Six Months on the T7: Yamaha Tenere 700 Long Term Review

If I had to sum up my Yamaha Tenere 700 review in one sentence, it would be this: The Yamaha Tenere 700 is without peer. No other adventure motorcycle even comes close to offering this amazing combination of capability and affordability. Still, the Yamaha T7 is not perfect, and in this long term Yamaha Tenere 700 review, we'll run down the pros and cons of owning one of the most capable and hardest to get adventure motorcycles on the market today. The good parts about the Yamaha Tenere 700 are many. It's affordable, capable, reliable, fun to ride, has amazing torque, and the perfect amount of horsepower. The Yamaha T7 is a simple machine. You can just jump on and ride this adv bike without worrying about navigating or memorizing an endless array of menus or ride modes. When you get the Yamaha T7 off road, you find out just how much thought and attention went into making this one of the most capable and best adventure bikes in the world when you leave the pavement. Still, this yamaha ténéré review is not all positive. There are a lot of things that can be annoying about the bike. The T7 has a stock seat that is basically unbearable, and it's simplicity is an advantage but also an Achilles' heel. My Yamaha Tenere 700 six month review is not all positive. At the end of the day though after spending months working on this Yamaha T7 long term review, I can tell you this. It truly is a unicorn. There is no other bike like it on the market today.
