I used the t7 Explore to go from Italy to Senegal through Morocco and Mauritania. Good bike for this kind of tours, never a problem.

No tubeless tyres, no cruise control, the next upgrade will probably give more colours, no traction control, messing with quick shift direction, luggage should be optional, needs bigger tank capacity instead of having to pay for after market. If they missed the extra stuff off it would be more appealing in the 9k range, no screen mirror. Why do I say it? Well Himalayan have done it all on a 450cc bike for £6000.

It’s amazing. I did the Yamaha Experience day on one a few weeks back. But getting off my Street Triple and then heading out on a road on one of these it felt baggy and gutless. Amazing fun off road and would love one if I lived in the sticks but for touring I’d rather have a Tracer 9.

To merit the Explore moniker I think it needs the world raid tanks, cruise control, tubeless tyres, option on seats (tall comfort seat for example) And better wind protection, of course that should be reflected in the price.

Presume the handling is better! The original does suffer slightly from the feeling of having to manhandle that big front wheel thru the twisties. Any improvement?

I've been wanting a T7 for a while... But every time I come back from an epic ride on my Yamaha XT250, I am reminded that I simply wouldn't be able to do the same on T7 (at least with my current size and skill level). And if I can't go too far offroad on it, then it would be mostly used on paved roads, gravel and light offroad trails... at which point I wonder if I need a T7 for that?
Anyway, a great bike!

Why is is that many reviewers only give their overall height when talking about seat height and screen need to also know the inseam length too.

Can you get a taller seat for this model?

What about matching locks on the hard bags. We have issues getting them in USA

I don't really need the cruise control but god... What i really need is tubeless tyres. Especially on this explore model where i expect 75% ride on road and 25% in very light terrein.

Would still choose Aprilia Tuareg 660😊

Yamaha needs to stop fighting us and install tubeless wheels, a 16t countershaft as standard and a larger fuel tank. Krylon flat black paint isn't very appealing for a touring type machine. How about colors that inspire and not bottom of the shoe colors.

Was on my list but spent my money on the scrambler xe cruise control and tubeless won the day

I am not sure if its really saving you money to buy the explore instead of the standard t7 and upgrade it yourself considering that you can sell your original seat, windshield and shifter. However it will save you some hassle..

It would be nice if you did the 7gt next I would like your report on this bike

They have to go tubeless with some of these models, same with the Transalp. I think they would sell a lot more if they did.

I hate that longitudinal tft screen. It's irritating.

Why on Earth don’t they give you the double tank??

If they put tubeless wheels and cruise control I would trade it for my trusty super tenere 1200
