The short version

I am a little bit torn and maybe future videos clear things up: You very often change so much with those bikes, *I sometimes wonder if the T7 in stock is soo bad, that without your setup and your knowledge it's not the legend that goes with the hype!* Especially with that MT 450 you rode - which also maybe is a good base to start with - you could explain if those 20 kg difference to the T7 are worth it or if changing the suspension is a must have for you ... or simply do your thing and maybe show one path to go, discover and evolve with on the road to become an adventure rider. There are so many bikes, so many compromises ... like the T7 is by far not cheap, maybe that 450 MT could be called that, that V-Strom from the video is a legend on it's own - but with low ground clearance ... but does all that really matter in a sense of riding a bike and having fun? (Except the money part, because with a limited budget like most people have you cannot buy a Ducati Desert X). With all those reviews of new and shiny bikes out there I really do wonder if all that matters (weight, suspension travel, horsepower) on my road to become a better rider and make memories on the way to that.

Adam mate , when will we be seeing a Bob and Marge “getting it done” T-shirt need one for next years ABR fest lol

how much did he buy your bike for?!?

Just like to throw it out there but if cfmoto release something like a 550cc in the coming years would you do a review or ride it? As I’m a Perth local and have had a t7 and currently have a donkey but I want to join the dark side 😅

@Adam Riemann You have to review the Classic LC4 KTM 640 adventure... please....lol

@MotologyFilms I know you’re a T7 guy but what’s your option on the Norden 901? I watched your videos of your adventures on the TET with it and am curious to hear what you think about it. Thanks

Great to have you involved, see you at the next one! By the way, was it a riding shot or mug shot to camera? I'm curious who this glider is ...

which tires is this adam's new stock tenere? is this STR?

Now is it a coin flip for which steed gets to cross auss next?

Was wondering if or when you'd feature another T7 in your channel and you didn't disappoint.

So why you buying it?

Does anyone know the name of the song at 1:30 or at least where he gets his music from?

Siiick! What front fender is that? Anybody know?

Just looking for your opinion on my tenere 700do I really need to go with a high pipe? I Ride rocky terrain water crossing occasionally a log to hop, I noticed you ride a bit harder than I do and you use the stock mount locations with your akro, which leads me to think I’d be fine keeping the same set up. Main concern is stories of swingarm and frame damage

I am curious, with the T7 raid being available and then the Aprilia Tuareg Rally 660 getting so much hype, what you think about comparing the two? Or have you taken a look at the Aprilia in general?

I don't get what the advantage of World Raid is vs. regular T7. 7L bigger tank? One of the main T7 advantages is its weight, and World Raid is heavier.

I would love to hear your thoughs on a well set up CFMoto 450MT, given their presence at Romaniacs and globally!

I'm extremely curious about what he thinks of the Tuareg.

Isn’t it top heavy and too tall for people of average height

Do you feel you are riding at a different level after doing the Redbull Romaniacs?

Adam I'd be interested to know why you prefer the T7 over the KTM 890?

Adam! What does improving your riding skills feel like at your skill and experience level? Are there still things you have to “process” or do you just “do”? All just intuitive by now?

I'd like a t7 but I'm 50 and under 80kg. Im not sure wrestling a 190kg top heavy bike is a good idea.

Where’s the 450MT video

wow that footage from 1.00 to 1.05 .is that sped up ? that small piece of footage is just so damm good ,hats off to whoever shot that

Where did you flash it? Off the road?

I am curious to know if there ever had been any changes regarding cooling the engine with additional equipment. I assume in this movies the bike runs above 90 Celsius

Excellent, wish I were there. I wonder if we gonna see you on 2027 Albania Quest?

What dash speedo mount is that on your old bike your buddy bought ? Looking for something like that to mount the garmin next to Speedo

I'm also thinking about trading in my 1290sar for the T7. Are you glad you did it? The weight doesn't seem to be much lighter on the specs sheet but the power certainly does.

