The dynamics between you guys is magic. Infectious.

[jasonenders]

T7 is the Hilux of Adventure Bikes. Super reliable, easy to get parts and accessories, comfortable to ride and solid resale. But for me, it just doesn't put a real 'smile on your dial' like others in the category.

[longbow]

I'm pissed that the T7 WR isn't available in the US for 24. I'd trade my KTM 890 ADV R in a heartbeat.

[frankensteinsgarage]

I'm with Sean. Keep it light, keep it simple. A few subtle mods just to help with grip. Tyres, pegs. I'm never that far from fuel that I need the larger fuel range. I ride for fun, not because I have to be somewhere miles away in the middle of nowhere.
Great vid as usual guys.

[Michael_Shay]

I think there's something really special about the T7, I'm happy to see it becoming more and more popular. Although it's still a heavier bike, I think it's a good thing people are moving more towards middle weight ADV bikes. To me it just seems more safe for everyone. I'm also just tired of seeing the GS lol

[toltod]

So wish we could get World Raid in North America. Was able to sit on one in a Dealer when visiting Spain a couple weeks ago....too bad it wouldn't fit in my carry on or it would have came home with me.

[kostasrestas]

hallo from Greece !!!!
Another T7 owner that love this bike !!!
cheers & have fun !!! i follow you !!!

[jamesfairmind]

Wow, $25, 500 Aussie Dollars for a World Raid? In the UK they are being discounted to £10, 500 new which equates to $19, 750 Aussie and on top of that you get £1250 ($2350) worth of Yamaha free accessories thrown in! I guess we are closer to France which is where they are built but even so...

[powertrip]

Another great video- thank you. Great to see the countryside you went through. I gotsta do this Nundle thing some time when I am back in Oz.

[AusMoto]

Great comparison, Dave - you definitely showed that there is good value to be had going with an older gen T7!
I do find myself every now and again regretting selling my 19 T7, especially when I'm on the freeway on my WR250R, but then I forget about it when I'm in the tough stuff 😆

[glennaltschwager]

Great comparo review.
The 2019 would get my vote with the suspension mods, but I would go for the camel side tank like the ride adv boys use..

[john]

the spongy brake, please use a vacuum tool and bleed the rear brake. pump a few resivors of fluid as fast as you can and it will be good to go!

[garysankey]

Brilliant 😆 Great episode and very informative.

[JanKurth-ukwu]

Push the check choke lever all the way over as far as you can push and hold it will make a difference for cold starting.

[sauberc]

Drinking game: drink every time David says "YUP YUP"

[Fret-knot]

Now I know why my last bike didn't live up to expectations, for touring. I didn't have enough farkles attached to it. 🙂

5:09 "How much does it weigh?"

There's a quote I saw on r/motorcycles, probably butchering it, but it's to this effect: "The guy that inows how much their bike weighs, is the guy that doesn't ride it."

Whether you want to take that as: "Once you get rolling it doesn't matter, doesit?"
or
"If I was just moving around the garage and not riding I'd be bothered to know how much it weighed innit right?"

Is up to you, I choose to interpret it as; if you care how much your bike weighs, it's not being used (to it's full potential) and just being pushed around in a garage. As that's the only time weight matters.

[ninjalawbreaker]

You lucky, lucky, people, what a fantastic route on dirt bikes

[alananderson]

Yamaha! Always my favorite! Although I currently have a Dr 650. But still have my '85 XT 350.

[IngoPeters]

Omg, that ending was the funniest thing I ever heard!!!
