Yamaha Tenere 700 2025

Yamaha Tenere 700 2025

In 2025, the Tenere 700 features ride-by-wire, traction control and riding modes for the first time. Strictly speaking, it may have lost some of its unique selling point in the travel enduro market, its purist approach, but this does little to change its character. It is still the versatile, robust adventure bike that feels at home on loose surfaces and also cuts a fine figure on the tarmac. If the new electronic features are not a reason for increased interest in the new T7, then perhaps the many improvements in detail based on customer feedback are. A fixed tank cap, offset clutch cable mount, reinforced rear end and adapted fairings may not sound like much, but in practice they make the overall Tenere package more pleasant and practical than ever before. The next time I unintentionally activate the ABS on my old Tenere using the killswitch, I will miss the new T7.

Great, powerful engine

Beautifully responsive suspension

Many changes in detail that make the Tenere more practical than before

Easy to read, beautifully styled TFT display

ABS mode remains active when the emergency stop button is actuated

ABS button in the cockpit for quick deactivation of the ABS

Very good ergonomics for upright riding

No cruise control available for an extra charge

Strange indicator switches

No tubeless rims available

Somewhat limited space for large feet on the footrests

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT 2022

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT

touch-screen colour display

good ergonomics

long-distance capability

windshield perfect for off-roading

Standard handguards not very robust for off-road use

Electronic operating concept requires familiarisation and close examination - keyword: flood of switches

Windshield offers manageable protection