I'm curious to see you on the new ducati desert X just to see what you think of it.

This may be non-associated, but why are there no performance upgrades for the Gen3 KLR650? Different Cam profile, ECU flash, big bore kit, high compression piston, etc. To be sure the KLR platform is capable of handling much more than it is originally tuned to be. It leads to the question, what is the KLR truly capable of becoming?

​@Mo-kl4fbthe first world raid made the Tenere less top heavy so why wouldn't the second generation?

@arvedludwig3584 How is it less top heavy if its carrying more fuel up there I don't get it

No F900GS ..? 🤨

Is it bad that the first thing I thought was "would Akrapovic be making an exhaust for an Kove 800X Rally"? :) I mean, I understand why Adam chooses the T7 as they sponser him, but I would rather have the Kove with an Akrapovic ;P

Would an 890R be better right out of the dealership? Me thinks it would be.

Please tell me you still have your gs 1150 with you and it's not your bike riden by devil on the shoulder

Did yo you notice the power is like restricted in the first/second gear?

But does Adam genuinely like the t7? I understood he was paid to ride it.

@MotologyFilmsi hope there’s a video of your thoughts on the mt450 in pakistan coming , since they’re so popular itd be good to hear your opinion

Sir, I am eagerly waiting for your review of the new Ducati Desert X V2. Can I expect a review?

Very capable bike. whats it like to pick up?

Do you think its much of an upgrade from the previous world raid?

Always an honest review mate. Keep up the good work 🇦🇺👍. Also where abouts is the 20 / 21 creek crossing track ?

Did the bikes have many kms on them?- break in ? Or just ride them I just put deposit on cfmoto450mt I just think it will bit more comfy then drz400e

How do you lile riding this vs the Drz offroad? I know they are totally different bikes but how does the suspension compare?

Lance, how tall are you? I haven’t seen the WR in person yet. There’s a lot to like about the bike but at 6’2” (188cm), I am nervous about the tank pushing my knees out. I keep thinking it might be better to buy the standard version and just make some investments. Presently in the U.S. we can find much better discounts on the standard model as well.

also - was this ride on the standard scorpion STR tyres? If so.. you did well!

Ahh, I saw you all ride past my place, I wondered if id see it here, didn't know it was the Apprentice. and Wattos is my LBS. Im heading down to see him about the lead time on this exact bike. On a serious note, im similar height to you, how did you find the bar sest pegs ratio? Was the hip, Knee angle? And when standing, are you overly hunched? Or somewhat straight?

Can anybody give me the meaning of that word, for some people riding a tour on road is already adventure...

Sounds like a great build. I’ve never had cruise control but can see myself using it all the time on the bigger trips. What have all the parts added up to this far?

Guess its heavier yet now.? More top heavy guess😮

So come on Lance give it up, who was the guy who binned it on the “ new tyres”? 😎

Im interested to see how the aids react when you go over a small jump. That tank could be a problem when sitting down for a taller person than yourself. Looks really good, but too expensive for me and i feel weight is an important factor for when you have to pick the bike up after an off. cheers 🍻

Reflash ecu is a must. Get rid of catalyctic converter.

dont!! please dont! just ride bike offroad with friends!! Adam wants from you just that! we all do!

​@MotologyFilms when the time comes, just return a pile of cash instead. It's much cheaper shipping!

China is getting into the market! That's why

​​@316hooliganThat's right none of the best brands steal from each other. And also none of the big brands have poor quality issue in their past or present, no chocolatey cams😅.. Big brands always build best bikes with best quality 🤟

No Adam. Your wrong. I'm watching this all because of you. As my life of riding was taken away by others that believe within themselves they know best for me. Pushing me out of sight out of mine only to slowly rot away for the past decade.

