Congratulations on your success. Amazing work

Thank you, amazing video. Answered all the questions I had, and some I didn't realize I had.

Been a long time subscriber! So happy to see where you are now! Keep grinding hard mate!

Great job guys, well done. Just love it. Own Tenere 700 , will buy next one Raid Edition, love these bikes.

Great honest explanation, Manuel. Well done 👏👏👏

Thanks, man. Really appreciate your review!!

Great video! Much ❤ from 🇨🇦

Fantastic video. Great to hear from someone directly involved in its development, but who can also articulate the needs of lesser mortals /riders than Rallye experts like yourself.

Excellent review!

That is a MASSIVE amount of Tenere's!!! Thanks for rocking the T7.

Love your work Manuel. You are giving me the inspiration and confidence to get back on my bike having had some major health concerns and not being able to ride for over 6 months . Okay so I do own a ktm 790 adventure R rally. Don’t hold that against me. But our biking spirit is connected . Thank you again for your brilliant channel. Chow Daz

Welcome back guy!!!

i could imagine how comfortable it is to ride this bike. it is stable. could reach long distances without having to worry about fuel availability. thank you Manuel for sharing the experience.

All I can say is I’ve had the bike for three days the world raid and I am in love with this bike handles amazingly😊😊😊

Another professional, amazing video! I wonder if/when this new version of the Tenere will come to the USA.

cool video - more please

Nice review again. Well done! How would you judge on the long-distance capabilities of the new seat? Is it comfortable enough to go on long trips day by day? Or would you recommend any other seat for long distance travel?

Great video, good job on explaining the changes on the tenere world raid. People are saying that you can fill the tank fully just by using one cap filler?

Thanks for all infos and review about this new monster. I end up bying one. I went to try one,and that end up with me buying the same.

Awesome work on the new T7WR, sick looking bike! Video is straight to the point…now that you have someone that can save it for replay:) Someone lost their job. Anyways, I’m in Canada…any idea when and if we’ll get the new edition?

Greetings from Texas, USA ! Just bought a T700, we can’t get the Raid here, yet . Enjoyed your thoughts comparing the two bikes.

Fantastic video! I bet that you,Tarrés and Adam Riemann could outsell the combined force of Yamaha dealers in the world, from a shed without Wi-Fi in the middle of the Gobi dessert.

Great video. Just a couple of question. Why wasn’t easy pull clutch installed and better rear break as standard?

Nice video thanks. I bought T7 world raid.I had T7 rally edition before.WR is diffirent bike than T7 rally. The suspension amazing. I'm happy 😊

Excellent video and honest explanations! One question: is the braket that holds in place the Akra still welded to the frame? All other brands usually have that held in place with a couple screws in case you damage it.

I was really wanting you to custom build a T7 for myself…now I’m thinking a T7WR for sure! How and when could we make that happen? I’ve been following you for a long time now, I’ve watched every build and every video you’ve put out. It would be super cool to make a one off T7WR with you!

Looks much more like my XT660Z in styling. Pick mine up next week.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

great review! I'm almost ready to get the last 2023 Raid here in southern portugal at a discount! I'm wondering if you have experience with the Tenere World RALLY bike that's come out. I see very little about it. Seems cool but the Raid gets a lot more exposure.

Awesome build. Where can one find the full rear tank you are using? I'm not talking about the regular left side camel tank. I have googled it in vain.

Love my World Raid, it handles a lot better than my standard T7 which I’ve now now sold.

looking forward to your version of world raid....

Hi Manuel, what do you think is the best between std or raid for daily commute and some adventure rally event (hat, swank rally ect..) ? Great review!

Great review a lot to think about as I have a highly modified 2019 T7 is the centre of gravity much lower on the world Raid an my T7 has always felt a bit top heavy? mick

I hope the world raid is coming to America for 2025 🙏 i need this bike !

Great vid what one ?say it I want to adventure but would also like to do Greenland and light ensure as I'm worried about size and weight of tank for ensure on the world raid

Perfect video Manuel. This model is pure love. It' s so close to Dakar bike design even more than Tenere Rally version. Btw what is true on news that Yamaha is withrdrawing from Dakar 2023?

Best video of the WR yet. I have a normal T7 with closed cartridges and also the Tractive rear shock. I'm wondering if I should sell my bike and get a WR. Main problem is my height, 170cm. I barely reach the ground on the standard T7 and I travel off-road in tracks like the TET with arround 25kg of luggage on the rear. I find myself having to pass through hard sections with technique and inertia without the possibility of paddling with the legs, cause I would fall down do to not reaching with both legs. It is exhausting.

