How Tough is the Tenere 700? Real [Off-Road] Test Made by an Average Rider!

The Tenere is made like a tank! In this video, I will show you that it crashes very well without even leaving marks on its body.

The T7 is top-heavy for slow technical riding. For gravel roads, it is a blast. This is why I kept my v-strom 650 for longer as I don't want to pull the trigger for ktm, or norden901 and prefer a 450 or 250 for more difficult terrains. Let's see what Suzuki will bring with the new 700cc parallel twin, but I am not expecting something much better than what we already have.

Nice video. I did test-drive the Tenere last year. 1Hour with Yamaha experience day. It was 50/50 road/off-road. Lots of thick sands. It was very difficult but I had a lot of fun. Was sweating like hell. Anyway, I just bought a CFmoto 650mt. Hope to do some trips with it. The Tenere is to expensive for me, maybe next time. It's a great bike. Enjoy, and keep us entertaint and informed ❤

Finally T7 went down! All the best Pavlin, this is what it was designed for.

As an beginner electric mountain bike rider I quickly learned not to stand up on steep ascends + how hard it is to start re-start riding if you stop on a steep terrain. Now I see the same is true on the motorcycle. (I ride also Kawasaki Versys 650, but only on road). Nice video 👍👍

Thanks for showing this. Many people watch Pol Tarres and they start to believie that T7 is a bike that can go anywhere, easily. In fact, in more difficult terrain it shows how tall and heavy it is and requires certain skills to be managed. It is always better to start with a lighter bike and learn step by step.

Really enjoyed this clip! Would love to see you ride more of these types of tracks. It of course comes at the expense of having to replace parts every once in a while (as I'm very familiar), but I find it totally worth it.

So kind of you to fall and test out the bike, so others wouldn't have to. A sacrifice, I am sure many will appreciate.

I am amazed to see your instructor riding with jeans and snickers, no protection, WOW.
I am a great fan of your channel, would like to use this opportunity to thank you for this.

Hi Pavlin
Thanks for sharing this.
My touring ride is a 2016
A/Twin, DCT1000, with 80/20 tyres.During 1st year of covid I had to cancel my foreign trips.
Instead, I did an expensive 2 day off road course on Their, DCT 1100, with knobblies, with rain and mud.
We all fell off several times, but learned So much and new skills.
It was worth every penny.
Cheers Barry.UK.🏍

Marks of character. The memories. Beautiful place, worth the effort to see. Yes, a great bike, only our levels of skills and practice are in question.

This is a good practice session for you to visit Zanskar Valley and Uminglatop. Zanskar is full of such hairpin bends with snow on gravel at 17000 feet ASL! Also some times it happens with everyone in fact with many top players too, treat it like " It was not your day".

[wardroland]

Thanks MA. Great job. Good info. God bless. Happy trails.

And the little dog laughed to see such fun! It takes a big man to admit his mistakes - well done Pavlin!

[cassin]

Pavlin, thanks for sharing. I think now you would agree that riding alone on technical trails or places far from help maybe a bad idea. Getting injured or becoming immobilized would cost you dearly. Does not matter if you're a pro or an average rider because accidents typically happen when you least expect it. Anyway, I do ride alone these days and I totally understand when you say it's better than with a group but I try to be aware of things I can and cannot control. Also, you can get a satellite phone or emergency beacon should go solo on these type of rides.

[sanatandharma]

Very good effort sir! Stiffening up makes things worse, I know how it feels to drop a bike off road.

[breaper]

Looks like folks should be riding on bikes they can manage!

Great video Pavlin! Thanks for sharing the experience unfiltered!

Браво добре сте си изкарали и аз се измъчих с моя вчера но тези мотори определено не са за такива терени много са тежки.Но ако си на зор с добри гуми става.Това Пирели е компромис иска се доста по сериозна гума за такива места, но губиш от скороста на шосето.Справяш се перфектно.

[maximilianpaech]

Excellent just excellent - In my humble opinion your offroad Skills fit quite well to the building quality of the T7 - perfect match 💯

It's safe to say every beginner should start off-road with an enduro before they start riding on pavement