Because its a sponsored gift and you cant say no to a freebie

Air filter is under the tank

Because it's an antiquated chassis and overall design. It costs more to make a KLR "good" than it does to make a modern bike "great". Source: I modded the absolute crap out of a gen 1 KLR, which is a better offroad bike than the gen 3 to begin with. Engine, suspension, etc maxed out. Still couldn't hold a candle to a stock T7.

​@canopyjunkiethere you go, you see? Different soles, different gloves, maybe not even the right color. So close. Yet so far.

​@CurtisBrandtbut that means the rider makes the difference, not the bike.

​@Mo-kl4fbthe tanks sit lower and to the side. That's how.

​@superwag634 Daily vodka doesn't extend someone's life. We didn't evolve to thrive on the consumption of alcohol. It's a mild poison at best and a death sentence at worst.

They (and BMW) have given him bikes in the past, and he has bought them (both?) With his own money 💰 it IS his job to create content that drives the bike market 😮

​@jobeberry-frith that obviously has nothing to do with fact that that particual yamaha and that particular cf moto was riden by world 2 best riders

@jobeberry-frith lol. That race has very little to do with the bike. The BMW did fine.

​@luca_dierkshe wouldn't of signed if that was the case

@jobeberry-frith Nothing to do with the bike, that race tortured everything, the teams with the most resources won, Adam was NEVER there to win........

@jobeberry-frith The MT450 and T& raced at Romaniacs bear little resemblance to the production bikes - watch some of the videos by Krankit et al and educate yourself. BMW used Adam for marketing their bike, all they wanted was a finish with a close-to-stock bike and to get eyes on it. Riemann used BMW to get an entry into a race he always wanted to do and to get content. Both achieved their objectives.

Yeah but they still sell and attract a lot of buyers due to having less power and being more manageable. The suspension is next level as well. Real beast off road.

@andyabik​​⁠no we had D908rr on the rear. They are a great tyre.

12 kgs more then the standard model but honestly it’s only felt if picking it up from the ground otherwise it feels very nimble and light whilst riding.

And who else would do a more brutally honest review then you

Always so good to watch the Master at work! Superb skills and knowledge which you’re happy to share 👍

about to hit 1 MILLION !!! awesome acomplishment.

This is what 30+ years of riding enduro bikes looks like, skills, skills, and more skill, unlike us fat and happy riders who just ride but have never raced...so good to see new riders taking on the challenge.

Adam the T7 is how I found your channel and have loved every minute of it keep up the great work Best channel ever Thanks Dave

oof. the bmw suspension was collapsing while the t7 ate it up like it wasnt even there

Great bike, but I must admit, was hoping for a F650 or XChallenge to be the next addition to the stable.

By the end of a day, man, i would be the first in line to purchase a Soundtrack from you videos. Somehow you always catch the right moment for right tone/ambient, that instrumental music could not be more spot on while we enjoying watching u tearing the road or calmly cruising through most magnificent landscape. Every video from you is a journey and we cannot wait to join you on your adventure once again. Cheers m8

good event adam. 👍

Big bikes can dance too!

Great bike..

Good to see Geoff still riding and telling tall stories!

The real deal Unicorn. Quality matters

Thanks for sharing Adam. The War Horse muster looked like a massive success. New T7 world raid !! This is going to be good. Welcome home mate

Hi guys, all I can say is wow wow wow what an incredible video keep up the good work Adam I really enjoy your videos and all the craziness that goes with it from Logan city Queensland Australia. I live on the big island

Riemann. About to hit a million subs. So many years of dedication to this channel is paying off. Cheers!

@Mot@MotologyFilmspe my original note didn’t come off as critical of Yamaha. I sincerely meant it in a lighthearted way. As hard as you’re working for all the brands that you have relationships with I hope and pray they’re extremely appreciative…as appreciative as your “team” is. Please keep inspiring us! Thank you, Adam!

