Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2023

Robust, well-balanced and user-friendly - that's how the Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid can be described after the Bosnia Rally. If you want to, you can conquer tough terrain with it. But those who don't have to cover long distances will prefer the lightness of the standard T7. The World Raid's wide tank is noticeable in its ergonomics and handling. The soft chassis, on the other hand, copes well with hard terrain and thanks to the steering damper, the bike remains very stable even on dirt roads that are flown over quickly. The complicated ABS deactivation procedure is annoying in the long run. one would like to see a simple "off" button. The bottom line is that the World Raid, in keeping with its name, appeals especially to globetrotters and is very well thought out in this respect with a long range and a lot of off-road comfort.

High-torque, finely controllable engine

Good ergonomics

Long range

Powerful chassis with plenty of reserves

Tank gets in the way on steep uphill sections

brakes could do with more bite on the road

ticklish rotary wheel and ABS deactivation tedious in the long run