Fantastic, thank you a great video, my Raid is due in June, Bristol (UK) the information you provided was great thank you, my only concern at the moment, because my plan will be to do as much as i can off-road, and i feel the urgency for crash bars and a system like the T7 wrap around protection, is this possible for the raid, or do you feel it is protected enough, my only concern, (on the main Yamaha web they are out of stock) Thank you for all your efforts team well done.

tks for the vídeo...bug hug

Great Video. Only one thing that I still don't get. Why haven't you gone with Tubeless wheels and tyres?

great video!! im strugling to choose between used world raid and a new tenere 700... i want to ask you something about the springs from forks. The springs inside the forks of world raid are the same like the standard ones from tenere 700 ???

Would you guys race enduro with the Rally Raid version? (Filling half tank only) I'm considering to buy it for my enduro trails and long trips. Maybe for some enduro races, I'm no Pol Tarres but im willing to train hard. It looks way too wide for sliding it sideways on a hill climb if I break traction. I like the Idea of not being top heavy anymore.

Helluh' Mr. Yamaha speaking, I am currently owning a KTM 1190 R. Once a year at my vacation i take my bike along with some positive thinking and start for a big ride. Coming from the Netherlands i always have to go through Germany. Heading to Sweden/Norway or somewhere to the Balkan. Once i get there i am trying to do a lot offroad. Doing this for almost 30 years. Once in the 4 or 5 years i also am doing a larger trip. Sometimes i am wishing that Germany would not exist.🙈 Not because back in the days my father had a bit of a quarral with them but of the distance you have to ride for passing it. Free time you have to do labour for. So i need a bike that can handle those Autobahn highway as speedy as possible. And also as comfortable as possible. Never have owned cruisecontroll on any of my bikes but it really is on my wishlist. Once the T7 came out i did a demoride as quick as possible. Not long. Maybe for a hour or so. Like new shoes you sometimes you can't be sure about the fitting and how they will grow on you. It is a small bike compaired to the T7. The whole bike did feel so completely different. But this is going to expected for sure. Besides that it was that you could almost feel that the bike was incredible reliable. Maintaining large engines on ships gives you somewhat of a "fingerspitzengefühl" when feeling the engine. And also the vibe and sound that this T7 engine is humming out is incredible. I think with certainty that this engine is one of the most reliable engines ever made for a motorcycle. Apart from the BMW K75. The downside that the T7 had for me was that it is incredible topheavy. And knowing that this becomes even more higher with 40 kg of luggage i decided not to buy the T7. Also a few other minor things like the springs. Back and front. But i knew that in time this was fixable. But to be honest i was so dissapointed with this. It made me almost cry. Cause i instantly knew that this motorcycle is really really reliable. Compairing it with a 1190 R is not really a honest thing to do. But the main reason why i wanted to go to a bike that is more easier to controll while not on the tarmac was not completely satisfied. It would not give me that big advantage. Riding all day offroad is very exhausting. And the bike you are using for this is besides your phisical strenght the biggest factor in this. So i let this T7 pass and simply waited. I am lucky because only at a distance of approximately 35 km'ters there is a very good Yamaha dealer called Gebben Motoren. Bought 3 brandnew bikes at that place. And one of them was the Tenere 660Z. So as soon as it is possible i can do a demoride on your latest model. And i really hope that this World Raid Edition will tick the right boxes better for me. But still there is something that has to go of my chest. And i think that a lot of other (potential) customers feel the same way. Why in heavens-name did you guys not fitted out this World Edition with cruise-controll ? I can understand why Yamaha did not do this with the standard and the Rally model. You want a price for the bike as low as possible. But i really think Yamaha should have integrated cruise-control with their World Edition motorcycle. You really should have done this. I am certain that a lot of potential customers still not are not going to buy it because of the lack of it. For certain people having cruise control is simply a must. Will this be possible as an option delivered by Yamaha in the near future. Or is Yamaha so sure about the future ? That there will be a real shortness for certain electronics ? And that this is the sole reason why Yamaha has taken this root with the T7 ? I would not find it even unwise cause if this would be the case most other brands are in real trouble. And also their customers. Having a bike in their garage with electronic problems that can't be resolved. KTM would have a big problem for instance. I hope that doing a demoride will surprice me completely in a positive way. So positive that it weights the balance for lacking cruice control. With this price it should have had it. Thanks for helping build the T7 World Edition. No thanks if you are the one that did hold back on having cruise control on the T7.🙈 Greetings from the Netherlands,👍👍 (That small country besides Germany and filled with Dutch people who want to pass Germany as quick as possible with the help of cruise control)

Great video and recap... Will someone please tell me when this bike will be in North America?