For what it's worth Adam's videos helped inspire me to buy a T7. Absolutely love it!

your videos on the tenere is really what made me want one so bad and how i discovered your channel, i was originally dead set on a klr and once i started looking more into adv bikes on youtube the algorithm blessed me with your darkhorse videos. That basically sold it, that and seeing the tenere spirit team really locked it in lol. Its such a fun bike it really feels like a big dirt bike

Thanks Adam always great to see boys being boys 💪👍

Your videos are satisfying to watch. You have an amazing grace on a motorcycle. I just bought a T7 5 weeks ago. Suspension is getting done right now and I’m chomping at the bit to ride.

kudos to him for keeping at it at 50 years old. stuff like that keeps you young. don't ever stop.

almost 1m subs, this channel has grown so much, great effort and keep it pinned in all aspects.....

Love the slow Mo🎉

Hahaha. Thanks for including my ugly mug. It was really great to see how your filmmaking brain just activates in the midst of all the riding chaos when I pulled up and told you that story you just went bang, we’ll ride here, you tell that story to the camera. Cheers mate.

Good to see you out in the thick of the Muster and enjoying yourself, James. Can't believe you punched it straight home in 3-days interstate. Solid effort mate

Adam!! Es satisfactorio verte montar en moto 👌

Here's the video that gets you to a Million Subscribers. Well earned Adam!

Awesome Adam! T7 greatest hits video is just what was needed! Thankyou!

I may not know Adam but I do know, he’s a cool guy!

You're the reason I have one. 🫶🏼

I really enjoyed this video. The new World Raid looks awesome and The Warhorse Muster looks like a fantastic event.

Looks like an epic few days with great people. Thank you for sharing, Adam.

Adam! This is the Bike made for Adam Riemann. 💪😎👍 Modify and ride it your way. Ride safe! 🍀🙏🍀 Carsten 🇩🇪

i watched your red bull series and fark , i cant believe how hard that was, your the most amazing rider ive ever seen , id give anything to be able to ride half as good as you , you make us older aussies proud mate

tbh being on a T7 feel fantastic! one day... best part after seeing all those modern bikes rip by to bring out the warhorse and rhino! BEHEMOTHS

FOX? cool. They have a lot variety. We will miss Alpine. But you are in good hands, LEGEND. Best from Brasil!

You made a very good decision, buddy 👍🏻

I am really happy to see you back in the saddle of the T7. Will be a blast seeing you building it up to what it's meant to be! Really nice!

Love seeing Carson on his very own Rhino. You’ve corrupted another one Adam.

Great stuff Adam,Yamaha are and always have been serious competitors, I ride a 1996 tenere and although its not a T7 or compare to any twin out there it is a era that yamaha were getting it right . love watching you ride and love all the videos. On another note would love to see you and Chris birch collab that would be an epic ride

The same on Cb500x with tractive (RallyRaid 2) I like it more than Transalp, so agile and fast handling.:)

I bet you can get on ANY bike, and ride like a cat set on fire...

A properly detailed review, great.

Perhaps but for me it was the best I’ve ridden to date. Really nice to be able to ride it.

The 2026 Ténéré 700 World Raid looks ready for serious adventures!

All I know is it was nice having good tyres to ride on. The electronics are top notch indeed and I agree if you prefer them turned off it’s a lot of money to not use them.

Hold that thought man. My next few videos through the Blue Mountains shows the suspension working beautifully. The bike rips through the hard stuff. I’m hearing good things about the Tuareg though.

Greetings from the USA. Looks like a really good bike can't wait to see you get it home. Have a great day!!

Thanks man. I’ve got a few rides and vids waiting to upload, it was a weapon out on the proper trails. Stayed tuned.

Great vid and what an awesome bike!

Another great video! Love the content keep up the great work!

It definitely is expensive but it was still a treat to ride overall.

Great video mate, love the content.

Lance, you probably are my favourite Aussie motorcyclist youtuber. The manufacturers would be smart if they send you long term bikes for review

I don’t think I’ve seen you ride better, it seems to suit you. Well done.

