Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally 2025

The new Tenere 700 Rally is a fusion of the beautiful design of the previous Rally Edition, inspired by the old Teneres of the 80s and 90s, with the high-performance components of the Tenere 700 Extreme. The high-quality KYB suspension and successful, revised ergonomics make it a conqueror of all trails. Never before has it been possible to ride a standard Tenere so hard and at the same time so stylishly over hill and dale. But it also wants to be driven sportily through off-road terrain. An overly cosy throttle hand only suits the fast-working, sporty suspension to a limited extent and with the high seat height, you don't want to be looking for ground contact with your legs too often. However, those who are adept at conquering off-road tracks can have a lot of fun with the new Tenere 700 Rally. The new electronic features in no way diminish this riding pleasure.

It's amazing how much an unagitated, practical all-round motorbike like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE can drive into your heart. Probably it is precisely because of this clever design with manageable electronic features that can be optimally adjusted to personal needs. Thanks to the excellent ride-by-wire system, the engine seems more powerful in the lower range than the displacement would suggest and does everything right both on and off-road. With 220 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear, the chassis is really well tuned for off-road, but clearly also offers an advantage for road riders on bad roads. The ergonomics are good, but tall riders should consider the higher, optional seat because of the somewhat acute knee angle.
