T7 - The best middle-weight adventure bike in its price range. If only they did a SP version with better suspension and kept it less than the 790 Adv it would be close to being the best middle-weight adventure bike overall. The 790 Adv might be a lot more money but then it's a lot more bike. One is budget, one is premium. Two manufactures coming at the market from different directions. Great for consumer choice.

The stock suspension is fine for most - just use the factory adjustments - not many bikes at the price has that much adjustment

Have many miles of nicely graded wilderness gravel roads in my neck of the woods with many logging type side roads to explore. This Tenere 700 would be a hoot for me. And my very first bike was a 1975 Yamaha DT400 Enduro.

Looking at the specs, it's probably closer to the KTM790/890s rather than the R model when you look at the ground clearance and suspension travel. Yet it's always compared with the R probably because of looks.

Thank you. The jacket is Rukka and the thermo liner is removable that came with it. Basically I walked into the motorcycle store and said "show me the warmest coat you got for winter riding" and I walked out with the Rukka. It's probably the most expensive of brands but it keeps me warm. 😊 But in the States it might be hard to find, at least I've heard from other guys. Gloves, well they change from time to time and day to day, I will not recommend any gloves simply because I have not found a pair that I can recommend. Ride safe, Scott

Hi Keith, yes, I've done a review of one a long time ago, it's actually one of my first reviews, so the review and presentation is really terrible imho. It's really a different experience to ride the bike, I personally didn't care for it and the sound...well...let's just say took some getting used too. They look great but you really have to ride one to find out if you can live with one. Ride safe, Scott

Hi Wahid, well, that really depends on the condition of the bike. You will have to do a visual inspection of it and Germans usually keep a very good record of maintenance, so check if the bike has been maintained and also not stored outside too. Also, excellent condition means not been "totaled" meaning crashed and insurance has paid off the owner for a total loss and then been repaired/parts replaced and brought back up to legal specs. Then consider it, sure. Good luck, Scott

Thanks for the review , I am looking for a lighter bike like this . I will be on pavement more then dirt , but i recently sat on a v-strom 650 and 1000(would like to stay lighter then that ) and they felt comfortable. What bike do you think is good if you want to take a passenger sometimes? I already own a wr250r that I love . Thank you
@NothingToProve
4 жыл бұрын
Your welcome, well, I've never ridden the V-Strom's, an issue I hope to remedy in 2020 so I can't compare to this. This is a very comfortable bike and is one of the lightest in the middle weight adv group, although I did not ride it with a passenger, I think it would do well with a passenger though. They are starting to arrive at dealerships in mass now, so go down and sit on one and take it for a test ride, if you can, but if you do that you better bring your wallet cause you will want to put some money down...I promise :) Ride safe, Scott

Have you seen the T7 passenger seat? You're not going to be friends with your pillion after a journey. I would seriously look at the Africa Twin if I were you. With the 2020 update you're likely to get a great deal on last years model. The Africa Twin may be a little heavier than the T7 but it's pretty capable offroad and very good onroad. They look great as well.

That smaller African Twin ? Not as hard edged as the Yamaha 900 Tracer i just looked at ..something fun , approachable for people 54” to 5’11 say ? Lol ...

I don't like this bike at all. It might be really good though, but the looks are not what I want in a bike and I love Adventure-Bikes! But this wanna-be Dakar-look is kind of a really annoying thing TO ME! I want to use more drastic terms, but I think that's not appropriate, is it? And the price tag is not good at all. If you take the real competition, as far as money and power is concerned, you see that this bike is about 1000€ too expensive. (Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT (8990,-) , Yamaha Tracer 700 GT (about 8600€ (a current pricetag is unavailable) and is basically the road version of the Tenere 700)) The KTM is not the real competition, because of the more powerful engine and is better equipped. Good video anyway