The tires,What a way to start the ride for ol mate. Cool to see all the events you get to take part in man, keen to see what you get upto with the bike 🤙

Your skills keep on improving, im sure the new aids help, but you seem to shine in comparison to the other riders, keep up the awesome content!!!

4 Years of owning a Tenere 700. My Next bike? Tenere 700! It's love.😍

I'm waiting with curiosity and excitement. It looks very nice. I'm really enjoying using the 2023 model.

OMG how slow was I riding 🫣 but yeah it was only meant to be a little “test ride” and I do apologise for not having the ABS and TC turned off, also the leavers being all weird n that… Essentially Josh has bought himself a Demo Bike, I think 6 people had a little ride so nah it was never setup properly. I was glad to sell it to Joshy as someone was gonna get themselves a bargain so when the opportunity arose to do the deal it was a no brainer for me to do a few more days of my already planned NSW tour using my van to get the T7 to Bathurst and wind up in Coffs Harbour. I always wanted to explore a bit around The Bong plus it’s always a pleasure to catch up with the myth the man the legend 🤙 Oh and Kel, yeah she’s a good one👌

Heya Adam, it is always a pleasure watching your rides. My partner and I, have been wanting to attend the Warhorse event, but each year we are doing adventures on the bikes on our own- Hoping we get to attend maybe next year. Greetings!

I got off the piss in my late 30’s I didn’t have time to stop and drink I’m 42 now and starting to feel like I’m catching up with life and the house, actually might take the 450 out tomorrow for half a tank

Reliving the event. So cool to make the cut in a motology vid! Looking forward to next year.

i had the first T7s in the country back in 019 day one i knew it was going to be a winner world wide once set up right they so much fun !

I love my 2025. I just wish the WR came in blue.

I'm a former T7 owner, honestly was too much bike for me, which is why I respect your skills. I simply started riding way too late in life to be a pro like you, and that's OK. I keep it light, and that feels right.

F 900GS Rider Here - To anyone who thinks this is somehow an insult to BMW, or the F 900GS, I assure you it's not. The F 900GS also hauls ass on the dirt with slick tires, I can attest to that personally after a little mishap in the Santa Barbara hills. (there's dirt to be ridden in them hills)

I bought a 2000 KTM SXC after watching your videos, this was 6 months ago, about to turn 38, it's been the most fun I've had in many years. Now planning on a T7 in 2027. Thanks for pushing yourself and inspiring us!!

Just came back home not 10min ago from a trip to italy with my '23 World Raid, where i took it to some offroad mountain passes (assietta, sommeiller, jafferau, etc). And after 3 years and 26.000km on the clock, i love this bike more and more by the day. It truly behaves like a dirt bike. A big heavy one, but the chassis, geometry and suspension are at SUCH a high level, that if you know what you are doing you can pretty much keep up with enduro bikes on the trail, and ride back home 12 hours of highway in comfort the next day. After 25 years riding and god knows how many bikes owned, the world raid is the first and only ive ever bought brand new and the first and only i know for sure i will never sell. Its that good..

Divorced sold everything Bought a 2024 T7 here in FR almost 2 years ago and haven’t stopped riding her. The adventure is addicting the bike so friendly… just absolutely vacillating between turning it into a real dirt bike, but the back roads here in Europe are just so fun from the mountains to the beaches.. don’t want a real road bike, but am addicted to the GForce’s in the terms on this thing. Riding Racing moto whole life. This is a fabulous new chapter…She is a friend she is a lover. Just wish I could XL Dirt worthy her suspension without a complete rebuild…. She just feels right and you moved the pendulum in her direction, I thank you for that.

Sorry I couldn't be there this year after doing the first 2. In this age of technology and social media BS, it is so important for older generations to reconnect with more simple and organic style activities. Adventure riding and events like these with a bunch of mates and like minded people is a great way to find resilience and yourself, away from commercialised distractions. Keep it up Adam and crew.

I already have my Rhino GSA 1150. I am complete ...

