ability, then comfort. I've had the Africa Twin explained to me as a very soft KTM950ADV. Would love some thoughts, until I can find a second-hand AT in my area to test ride. Cheers, Campbell :) - anyone heard anything new about the AT850?
Africa Twin is the best adventure bike off-road. The Tenere 700 is the best if you want 50/50 road/off-road because the Africa Twin isn't as nimble on pavement. The Africa Twin on straight though, pavement or not, so if you're doing a lot of highway, the AT might be a good choice for that too.
@@raphaelg2448 Thanks for your thoughts. I think this is the general consensus. I guess I just want to like the AT because it is pretty. The T7 looks ok too, but I'm just not that excited by it. I do think Yamaha deserves my money though. Thank God someone has built a bike without all the stupid numpty rider-aids and modes. So I should buy the T7 for that reason alone. It is mainly the seat height I don't like. You can get both feet flat on the floor on the AT and still have massive scope to drop forks and rear ride height and still have massive ground clearance. You can ride the full length of NZ in 48hrs, so highway ability isn't my greatest concern. I can see how that makes sense in America, where there are super long straight interstate highways. I've never understood why anyone would ride a bike on straight roads - surely you would just drive a car (more comfortable, safer, less tiring etc.) Cheers for your thoughts.
@@actstuntcam I've been made aware that the Tenere 700 actually behave better off-road than the Africa-twin, which is crazy to me, but that person owns the two bikes (AT and T700) while I just test rode them. It would be thanks to Tenere 700 light weight and ground clearance. If it's really the case don't hesitate, go with the Tenere 700.
@@raphaelg2448 Great advice, I'm going to ride both. :)
So what have you chosen? Please give an update
You sure have narrow curvy roads there ,fun for crazy drivers like us lol . Stay safe God Bless, from 🇨🇦
thanks mate ,
P.S. I like the overdramatic music when you’re powering along those fire trails, as far as I’m concerned keep it going. If only I could have that soundtrack in my head when I was doing the same. 😆
Awesome tracks, great video, thank you.
Top stuff mate. Nice edit and the T7 looks the goods.
Thanks mate ,lot of fun that bike ,now i just gotta keep feed it rear tires , hehe
I like the standing position of the Honda rider
both are perfect standing
Good to see ya enjoying the new bike Dave.🤙
yeh love the t7 i think we are gonna have long relationship and get a long real well ,thanks man ,
21:35 the most beautiful couple in the world!

Superl video! Great ride and beautiful route! Greetings from Poland!👍 and Sub.
thank you buddy
That bike sounds sick are you sure your not shredding that rear tire 😂😂🍺🍺
cheers , yeh they don't last long ,
Super moto like
T700 will be my next bike!
Am a fan of motorcycle adventures. nice video.
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Great to see the T7 in action.
You should've turned right at about 18:43 and sent them over Gentle Annie!!!
We were down there Dec 29th, can't believe how dry it's gotten in there these last few months.
cheers mate , yeh bit hot out there to big taking on big anne on big bikes lol set the place on fire in long grass up the top ,the cats get hot .
Good stuff Dave. As I posted on your page, I wouldn't mind catchin up with you both for a ride sometime 👍
yeh man will do it ,just need few days off and will head out in the new year , cheers
the difference in weight is not huge AT 1100 2020 with 18 L of gasoline with complete line termignoni 218 k consumption 4,5l / 100 YAM T700 with 16 l of gasoline 204 kg consumption 6,5 l / 100 ... yes 12 kg at the end of the day TT it counts, but personally I would have preferred a 500 cc
That was superb....great to see the Tenere being ridden hard!. Way more riding skills than I possess!! Great place to ride as well. What bars have you fitted to the Tenere... ? Cheers, Steve
cheers stephen glad you like it , yes protaper ATV high thanks
Is the weight difference that significant? I cant imagine an extra 20kg feeling much different imo and you get an extra 400cc for that 20kg!
yes its huge difference more like 35kg less ,T7 feels much narrower and agile like a enduro bike type handling ,
@@AdventureMotoEnduro cool, thanks. Yamaha may be top of my list now then
@@ilikelampshades6 full race preped T7 on the Gas

Man that bike sounds awesome, like an angry lion roaring! And you ride the shit out of it dude 👌
your a gun little rider yourself ,,i see you ripping that 2 stroke George , keep it up !
You guys can ride. Great job.
Lucky for you no one was coming in the opposite direction.

