Bought the T7 as a first bike. Love it, especially when you get used to it, now it fits me like a glove.

Just the sound when you switched to the AT brought a smile to my face. And I hear it everyday LOL.

Thanks for the comparison! I've never ridden the t7 or a African twin! Watched a lots of videos. I'm bike poor roadking, cbr1000rr, versys 300x and wr250r if I had to get rid of all but one I'm keeping my wr just fun and enjoyable!

I like T7 more it have special spot in my heart love that thing But if i need bigger adv i would go for AT instead of GS And another thing is T7 is clean from all the electronics meanwhile AT is filled with all the electronics you can imagine IMO T7 is true ADV and have enough power that is comfortable in sand and dirt and other offroading stuff and also good enough on roads and highways meanwhile you can't ride AT in tricky offroad because of stupidly over power that you need electronic assistance to get it in control and i really hope honda will make similar thing like T7 with balanced power with no electronics Saying this as a fan of yamaha honda and kawasaki im enthusiastic about their bikes

Wow, just for the sound of it, I'd pick the AT! So savage and brutal! hehe

Good comparison. There's different category regarding bikes. Like you said you choose your wr250 because it does great on dirt, but try to take that on street and cross country. Thats where the T7 and AT comes in. It all depend what's you're into and get that bike accordingly.

If Honda releases the Transalp 750 in the USA this next year I would have to consider that. Otherwise I'm planning on the Tenere 700. I looked at the Tuareg 660 but the nearest dealer is like 300 miles away and I'm alittle nervous about possible reliability issues. seems like they have lots of seal/gasket leaks on that Aprilia 660 motor. Really dumb stuff they shouldn't have to worry about. The Africa Twin looks great but is heavier and costs 50% more.

Thanks for this match. I am short rider on experience and long on size 6'2". I ride a MY16 AT, manual, and love it. As I go further on off road I feel the weight of the AT, although it is very nimble. I tried the T7 and it feels lighter, it fits my size (as the AT does), it has (more than) enough power for my skills, but.... I am considering a swap, because I usually ride more and more off road and I need to improve my skills. Each drop on the AT scares my bank account, and my doctor as there are no more spares for my bones. But, when going for my rides there is always some road miles to go and back, sometimes on highway. Then, surely the AT is superior to the T7 and I would regret loosing it. So, my doubt right now is: a) swap the AT for a T7 as a "do it all" bike; or b) keep the AT and buy a training mule for offroading. This last option brings another problem: I can't fit on a DRZ. I tried one (not fitted to tall rider's) and couldn't feel it easier than the AT. Or a XT 650? Would love to have your opinions about which bike would fit as a training mule for tall guys.

Got my leg over the twin this past weekend & it was huge!! Way to big fir my skill set off road. T7 is going to push me to learn real quick.

Africa Twin and an old thumper. The twin is a legend reborn I cant get rid off. Parts are double priced than that of the Yam. it is heavier. But just as heavy as its father. So it is fine with me. Crashed into a deer and the twin survived. If a Tenere does that I'll get one. Just messing. All the experience I have had with the AT makes it impossible to sell it. Emotional value is a thing.

I love both, I was all Africa twin, then I saw how good and less gadgetry the T7 has so I was all T7, now from your video I'm all Africa twin again haha I'm 6,2 so I'm good either way, but the sound of the Africa twin does it for me so I'm all Africa twin, BUT, it will boil down to price, all though the sound of the Africa twin will always win for me and it's looks, I need to watch more reviews on both, but I'm now thinking I'm going to be going for the Africa twin, that sound is heavenly everything else I can work with and adapt to. ooohh decisions decisions.

No contest once you put it across all surfaces. The bike needs some tweaking for anyone over 6ft but once setup its great.

I would choose the Honda if it would be thinner. As it is if nothing new is announced at EICMA I will have to choose between the T700 with it's infinite mods or the Ducati Desert X (got to test both). Price wise The T700 would bring me at around 14.000/15.000 EUR without the fuel pouches that mount on the crashbars. The Desert X around 17.000 EUR or more. The Ducati has awsome power, feels great on trails and it's not as wide as a honda nor as slim as a T700, it's somewhat in the middle. Ride it if you can.

I liked both. Liked the Yamaha more, felt like it had more character. Overall the WR250 is king tho lol. What insight and info did you have regarding the chassis on the 3 in comparison?

Enjoyed

Had a 2020 AT. Took out the SAs. Sounded awesome.

If it wasn't for my husqvarna 701 it probably would have been one of these 2 bikes for me

I’m torn on these. The t7 would be better for in town and trails but the AT would be better with a passenger and long distance. I have a drz now, I can keep that for the harder stuff. The T7 will probably keep me out of trouble too lol. The faster the bike is the faster I ride.

What exhaust is on the Africa twin and is it tuned or have an aftermarket fuel commander or such?

You forgot the DR...where's the Doctor? Haaa. First it was KLR vs DR. Then looking at suspension costs, other mods and power it was like ok, spend a bit more for the T7. Then it's hearing the AT roar like a lion which sounds awesome. But then it comes back around to you'll always have to do suspension work if your old and fat like me plus adding a larger fuel tank on the DR and T7. It just never ends does it. Spreadsheet time to determine full cost. Oh I should probably mention I don't ride off-road yet and need to learn. Why would I go beyond the DR for a first bike? Add the bigger tank, drop the front gear a tooth, go with better suspension, warranty expires then do the carb and air cleaner mods. Later go for the 790 kit, big head, exhaust. Then I'm back into the T7 price range. At least the T7 has adjustable suspension even if the spring are too light. Bla bla bla old man, STFU.

Wonder how DR650 compares to both of them, off-road?

t7 kickk ass sold my 17 at for it best so far and its not slow at all race my body on hes at dead even on street

AT 2017...¿?

T7 vs the 701 Enduro.

Dude with T7 you drive slow like a schoolgirl and wit the AT you spin the gashandle, why you didn't do that with with the T7

Why swear to then cut it out?

Why the hell would you compare bikes with 400cc and $8,000 difference??? -1
