This would be an incredible project for your channel. The high CoG of T7 is its major flaw, and solving this will be extremely interesting. T7 audience is huge all over the world. It’s definetely worth it for your channel, and for all of us waiting for your long term test of this! Keep going!
These tanks are the future of motorcycle design. One ride on an 890 and I was sold on the benefits. Good to see Safari tanks stepping it up as well as Rade garage with their metal skid/tank for the 500EXC. The benefits would out weigh the occasional time you get stuck in a rut.
For everyone that keeps saying you don’t need that much fuel. One of the most popular rides in Australia is the Simpson desert crossing. I done it unsupported on my T7 with these tanks (was the last big test before production) and I used 40L to do 511km. Yes I had some fun but that’s the point right? Also once I was down to 30L my bike went through the sand better than the Husky 701s did. I have put over ten thousand km on my test tanks and couldn’t recommend them more.
Ah ha! Rodnies fuel tank! Saw this with Adam an Rods long range tests, 6.5ams up an down from Perth! Awsome ❤❤❤ Great you’re covering this Dave an Mad TV. Huge thanks from UK 🇬🇧 ❤❤🎃🎃🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🏍️🏍️🥃🥃
I remember seeing the prototype of this fuel tank ages ago, so nice to see it in production. this fuel tank plus the unit garage fairing kit perfect combo for me, no more problems with windbuffeting, lower center of gravity and a shit load of fuel.
I have been waiting for 4 years for someone to make this style of tank for the standard t7, this is what the raid should have been like. I am 100% getting these when their available
I sold my T7, with a standard 6.5 gallon Safari tank, because it was too top heavy. The day I sold it, I regretted selling it. Now, I’ve got deeper regret seeing this tank with a lower COG. I’ll get another T7.
I saw the new tenere 2025 in the french alps this summer, yamaha development team was there. I saw a bigger screen, another seat in two colours blue/black, handguard also blue and black, mitas tyres (looking like str rally) and the engineer told me the motor will have more power (he didn’t told me how much when i asked) the rest of the bike looked very similar. Was still a 700 cp2 engine. Fun fact they had also a 890 adv R for comparison ride with the tenere.
Was a T7 owner - Rode a T7 World Raid, rough off road tracks last week. Yes those twin tanks on the World Raid makes the bike heavy and big, but in short the bike was just fantastic to ride. Night and day over the standard T7. I would love Rod's bike bike but only 20 litres.
I love this. The one drawback I’d mention is if you want to take it in single track areas, you run into the problem that the KTMs do, which is the tanks catching in the ruts. That’s the benefit of a stock t7, it fits like a dirtbike in those places
Well done, much higher quality video than most as usual. Your videos are a much watch, particularly as my injuries no longer make it possible for me to undertake such a journey.
One of the major draw cards to my 890AR for me is the low tank for centre of gravity and foot/foot lever protection reasons. Also saves having crash bars. A standard T7 with these tanks filled half way and retuned suspension could sway me away from the orange, with the added Japanese reliability. $ maths seems to look good too. But then again, standard factory features on the KTM vs after market mods for an equivalent T7.... All up, it is tempting to switch...
@@k_plax What's tempting me is Rod's comment about it having low centre of gravity than the World Raid. If I put those close cartridge forks on I think I would have a World Raid beater at a reasonable price. Remember my T700 was one of the first in the country...2020.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV I was interested in the WR as a potential 890 replacement as per my first comment but the WR tanks werent low enough for me. This tank addresses that. Id be interested to see how wide it is up top around the knees. gone on Dave, do it 😉
I have the gytr rear tank fitted to my world raid and can use the front tanks first or rear tanks first at the touch of a button for what ever terrain your on to switch you weight around. 40 ltrs, 24ltrs front and 16ltrs rear if you want to run both full. Great set up. Next mod is tractive suspension that rally raid do. Great job on a standard tenere though lads.
