CFMOTO 700MT 2026

CFMOTO 700MT 2026

The CFMOTO 700MT impresses as an affordable adventure touring bike with comfortable ergonomics, good riding performance and solid features. The engine offers linear power delivery, but requires revs. The suspension is comfortably setup and masters bumps with ease, while the high weight hardly disturbs during the ride. Weaknesses are evident in the brakes and at higher speeds due to increased vibrations. If you are looking for an uncomplicated, classic bike with good features at an attractive price, this is an interesting option.

Comfortable, touring-friendly riding position

Comfortable suspension with good setup for long distances

Neutral, effortless riding performance, easy to turn into corners

Good features for the price (TFT display, connectivity, traction control)

Excellent price-performance ratio

Engine requires high speeds for rapid propulsion High weight makes manoeuvring difficult

Pressure points (especially rear brakes) are spongy

Turbulence on the helmet despite adjustable disc

High vibrations and unsteadiness above 135 km/h

Yamaha Tenere 700 2026

Yamaha Tenere 700 2026

In 2025, the Tenere 700 features ride-by-wire, traction control and riding modes for the first time. Strictly speaking, it may have lost some of its unique selling point in the travel enduro market, its purist approach, but this does little to change its character. It is still the versatile, robust adventure bike that feels at home on loose surfaces and also cuts a fine figure on the tarmac. If the new electronic features are not a reason for increased interest in the new T7, then perhaps the many improvements in detail based on customer feedback are. A fixed tank cap, offset clutch cable mount, reinforced rear end and adapted fairings may not sound like much, but in practice they make the Tenere package more pleasant and practical than ever before.

Great, powerful engine

Beautifully responsive suspension

Many changes in detail that make the Tenere more practical than before

Easy to read, beautifully styled TFT display

ABS mode remains active when the emergency stop button is actuated

ABS button in the cockpit for quick deactivation of the ABS

Very good ergonomics for upright riding

No cruise control available for an extra charge

Strange indicator switches

No tubeless rims available

Somewhat little space for large feet on the footrests

Low permitted payload