You can get wider footpegs, rally seat, big bash plate, engine radiator guard, and a lighter agropovic exhaust on the Tenere Rally edition. You can also adjust the Fork rebound, fork compression, and shock compression as well. So the difference with the world raid is even lesser than what people may think.

I really need to know if it's coming to the US. As soon as I get the word, I'll find a nearby dealership to put a deposit on one. I don't know if it's a good idea, but this will be my first Adventure bike. I was just shopping around for a used bike, but after researching what's available in the market for adventure types of bikes and wow, I immediately fell in love with the Yamaha Tenere T7. On my wish/ dream list is to do, go on adventures with some friends of mine from here Texas to Canada, camp along, And experience a long journey on the road sightseeing, etc. This is coming from someone who had no idea about adventure bikes I was looking at some Honda, KTM, BMW, and Suzuki I wasn't even thinking Yamaha, after a few weeks of researching the T7, they announced "Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid" but no news on the US release. After finding out the world rate is coming out, I'm holding off, because I prefer the Yamaha looks and that long-distance tank and the price really set the bar high on my list of purchases, otherwise if there's no news on the release date soon then I'll go with the Honda..

You talk about replacing the tank/seat of the original T7 with the WR version, but I am actually curious about the display (and I suppose switch gear). Is it possible to swap the two?

hi great video thanks, I've seen a few but yours was great 👍. I own a t7 '19 and I am planning on to get a high fender, Is the high fender kit from oem raid capable with a standard model? cheers

I use my Husqvarna 701 as an adventure bike, I was thinking I need a rally kit for it but maybe I need the T7 WR instead.

Did you try Transalp 750 with better suspension? You think is good as tenere world raid?

i have got a raid its well worth it for the up grades. i have got a high speck T7 as well. the raid feels so much lighter and the stock suspension on the raid is very good. i am keeping both bikes. i think the raid will be a better road bike because the wind protection on your knees and head is so much better. yout knees are sticking out 1inch wider than tanks so every were you can take stock T7 you will take the raid off road. raid is a great bike.

So the world raid technically speaking seems to be almost on par with KTM 690 / Husqvarna 701 Enduro (LR). Having done special projects on both platforms which brought you more smiles per gallon off-road?

How do we get those LED turn signals in the States?

When will you sell the seat of the world raid !? Best wishes from 🇦🇹

What about default rider mass estimates, usual T7 was configured for rider about 75kg weight, lots of users went for aftermarket springs. I am 110kg and would likt to have some luggage too:), should i look for suspension modifications for this model too?

Would be great to do a light build with a road book or eroadbook

It's too bad they didn't fix the exhaust mount...

Geat news. When will it come to USA?

Are you planning to produce an "adventure lite kit" like you did for the normal T7?

If I want to build a RebelX TENERE, like the one you ran in Sardinia, what is the best base for someone to start? The simple one, or the World Raid. Also the Racing bike has a 48 fork. It will be aveliable for the World Raid bike?

My only question is.... when will this model be available to the US market?

please do a one-on-one comparison with Honda ADV750

When are your radiator flexible hoses available on the website?

Doesn't the Africa twin have touch functionality on the display?

Make it send to canada 🇨🇦 People need this here

Does this model have tubeless tires ?

Tested the world raid a week ago ❤❤❤❤❤❤ i now riding a bmw1200 gs adventure. If i would have the budget i would have switched. But i have to input to much in the change 😢😢😢

Manuel- im looking at adapting my 2023 US T7 to fit the GYTR tanks. Ive looked over the parts diagrams, and so far, I haven't seen anything to make me believe that it isn't possible to do so. Were you stating that the expense isnt worth the hassle or is there something preventing the WR tanks from being installed on a normal T7?

quando farai i componenti speciali per la Tenerezza World Raid?

When will the Tenere world raid be available in the USA?

Any changes planned to infamous exaust and muffler?

It would be super cool to get the WR in the USA, Yamaha...

I hope the World Raid comes to Asia... I'm waiting for some good news though...

💯🔝💯 👏😎

A worthy replacement of a ktm 990s with 265mm suspension? I ride fast flowy gravel roads quite a bit with enduro front tire and desert rear.

I'll be honest, not sure if I want to trade my Tenere for a WR... So far it's handling everything I throw at it and eating it with gusto

How much is the difference in seat height of both standard and world raid (forget about numbers - just to have a practical idea) . I can only reach one leg on standard tenere , will I be able to do the same on world raid

Do you feel that this bike can be a tourer?