Cool vid Adam Riemann. Very much enjoyed. Always hope to participate. Seems all had a great time riding and learning to ride. We all can use the knowledge and the practice. I finally get my WR delivered on Saturday. About fing time. I did get to ride it. Amazing machine. So much different than my standard models. Been waiting several years now. Hard to believe. I hope the new life without alcohol is tolerable. It damn sure beats the alternative. Hang tough on that one. I walked and never looked back. All good mate Nomad Mountain Man

I had a great time as usual and brought a friend this year. But it was a twisted turn of events and I only just made it. I trained all year to be better for this event and made some excellent progress. Then in late June I cooked the clutch on my MTX800 training out in the deep sand. CF Moto couldn't send me another clutch until almost the end of August. Seeing as I was waiting for a new front rim for 7 months and the muster was coming up, I was livid. So I was riding my fc450 as practice and things were getting loose. I was using advanced riding techniques I really had no business doing at my level. But it had worked so well for months now, I just kept doing it. In August I came out of the deep sand in second full send and started wheeling through whoops. 2 whoops, 3 whoops, 5.....back steps out, off at full speed. Almost broke my back and pelvis. Had a crack in my femur head. Couldn't walk for 8 days, and still wasn't right by the Muster. But I'd decided I cant wait months for parts so sold my MTX800 for a loss and bought the new F900 GS and picked her up less than two weeks before the muster. I asked myself if it was time for a T7, but I really wanted the F900 ever since Adams review last year. I was training again in the gym and feeling good. My protection gear arrived the night before the muster and as I was trying to get an engine bolt out of the F900 to fit the crash bars, I ruptured a tendon in my elbow and realised I was far from fit and the accident had taken a lot more out of me than id realised. I couldn't move my arm it was just hanging limp when I went to bed. Woke up at 0330 and got dressed which took an hour because i still cant use the arm. I had my family help me pack the bike the night before. My mate arrives an hour late and off we go. I was going no matter what. We got there pretty easily and set up. My arm was not good, but felt like it might be getting better. I gingerly rode through the day and survived the training day. Maybe it will be ok tomorrow? I went to bed with high hopes. A storm came in and somehow, my tent poles snapped and the tent collapsed. It filled with water and I started getting cramps. Had to get out of the tent around 11 pm with leg cramps and was just walking around the camp in the rain in my socks cramped and cold. I got about 3 hours sleep in the shed that night and by the next morning, my elbow was just not healed, it was worse. I packed up all my gear which took all morning with the elbow and grabbed a couple of hours sleep in my mates tent while he went for a ride. I woke up around 1300 and was ready to start riding. I got dressed and headed out on the course. First decent corner I took, I lent on my elbow and it just folded. It wasn't holding shit up. I lost the front and binned my new bike. It took some damage. Ok, so I'm not sending it today. At least I'm here. Got some great training, got some real life experience on items and systems that don't work, and I'm just going to have to ride this beast at a slow moderate pace, hit the deepest sand I can and see how she goes. I was delighted to see that she handled beautifully in the deep sand, even at a slow pace and that made me happy. As I'm riding slowly through the course, Adam tore past me full send, probably in the best riding and physical condition he's been in a decade and I'm pottering along, a years worth of practice hidden from everyone. The elbow was cooked man, and the thought of sleeping in the rain without a tent was a bridge too far, so I headed home Saturday night just before dusk to avoid the roos. I don't drink alcohol anymore so I don't last long at parties anyway. Hopefully next year I can string together a better build up and turn up ready to ride. I still had fun, even though i was miserable much of the weekend. But that's adventure riding. Not everything is going to be gold. And just like the fond memories of the days that sucked when I was a tradesman or a soldier, i'll look back on this muster one day and realise I still turned up, and have managed to string together every Muster that has happened from inception. That's my goal.

