Yamaha Tenere 700 2023

Yamaha Tenere 700 2023

The Yamaha Tenere 700 is an adventure bike that performs brilliantly, especially in the second part of its category. The Japanese bike is a force off-road. But it also functions satisfactorily as a touring vehicle. The chassis is comfortable enough, the wind protection is there. The seat is a little too spartan, but the engine is ideally suited for long journeys. The Tenere offers sufficient space and power for two, and the chassis also has enough reserves for the additional load. However, the brakes are overtaxed by the additional weight in some riding situations. However, as long as you don't leave the cosy touring mode, the Yamaha Tenere 700 also makes two people happy.

Motor very comfortable in continuous operation

relaxed riding position

Wind protection available

Suspension sufficiently comfortable

Engine with sufficient power even with two riders

Enough space for average pillion rider

No "ABS-OFF" button available any more

Annoying menu operation

Slightly jerky throttle response

Brake overtaxed in some situations with two riders

Seat uncomfortable in the long run

Opinions are divided on the RS. For many, it doesn't seem as earthy and honest as the EX, and overall it doesn't seem coherent. But at the end of the day, you don't find any plastic where there should have been metal. The 17-inch rims offer a wider choice of tyres. The standard tyres might not be the best choice for this bike.

Lovely and high-quality workmanship

great engine tuning

wide choice of tyres

Lean angle clearance

Unharmonious turn-in behaviour with standard tyres

Top performance
