Yamaha Tenere 700:
The Yamaha Ténéré 700 is a midsize adventure/dual-sport motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha since 2019. It features a 689 cc (42.0 cu in) parallel-twin engine which powers the motorcycle through a six-speed gearbox and chain drive. Brakes are equipped with rider-switchable (on-off) ABS. The "baby Ténéré" is the latest in a series of dual-sport Yamaha motorcycles named after the Ténéré desert stage of the Dakar Rally in the Sahara. The successor to Yamaha's XT660Z Ténéré was first announced as the T7 concept at the 2016 EICMA with an anticipated production launch in 2018. A refined concept was publicized a year later.
Yamaha announced that delivery of bikes would begin in Europe in July 2019, and only the following year to the USA due to emissions and other regulatory delays. The liquid-cooled 4-stroke 8-valve DOHC engine with crossplane crankshaft was already in use and well reviewed in Yamaha's MT-07 naked and Tracer 700 sport touring bikes.

Honda CRF300L:
Balance is the key when riding any motorcycle. And we’re not talking about just balancing on two wheels: We’re talking about the balance between size, weight, power and handling that makes some bikes great—like the new Honda CRF300L. Based on our previous CRF250L, for 2021, it gets a larger engine with more torque and a whole host of chassis and suspension refinements. What you end up with is one of the best-balanced bikes ever for on- and off-road use. Perfect for weekend trail rides, it’s also among the best choices ever for commuting or urban transportation. And if you’re looking for a version with a windscreen and Dakar-inspired bodywork for a little more weather protection, make sure you check out our new CRF300L Rally.

Thank you for watching MotorcyclesOffroad!

I'm sure someone has mentioned this below, but momentum is probably an important one. Assess the situation, make a rational controlled decision but then just commit to the decision, all in, no hesitation, "throttle it out". Nothing worse that getting cold feet and then being in no mans land. Starting from a stop, poor traction or an incline to tackle, you can probably go back or around but it would have been easier to blast through the first time.

been riding motorcycles since 1969. at age 67 i recently bought a 1995 DRZ 350. I watch all you videos and use them every time I ride. Baby baby I'm falling in love a gain?

As a new rider, I found these tips to be very helpful, THANK YOU for taking the time to put this together! Some of us out there are just discovering the awesomeness of riding and are very appreciative of videos like this. I just recently purchased my first bike - a 2024 KLX 300. To say I love it is an understatement, I feel like a damn kid on Christmas morning...👍

I think the tip about looking ahead to the next turn or obstacle is one of the most important tips. To often we are going along great, see a big rock and hit it. Instead force your eyes to SEE the path around the rock then move on to the turn, obstacle always looking ahead!

My first ride on my crf250l I fell pretty hard. Killed my confidence, I got to work up the confidence now to even get on the bike

[jonsimo]

Finally a video that doesn't just showcase the barebone basics, going to watch this again and again until the information is locked in, thanks so much for making this dude!

[jbento]

I've recently resumed motorcycling after a 14 year long interruption though I previously had more than 10 years of experience and it's great to recap a lot of stuff and your video is probably one of the best I've seen.

I really missed this but life got in the way... it's because of guys like you that made me remember, that I'm finally giving this back to myself.
Just went through 120km today, and thought my body hurts, the soul heals.

Thank you for the great help in getting back on my feet!

Cheers!

my riding sessions are usually way too long and fatigue always is a huge thing to contend with by the time we make it back
about half the rides I go on, by the time we get back I'm so exhausted I can barely pick up my bike after whatever dumb thing caused me to drop it last, usually stopping to wait on slower members of the group and loosing my footing. (my seat height is like 40 inches or something crazy like that.)
I always drop my bike several times and usually crash twice, (I carry 2 clutch levers and 2 shifters with me on every ride.) once you get used to going down you stop being afraid of it, and that's when my confidence really started to take off.
its a dirt bike its designed to take a beating, and you should have a helmet on, crashes are part of it, and once they become something bothersome instead of something scary, that's when things really start getting fun.

I will be riding a dirt bike for the first time this coming weekend, a 250cc KTM or similar, and this was an awesome video...I probably won't be doing anything extreme, since I was just invited by some friends to watch a race, but still, this video is helpful.

[Txfire]

Thanks for the info. I'm 54 and just got into motorcycle riding thanks to a friend of mine. I bought a Kawasaki KLR650S and am taking it real slow and trying to learn as much as possible.

[philgoogle]

Keeping up both my eyes and momentum whilst climbing are where I have to improve. A moment's hesitation to give an extra second to pick the line, loses momentum, may lead to dropping the bike and eroding confidence.
Thanks for making and posting this video. Good advice 👍

[aaronjshaw]

Totally going to watch this video a few times. I’m switching from super sport to Dual Sport and it’s going to be an all new learning verve for me. Great Video here.

[powerwagon]

That’s a nice riding area, all we got here in the Colorado mountains are rocks! Beta 300 rider here. Great basic tips!

[hiltonmcconnell]

Thanks great video Getting back into off road after many years, Had a DR 600 kick start only that is how long ago, that was one great go any where bike, Now have a KTM 390 Adventure and a DR650 ( 20 liter gas tank ) the KTM I use it as a 70- 30 bike, the DR650 as a true 50-50 Dunlop TrailMax Mission on bough bikes, Have a CRF getting set up for a 10- 90 bike, bike in but waiting for some parts. At 73 no need for speed, just want to be able to get through the gnarly trails. Again thanks for the video.

[simonthomas]

Some excellent advice here, thanks. Particularly the body positioning whilst seated. So many riders don't understand the value of gripping the tank or using the pegs to direct the bike. Heels down!!

[timothybroga]

Wow thank you for making this video.
I'm 60 I've only been riding off-road for about 5 years and it's very good to get into the basics to make sure they become conscious thought... Then autopilot ...
Most people myself included want to off-road ride end up with people who have decent skills and it never develop our own basics and get jammed up.
It's a little tricky learning the skills after street riding for 40+years.
Man is this fun looking forward to your next video

[MoonlightRambler]

It was interesting to hear, thank you! Somewhat similar to the advice my buddy gave me when he taught me to ride a mountainbike in the mountains

[cozymoose]

Great tips. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. As I have opened a new chapter in my life. Been riding street for the better part of 40 yrs. I'm so looking 4ward to this new off-road experience. Keep it up. Hope to see you on the road, or off, some day.😊

[MisplacedMotoVlogger]

What you said about the sand and getting too slow is exactly what happened to me a few weeks ago. I just got too slow, and I looked down right in front of me, and down I went. You guys who can tear through this stuff shows me it can be done, and I just need to practice, but maybe on a lighter bike.😄 Thanks for the tips, look forward to your next one.

[gregernst]

Some difficulties I have been having have been nicely addressed by this video. Thanks for hammering in the basics of good riding technique.