Just got new tyres on my Super tenere let’s go

They have given it to me as a media loan bike ... when it comes time to give it back, I'm buying it. This one will be a keeper once I've turned it into Darkhorse 4.0

I have one of those.

And here I thought I was going to buy a Himi 450!

I only ride 1200 cc Teneres.

Welcome back to Yamaha. I’ve got a 25 T7 and I’m going to be adding a World Raid

since i watched my idol @MotologyFilms my little naked bike is now all terrain/off-road bike. from pavement/asphalt to dirt roads 👍👌

22 World raid owner here, you know it makes sense, after the cross Australia trip I knew you'd come back, hope you do Romaniacs on it next year?

Still on my sorted 2016 Africa Twin and I'd be there if i lived there. Looks like a blast

I bought a black T7 World Raid 3 years ago and it is all your fault. Yes, your fault, not Pol Tarrés, despite all the amazing stuff he does with the T7. And I say your fault because I just absolutely love my bike and I only wish I could do it justice with my riding skills. Sadly, I am no Adam Riemann or Pol Tarrés, but I still love that bike 🙂 For some obvious reasons, I sometimes call her Dolly Parton but usually it's just my Jolly Jumper. Thank you, mate!

When all is said and done nothing beats a T7. My 2024 T7 World Rally is near perfection. Classic throttle, ECU flash = smooth as butter. Will never sell it. Adam on the T7 has always been the real deal. And I totally get what Adam is saying about the F 900 GS. I tested the 900 GS during a hard offroad event in Germany. I never felt comfortabe on it. It was unpredictable and snappy on the throttle. Not linear at all. Hopped on DesertX and felt directly comfortable because its geometry is similar to my T7. And then I got back on m T7 on the same track. Man, the package and the rideability of the T7 cannot be beaten. My second adv bike? AT 1100 standard. Also perfect. Adam, test the 1100 AT for christ‘s sake. Bloody hell! 😂 You have proved yourself wrong before.

Adam bought Africa before me but I bought 2026 t7 world raid before Adam :D

I got into shape to ride better because of Adam! Down 30lbs stronger at 60ish

Im on a donkey right now. Maybe one day I'll upgrade to a T7, but man those transalps are looking really good too, nice to see one on the course!

Inspiration❤Still working to ring-out my Drz!!! Stoked 2b running BDR's at 65 ThankYou❤Cheers!!!

I owned a standard T7 partly motivated by Adam's adventures on one. I personally found it a first class machine but top heavy on rough ground. I have reverted to a Honda CRF 300L which is infinitely easier to manage and work on my skills. I aim to get a T7 again after another 100k km or so when more experienced. I will keep the CRF 300L though too, it's a beginner bike yes, but can do it all, just slower.

I’m literally on my way home right now with the exact same bike (even the same colour). Traded in my 1290SAR. Thanks for the video Adam - awesome.

Awesome! Looks like we will be on same bikes , replacing my super tenere for a world raid soon

It just simply checks off all the boxes. I love my Tenere. I bought my 2022 and sold my KX450 and have been loving every minute riding my Tenere. I love I can modify my bike in my garage and you definitely played a roll in inspiring me.

I loved my klr so the T7 has over taken it and respect your decision!!!!

Honestly the T7 is a beast offroad. I managed the gnarly middle part of section of the transeurotrail in France. Only once did I have to park the bike against the hill (intentionally) because I was too fast on the big rocks. That was with stock bike and luggage.

