Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2023

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

You might not see it at first glance on the new BMW F 850 GS, but it really is a completely new design. Both the steel chassis and the drivetrain have been changed, the engine enlarged to 853 cubic capacity and designed to be even more powerful with the 90-degree crankpin offset. As a result, the new F 850 GS presents itself more sovereign than excited and is convincing both on the road and off-road. The very special thing about the BMW is the ability to tailor it exactly to your personal needs thanks to the extensive range of accessories - there is actually no feature currently available that you can't get on your F 850 GS. However, this also drives up the price.

superior engine

adequate braking system

very good seating position

easy handling

extensive range of accessories

riding modes

traction control

off-road capable

Disc too low

sound could be better