Brand new Tenere 700 is around £9k-£10k. You can also get a decent, low milage used Honda Africa Twin for around the same price or 3-5 year old with 7k-10k miles and safe £2k-£3k.
Wonder how long before some super motos that Tenere?
That was impressive riding for the size of the bikes. So what did you think of the Tenere 700 with the Africa Twin?
Africa twin better suited to big guys that lift it off the ground and like lots of arm chair comfort and lugging power for all the shit they take on a trip ,great for long distance outback travel on dirt highways , T7 more suited to the aggressive rider that still has fire in the blood from his enduro days and still likes to throw the bike around like enduro bike but is looking for some on road comfort smooth twin wide ratio power the big bore enduro bikes just dont have the level of comfort for smashing big miles 690 or 701 will be better off road on enduro trails but onroad it sucks ,,the T7 is 50% 50% perfect balance of on and off road were the AT is more 70% road 30% offroad
Nice video!! For long travels through countries with limited high tech mecanic support, not looking for high riding performance, rather mechanic reliability and comfort, which bike you prefer and recommend??? Thanks. Greetings from Bolivia
Africa twin for long distance comfort lower compression motor can run on low octain fuel but is heaver and more tiring in challenging terrain , but Tenere is lighter weight and more nibble ,both have positives and negatives
Your in my back yard , I have an African great bike , those new teneres look like a good thing . Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
yeh now central QLD got some rain i am keen to explore out bit more bit further out past cracow
Adventure Moto Enduro Yep hoping to do that later this year , maybe head up from around barakula towards Cracow then Nathan gorge and back a different way .cheers Dave
@Johnny Rebellion Same here, the age (will turn 57 in few days) , the current bike (ok, the engine size at least, KTM 640A), and the last bike I will have until checking out, Tenere700. It would be AT if my lady was going with me though, but she woun't so why have extra weight and cost of AT...
looked like a great ride.
thanks Paul , more to come
You guys are so professional, the trail is full of cow dung and cows, overcoming them is also a huge challenge
Great riding video loved it ,🤘🏽😎
Awesome! Why'd you get rid of the original bars?
i wanted black out the cockpit and little higher bend not much just feels right when standing with lower rally wide pegs as well .. and stronger bar, i also made carbon fiber gps crossbar above the display..the stock one is solid alloy ,and fitted short black brake lever and protaper clutch perch and lever needle roller pivot ,protaper lock on grips
I own at 2021 atas and know several t7 owners. You can’t compare these really. For someone who needs to ride quite a distance to enjoy all the adv terrain where I live a t7 just doesn’t work. The fuel range and lack of creature comforts make the difference for me. I’ve done 2600 kms(50/50 road and dirt) on a modified klr and the Hwy sections were not fun.
Agree you cant compare a t7 with a klr , t7 will eat it off road and on road ,T7 more fun off road then a AT ,depends if you want to have fun in the dirt or want auto cruiser with all the bells
I would prefer not to hear this music in the background, just hear the actual bike instead :-\
their are other videos mate with stuff all music ,
Awesome riding vid!
Great video Dave, gee Dan punts that AT along well. How’s the back tyre lasting on the T7?
his good hay first big bike also only had it few weeks ,just fitted mt21s on that day first time offroad ,,i got a 1000klm out of it so far about 13mm left on rallyz 140 , few more tanks of fuel she be shot i recon i try dirty old 606 or mt21 cheap any way the 140s
Great trails
Nicely made. That's an easy sub.
Thanks guys ,i subbed ,you guys and your adventures are hilarious foot peg parting way and all ,keep it up your giving it a go getting out and about that's all that matters not how fast you can go , stay safe guys ! AME
I need to learn how to ride from you or Dan.
Love this video soo much great ride 👍 iam now deciding if I should buy tenere or africa can you give me some advice?
test ride both ,2 up AT is better
Excellent eisers!

Nice ridden bloke,,,
