Great video. Thanks. I just got my T7 and recently did 750km on it in 1 day. And my only complaint was the seat. We have a person here in Turkey who has been doing custom comfort seats for all bikes for 50 years. And tomorrow I'll be sending my seat over to him to have a make-over, keeping the original covering. And I also bought a soft seat cushion for motorcycles to add to my new seat in case the new seat is still inadequate. You can also get the LED turn signals not only coz they look better, but also because they bend more and less chance of braking during off-road falls. For heated grips, even though it may make the guarantee obsolete, I'm thinking of installing the Oxford heated grips since I know how wonderful they are. For tires, everyone is telling me how great these original tires are and that I should buy the same again. But I'm also hearing in a lot of european forums that the Motoz Tractionator Adventure tires are the best tire they ever tried on the T7. If you want to make the bike lighter by 2 kilos, you could get a lithium battery and an lighter exhaust. Mine came with the agropovic since I got the Rally version. You might want some folding mirrors if you'll be doing a lot of off-road. And you could get even wider foot pegs, but I find the original ones better than expected. For luggage, I went for a hard aliminium topcase, with soft side cases. I'll be taking off the topcase when off-roading. And I put a special gel in the tires that prevent getting flat tires, even if a nail goes in. I'd love to personalize my T7 even more in the future by getting new decals for it. But unfortunately here in Turkey, there is a chance they could get stuck at customs, and going to an advertising company to have them made, would cost a fortune. Wishing you a great trip.

Hi Iike your videos.
I did the same thing. Two month ago I sold my G650GS Sertao after six years and now wait to get the new 2023 T700 Model. The G650GS was and is a very good bike but it does miss some extra horse power. The black T700 edition is very nice!

Cool bike, I've got the same one same color.
4, 000 miles on mine and wouldn't trade it for anything

Seat isn't great, but I added one of those "cool covers" and I've found it makes a massive difference. It's added at least another hour to my ride before my arse is screaming to get off for a rest / walk around

The stock tires are AMAZING on the road

The seat is uncomfortable at first but after a few thousand miles it will be broke in and very comfortable
