Fuel range was an issue in Australia once we're in the outback. If you make mistake navigating you can easily waste 100ks before you realise. We welcome the extra fuel, even though we'll only need it 5% of the time.

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV i absolutly get your point

In the western United States there are absolutely situations with more than 200 miles between stations. A section of the NVBDR is 220 miles of off road with no services in between. I just put a camel tank on mine and it's all good. I agree it is probably the best adventure bike currently on the market, but there's always improvements which can be made.

@@MeerkatADV good point, the camel tank is the best option in my opinion.

And here we are in Australia thinking if we can’t get 350 - 400 ks from a tank we have problems. You can easily do those distances between towns and even then there’s no guarantee fuel will be available.

Dude, in case you didn't know, Pol Tares is a world champion trials rider, extremely fit, and extremely talented, and no doubt extremely well paid by Yamaha, and all the sponsors. This is common trick that manufacturers use to sell bikes. The average rider can most definately not ride a T7 the way he does. As well, the bike is extremely modified. So it looks like you fell for it. Watching the T7 riding with the "proper" enduro bikes, he was definately putting alot more into the ride, to make it do what it needed to do, to compete. He is highly paid professional. If it was his choice which bike to ride, what do you think he would pick to ride the Red bull?

Pol tares is well paid for yamaha. And is bike is modified. Stock t7 is garbage motorcycle. Bad enginered. Overheating. Overpriced. And more. I tired to write all flaws.

@@davidcolinfisher1034 pol tares as never been a world champion in trials,fact.

@@pablobablo2057 🤡

@@davidcolinfisher1034 I can confirm as an old ,weak , unfit rider with a standard T7 ,I cannot ride like Pol Tarras apart from my campfire yarns.

its perfectly good for a long tour, just put something soft on the seat. idk what the presenter in the video is saying about not good for long distances.

It ain't a GS or a Goldwing, but it is perfectly capable as a tourer, although I prefer to stick to "A" roads where possible (50-60mph) rather than motorways, as windblast becomes a bit of a nuisance around 70.

It's fine for touring, the stock seat isn't great but the ergonomics are fine. Legs cook if it's hot though.

Same, why would you buy it if that's all you use it for, just buy an Enduro , more fun. The T7 is a great touring bike ,I'm more than happy to go a few hundred kms on it on road.

So what did he say?

@@Steven-wz7shNo reply unfortunately.

Pol teres is pay for yamaha and have modified t7. Stock tenere 700 is garbage. Bad enginered

I'll have to check that out .

His bike was heavily modified. But yeah, he ripped that thing

@@jankelnieuwoudt9759 i mean it was quite well modified but it was more weight reduction and traction then anything else he does everything billy bolt does on a husky on BMW GS very well known for it.

@@brettknibbs9351 The biggest difference in my opinion is the suspension. The stock setup is ridiculously undersprung. With the right suspension this bike is epic.

@@jankelnieuwoudt9759 im a short skinny ass guy so spring problems rarely get me but i can see that it would defintely cause problems for a bigger human being for sure mate

Pol teres is paid for yamaha. And his t7 is modified. Stock t7 is garbage. You have to change half motorcycle. And still you dont upgrade enginered flaws.

Did he do stuff that is really hard? No. I get your point, but come on did you watch the video?

I agree!! this video is FANTASY bullshit, and 99% of riders CANNOT do this stuff, period, end of story, quit dreaming......