Has the bike changed in the ability to lift it after a fall? Still top heavy etc?

It seems Yamaha is now caught in a Catch-22 by not bringing the World Raid edition here to the USA. Their reason is that the regular Tenere 700 isn't selling well enough - but now it's because guys like me are waiting for the World Raid.

I want to when when and if we can get the world raid in the US

Who sells WR footpegs?

If the two fuel tanks are linked via one fuel-pump, then why bother with having two fuel filler caps? Looks Cool? Costs more!? Any good reason?

Somehow i don't buy this, longer suspension travel and steering stabilizer on Raid version were needed to support heavier tank. Still prefer lighter, slimmer standard version for heavy off-road. World Raid is for long distance touring with some gravel road not for racing or enduro. BTW looking what Pol Tarres could do with standard version proves to me I'm right.

Please ! Please ! Tell to anybody that you know at the YAMAHA corporation marketing team to send it to the CANADIAN market as fast as possible, like : NOW 😉! We are desperate to get the WR up here….! 😩. My Yamaha dealer has a bunch of us hopelessly waiting in line to put our feet on the WORLD RAID pegs. Thanks for your great job on the superb bike 👍. Now Yamaha : please build and ship them like there is no tomorrow… Cheers

I have the World Raid and I love it! The stock exhaust is way too heavy and needs to be replaced. Everything else is awesome.

I hope the World Raid comes to the USA.

ABS. Why can't you switch it off with one button and on the move? There's a button but only for switching on. Makes no sense in off-road especially when the ABS is automatically switched on every time you start the engine.

I think we can say for certain that ktm and husq haved showed and proved to us the benefits of low COG via their low slung tanks. What I don't get is why you don't copy that. I think bike would be even better then as it stands today. EDITED: Sorry sorry sorry. I didn't catch that on the video at first, by then you did the side by side with sight line and I saw it. The tank IS lower.

Is it weird if I’m uncomfortable with how close he’s standing next to the other dude?

Are the tanks plastic or metal? My T7, riding it when there is less than half of tank of fuel if great. When the fuel tank if full, you feel that weight up top. I never understood why Yamaha would only put a steel 16 litre tank on an adventure bike. It's a poor and lazy design. If someone makes a twin tank design for the standard T7 I feel the tanks will sell. No way in the world would I put on the current after market larger tanks, even more weight up top.

I'm very excited to havve one next year, buuuuuut: -whyyyyyy two caps on the tanks 🤨 they are connected no, so one it's enough. The last version was with a stupide old sryle cap and now with two, Yamaha what is your problem with that 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 -Scorpion tiers are not good for off road and send, aaaaaall riders know that, whyyyy still put them, why I do have to spend more mony on changing tiers 😤 - Tuuuuuubless, my god I hate tubes changing them is a night mare 😤😤😤😤😤, ok you will say for off raod is beter and other staff, fine make the rimes tubless then for hard off raod you can put HD tube or bibmosse, but for most of as as normale riders we will never need them d the punctire is easy to repare on a tubless. - Hand gard, my god it's so obvius a bike that gose off raod will hit the ground and fist thing is the handel bare, plaqtic handl bare where is you mind Yamaha 🧐 For profecional riders thay can do anything and sponsors are there, we not every singel cent count to us 😮‍💨. Not easy to find good parts in Algeria 😢 so I need a bike with all options and easy fix once at all.

just ridiculous is the double cap fuealing! why not one?

We need a tenere weighing 180kg wet not 220 kg...

Preferisco la rally alla world raid

p̷r̷o̷m̷o̷s̷m̷

hype....for 99,2% of riders is a standard one as good as the raid model and saving 3k is BIG DEAL

Hi all. I will speak to you in all sincerity. I don't get a point of view on a motorcycle by looking at Paul Tarres or you or any other rider on the T 700 Teneré. If you want to confirm the choice of the new T 700 Teneré entrust me with this bike on a long test loaded in solo off-road travel mode. (luggage, tent, tools, etc.) I have had the T 700 Teneré since July 31, 2019. I have a very average driving level. but I mainly use it off road. and often alone. (so no one to help me) Yamaha should have released a new lighter model and there we see "a new" higher heavier motorcycle and off road it is anything but good overweight. the original quality of the shock absorbers is really poor in off road. Yamaha should have thought a little longer about the orientation it wants to give to this bike. I'm not sure what the success of the 1st model is... higher... heavier... more expensive... more more equals fewer customers. See you soon

There are way better bikes for the money

Great content thank you! I have sent you an email, hope to hear from you soon 👌🏼😊
