Bro this production value is insane the fact that it's all done by you is crazy

[SmokinZen]

After owning the T7 I can say it’s not perfect but it’s a motorcycle you can fall in love with. Being old school I have never had tech loaded bikes so this guy feels natural to me and I don’t miss anything on it but I do wish it had cruise control only because my adventures are very long sometimes

The fork springs are far too soft but K-tech springs are £80, half hour to fit and stop it bottoming out.
As for the ABS, just remove the solenoid fuse.
My bike was remapped so I don't have issues with the throttle.

Damn you told me that I should look forward to this video and you didn't disappoint! You channel deserves more subs! The cinematics, the writing, the post production. It's a complete package!

I'm going to sound old, I am, I guess. This bike is old school, and people who're old school love it. No bells and whistles. No rubbish. Just a bike. I used to race a 1988 XT600, way back when. It was heavy. It was harsh....but it was a bike that could make it to the end of the desert, without giving up. You just dealt with it's shortcomings as it was a great bike. This, I feel, is an extension of that bike and that ethos. My 2023 is going to be on order as soon as I can make it happen. I can't wait to 'have to put up with' it's foibles. Take me home, back to when I was satisfied with 'just a bike'. Great video, by the way.

Great story telling. Lately I have been impressed with YT production quality of many channels. Back to T7 topic, what you found little irritating it has been fixed with many aftermarket options. I am the owner of it for 2 years now and there are other issues not mentioned here or not mentioned with more details. It is a great bike but not as good as advertized. Still the golden retriever is the best analogy. The price is just reflected on demand and inflation man. In my neck of the woods you cant find any of these in stock anywhere. People order now for 2025. Good thing is that this bike will be produced like this for next 15 years :)

Great video! It's a shame Yamaha doesn't bring a light dual sport to the table. There are heaps of heavy adv bikes out there and yet the 701 sits unchallenged in it's weight class?

I think this is 1 of the most honest t7 reviews I have watched yet, thank you

[tactical]

Agree with you on the wheels. If there were 2 things I wish Yamaha would change on the bike it would be to make it with tubeless wheels and a bolt on subframe...

[konstadinoskrikelis]

I love this channel, dude keep it up💪

[rosucristi]

Watching this from a remote portughese restaurant ✊ Good review, great scenery. Need to do more of these ;)

[nemerkha]

There is no argument. Even when the tenere came out it was and still a dinosaur. A dinosaur with the most reliable engine on the market, arguably the best looks, always starts and goes and you can wrench it anywhere in the world. What a proper adv bike should be. When i bought my World Raid, it was £1000 more expensive than a brand new 890 R adventure. People who buy teneres buy them for simplicity, reliability, durability and no bull- adv riding. I am more than happy and sleep much better at night.
PS: my previous bike was an R1200GSA.

🔥🔥 I’ve been expecting this video. Not disappointed 😂🙌🏼

[ChrisBorghi]

What a wonderful film production! As a T7 owner myself I really enjoyed your review very much. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

[TexasTacoKiller]

Good Vid... reason i chose my Tenere was for little to no tech, if i wanted tech, I'd have gone the KTM route. Also, my T7 has tubeless tires... though I did add some with run flat in to for off roading... saludos, de Texas

[philhagoes]

Very well done review. Great wit, and well narrated. New subscriber and liked! Looking forward to more of you adventures, and I have a T7 as well. Your right about everything.

[tactical]

I like the LCD dash on the T7. Even though Yamaha did a great job with the new TFT on the T7, the LCD just seems to fit the bike better as its a simple motorcycle without all the electronics and the LCD just seems to align with that design mantra

[aaatias]

Ive owned a T7 for 3 Years, my advice: workout and man up to ride one, if you take the time, it will become an awesome bike off-road for you, easy to maintain, and overall a bike built to last, dont be discouraged from testing one out yourself to see itlf its a fit.

[stevescott]

Pretty fair review. Great photography and love the Hozier background music! Great job! 😊

[itssanktime]
