Yamaha Tenere 700 Extreme Edition 2024

Yamaha Tenere 700 Extreme Edition 2024

The Ténéré 700 Extreme replaces the "Rally" model variation and scores with even more off-road capability. Brutal KYB spring components with 230 millimetre front and 220 millimetre rear suspension unleash their full power off-road and promise uncompromising rides even on single trails and demanding tracks. The off-road-optimised titanium footrests provide perfect grip on off-road terrain.

Suspension at its best

Cool look thanks to high mudguard

Titanium footrests for better grip

Enormous ground clearance

Very high riding position

ergonomics take some getting used to when cornering

splash protection slightly worse due to high mudguard

BMW R 1200 GS 2009

BMW R 1200 GS 2009

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