Great job Dave. We need that kit for certain. Lower is a winner for both of us check drawers. I looked recently oh Safari's site, may be available now if not soon. Comes at a price but, that's a lifetime bike for me I have too much in it now. Yes, you need to change that stock rear brake lever setup. Cory's group has done a great job on them. Mine is daylight and dark. I really liked his bag setup. But like you appears a little long and under the thigh. I have a Giant Loop Siskiyou set up now. Over the seat, tie down and go. Opens on the top too. Mosko Moto has a new smaller tank bag that mounts across the tank, friends love it. Out of the way. New 30L bags as well. The lights, always wondered if the bike made enough electricity to power them intermittently or if a small backup lithium ion battery was needed. Have any of you tried the new DMD2 nav setup. Good kit. Robert ( knows his shit, rides early Tenere too) at Nomad Sweden, th-cam.com/video/2X8bUyr8WSI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cepGci3Zc83IDHRH All good from east Kentucky USA. We haven't washed away but friends and hundred others have 200 KM away. 800 or so dead and missing. Asheville NC and around the Blue Ridge.
I want to put this to the community here, because I think that this low slung weight may actually be a disadvantage in some ways, and I'd be interested to hear what you think (If Rodney would chime in that would be amazing). I actually think the high center of gravity (COG) is an advantage, especially in deep, fine sand. Hear me out: I own a 2005 KTM 950 adventure, known for the low slung fuel tanks. I also own a 2024 tenere 700 (just recently purchased). I live in a desert (Twentynine palms area, by Joshua Tree) with many tracks of extremely fine and deep sand, with lots of ruts from other vehicles, so kind of a nightmare for these 450 pound monsters (but also absolutely exhilarating).
Anyways, to the point: The Tenere outperforms the KTM in this environment in my experience. The difference is the moment of inertia. If you think of balancing an axe in your palm, it is actually easier to balance it with the heavy side up, because the heavier part being up high, it is slower to respond to differences in lean, and the bottom is easier to move to correct it, being lighter. Balancing the axe with the heavier side on the bottom, the top is very easily and quickly affected by changes in lean angle, and the heavy bottom is slower to position to correct it. Now compare the KTM to the Tenere in deep rutted sand: While the KTM will plow through ruts a bit better because of its low weight pushing behind the wheels, when it does get overcome by a rut, it goes quite quickly. The Tenere on the other hand, though a little more sensitive to the ruts because it is lighter on the bottom (thus less inertia to help the wheels plow through the ruts) the top of the bike is really slow to be affected by all the chaos beneath it, so what winds up happening is the bottom of the bike moves around more, but is always correcting itself under the upper COG ballast. It's as Adam Reimann says, it's like a big dirtbike. Interested to know what you or Rodney would say to this. There are definite drawbacks, and if you have to add more fuel, of course there are limits to how much can go up top, because once the bike goes past a tipping point, the higher COG quickly becomes a problem of course! Since Rodney needs the larger tank for distances, it makes sense the way it was constructed, but he also talks about how even when not full, the lower weight of the gas is better. I'm sure it is easier to pick up, but in what other ways is it better, and does this high COG superiority seem valid? Does the lower weight actually perform better, or is it just easier to manage when it wants to or does tip over?
It just so happens, I will be awake at 4 AM I dont want to be, but I am anyway. Every. Single. Damn. Night. You just gave me a reason not to rue the hour!
Love the T7, except that small fuel tank. I just had the Acerbis fitted to my bike. So my question is how have they fitted graphics to the Safari without them wrinkling and coming off? Offering the Safari tanks with the bash plate is a great move. 👍
I love my 411, but if I was going to look at a bigger bike, I like the KLR650, so get that in your crutch and shake it. This a Tenere vid, but that's where it is for me. I am not an enduro rider or hard and fast Adventure rider. I have always liked the KLR regardless of it's limitations.
You guys need to have a chat with Noraly from Itchy Boots....... She has made the move the Yammyhahhh..... This build is awesome...... GODSPEED gents...
