Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2026
If you want to, you can also conquer challenging off-road terrain with it. However, those who don't have to cover long distances will yet prefer the lightness of the standard T7. The World Raid's wide tank is noticeable in its ergonomics and handling. The high-quality suspension, on the other hand, copes well with tough off-road passages and, thanks to the steering damper, the bike remains very stable even on fast dirt tracks. 6-axle IMU and Ride-by-Wire also allow the integration of cornering ABS, drift and lean angle-sensitive traction control on the Ténéré long-distance flagship. However, the quickshifter must be paid for separately. The bottom line is that, in keeping with its name, the World Raid is aimed particularly at world travellers and is very well thought out in this respect with a wide range and plenty of off-road comfort, yet not quite as comfortable as other touring enduros with a stronger focus on asphalt.

The big GS Adventure is and remains a great motorbike for any terrain - even for tight corners. The low centre of gravity of the boxer engine, the longitudinally mounted crankshaft, the upright seating position and the powerful but easily controllable torque from far below are simply a force. Although the Adventure version has a higher seat with more weight, which is a decisive hindrance when turning or manoeuvring, in terms of performance the engine also has so much punch in the big GS Adventure that you can let it rip. The BMW's braking system is stable and excellently controllable, and the equipment and electronics can be upgraded considerably - as long as you tick the boxes on the order list. Of course, this pushes up the price, but the many fans of the fat GS Adventure obviously don't mind.
