Yamaha Tenere 700 2023

The Tenere 700 now has competition and, due to the simultaneous price increase, is no longer the big sensation it was a few years ago. But as soon as the bike turns off-road, you are simply thrilled in the saddle. The bike is tough and masters even demanding passages very reliably. A really good adventure motorbike. However, if you pretend to be an adventurer and only ride on tarmac, you could make your life easier with a different bike.

very robust and reliable appearance

sporty and sleek appearance

playful riding performance

amazingly sporty and fun engine

good workmanship

good suspension with a practical adjustment range

Relatively low weight compared to other touring enduros

very tough

ABS disengageable

very off-road capable

Not very comfortable on longer tours

Brakes feel a little lax on tarmac

Very short equipment list in terms of electronics

Load changes at low revs

the operating concept with the fiddly wheel was not well received during the test

Clutch modulation not on a par with the competition in practice