Something truly inspirational and amazing for orange bike rider, 800km 5 times tenere will still run fine and smooth… some orange bikes start to cook it crankshaft off 😂😂
It’s a fairly extensive kit, I also like to look at it as a bash plate is something you would spend $600 odd dollars on, plus you don’t need crash bars so that weight and cost has to be factored in. I think for how it transforms the bike it is well worth that much.
The molds aren't cheap to make and there's always changes that need to be made so that's a new mold and they don't have the economy of scale, I'd be suprised if they make more than a hundred of the kits over the life time of the T7 model.
5 years time people will be laughing at the effort this fella has invested into a petrol tank as they will all be on electric ,time to look ahead and see whats just over the horizon
I wish it was five years time, sadly we were supposed to be driving flying cars now. Energy density is still the limiting factor. Although the latest R & D batteries are half the weight and almost double the power, commercialisation of those developments still leaves us way behind the power generated by petrol. We are at least ten years off being able to ride into the outback with the prospect of making it back alive.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV mate i hope your right i truly do ,i still think off the days when Gall Elllis Gunther were my heroes ,the legends off Finke and to see the young fellas at work frothing over the new Vark makes me ill but apparentley im a silly ol fossil who needs to get with the new wave,irode the Vark and it just blew me away ,theres quite nothing like it ,pulls harder than my ol sand spider ,its the future im afraid
Give these 30 more hp and sell them with these tanks stock and I’ll buy one. But even heavier with fuel plus the same hp … these are huge pigs anyway now even heavier. Also add a 6 axis imu and all that comes with that and cruise control. As it stands now these underpowered Top heavy and cheap for kids to buy. Just add the good stuff and a $13,000 usd price tag and it will be hit
Well I'd suggest that if you bought a 2020 or 21 Tenere for $14,000 dollars or less. Fitted this tank and some odds and ends. You''d make this easily under $20 K.
If I build one, I was thinking about that. No engine guards. I'm not sure. If I build one, I will weigh before and after. In terms of lights, the kangaroo density where he lives is high, as are the emus.
@@Jonathan-ez8tq the safari kit weighs 12.75kgs more than the stock parts removed, or 9.87kgs when compared with a standard B&B bash plate. The is made up of many parts, effectively two tanks, so it should be expected that it’s more than double a single aftermarket tank, also the bash plate is a large slice of that a modification many would be doing anyway. Also don’t need the added weight of crash bars or engine protection.
@@JLmedia-hpattern not bad indeed, tbh i would (and most people) never need more then 20-25L, because most people i ride with never have more than 350-400 km range of fuel, so i would stop anyway for them to refuel 😅and the tenere isn’t a bike on wich anyone would want to sit for 9 hours straight. But the idea is brilliant.
Safari tank is like $2000? Ad that to the price and you could have a ktm 790 for less or a 890r for around the same price but with way better performance
How about this: The second hand bike market is not strong. Pick up a second hand Tenere for a good price. They are as reliable as and build one for under 20 K AU. Would you buy a second hand 790?

@@JLmedia-hpattern not bad indeed, tbh i would (and most people) never need more then 20-25L, because most people i ride with never have more than 350-400 km range of fuel, so i would stop anyway for them to refuel 😅and the tenere isn’t a bike on wich anyone would want to sit for 9 hours straight. But the idea is brilliant.
We've made it bigger and heavier and spent a fortune doing so.
FFS 🙄
With just the tanks, its 8 kg. Not including fuel.
Safari tank is like $2000? Ad that to the price and you could have a ktm 790 for less or a 890r for around the same price but with way better performance
How about this: The second hand bike market is not strong. Pick up a second hand Tenere for a good price. They are as reliable as and build one for under 20 K AU. Would you buy a second hand 790?
A new T7 is under AU$21k. A new 890AR is just over $27k. $6.5k for this tank and tuned suspension is plenty.
And it Doesen’t matter How much fuel a ktm has, always near a service center anyway 😂
And every 5-10k you can park the bike for 3 months waiting on cam replacements. Go for it!
True, but while your KTM is in the shop, we T7 owners will be ripping up the dirt and drinking beers in the back country.