​@nschuttenoddly enough.... I do have a SM10 helmet and tech 7s for the rougher trails, though, they're the adv tech 7s with the "better" sole lol... I prefer my 100% gloves over his A* though lol

​@brianglendenning1632thats pretty accurate lol.... currently upgrading to a rally tower because I found out the hard way the KTM headlight is $1000... no stranger to taking lines that are above my pay grade and failing spectacularly 😅

​@CurtisBrandtall jokes aside, I do really like the KTM.... I don't think I have enough years left to get better than Adam, but I have enough left to have a lot of fun being a mediocre old man on trail ;)

@userer4579Because I own the same bike, and now I will see all it can do.

only just taken delivery of my BMW, Yamaha take my money £££££ 🤣

Like everything in excess. My grandma drank a glass of vodka daily with her morning fried eggs. She lived to 99. Died healthy from electrocution RIP

Yes, it's these videos that "made" me buy a cheap WR450F and then spend too much fixing it up so I can try riding on gravel or off road for the first ever time at 54.. I'm expecting there to be a lot of knee pain @Nine_883 😂

started with ADVs at 35, my life will be a little short I guess?

But I love ADV on my R100GS, it ain't riding anything like this.

I've got a 1300 GSA and love it. But my use-case is nothing like Adam's. If it were I'd pick a Yamaha like this over the F900GS any day of the week. Nothing like Japanese reliability.

I rode the MT450 for 10-days in Pakistan straight after Romaniacs ... BMW are not stupid. I am not contracted to any motorcycle manufacturer, only Alpinestars, Akrapovic, Pirelli, Motul, POD and LoneRider ... that's why I rcan ride the WarHorse, Donkey, Rhino, and everything else that is worthy of featuring on my channel. When the time comes that I have to give the T7 World Raid back, I'm buying it. It'll be like the Warhorse in 30-years no doubt.

I can’t afford a T7 but I still want to ride. Hopefully the MT 450 will work. Maybe someday a T7

Having TracTive suspension on my Tansalp750 I will never buy one (T7).

Still own 1 even if u have elon musk money...cool

I will never sell mine

I'm in two minds about latest T7 models. I love the stripped down, bare minimum rider aids of previous models. But there are times on my 2020 where a little traction control would be nice. Might be time for an upgrade...

I'm considering the world raid too.. it's a great bike! but also waiting for the EICMA .. there are rumours of a Tenere 900...

I took her out the other day. Feels like an enduro bike compared to this big thing. Running like a dream.

I haven’t ridden the older ones or even looked at them to be honest with you, but from the talk I was hearing from the other guys, it is their best one so far.

Well it’s weird because I ride faster and better off road on this big bike than I do on my DRZ4S. On the real steep snotty hills the smaller bike wins for sure but overall on general off road this bigger bike just eats it up. Its suspension is so good it makes you a better rider. So im riding better on the biggest bike I’ve ever ridden. 🤷

I sold my Drz for a '24 model.. got it a lot cheaper as a run out. Knew this techy model was coming out but glad I went with the older one. It's an insane bike for what I like in Nz - 100km plus of road to get to fast gravel roads I used to rally on. The lack of tech of the older one appeals to me. Great to see you on one of the big dogs! Don't get me wrong.. new one is epic and the tech will appeal to many. Love your channel - keep up the epic work lad!

@The_Apprentice_Adventurer Yeah man - long live the DRZ! I really didn't want to sell it, but could not afford to keep both. Maybe buy a cheap older one again one day. Yeah the big bikes are interesting.. I think the T7 hits a sweet spot where its got just enough power, and is capable enough when you give it a nudge off road. Good summary of the tech - it's impressive.. but always better to know the bike itself, not rely on features. Don't get me wrong - cruise control would be nice though haha. Cheers mate, looking forward to the next video!

@The_Apprentice_Adventurerbeen able to test ride all (690 enduro) expect for the 800x T7 bottom of the list purely due to weight.

That was awesome! I was at a dealer a few days ago and was sitting on one and almost bought it then and there! Looks like my next bike for sure. Cant wait to see where you take it!

I just picked mine up here in the USA and its been incredibly fun. I really like the dual tanks and design of the World Raid. Looks so good in person.

Lance, I run a '24 T7 and love it, the only thing I wish it had was cruse control. Ive added crash bars, 6.1 gallon tank, driving lights and a few more small goodies. My Atlas Throttle lock just came in, it's going on tomorrow, hope it works ok. My last trip was 2655 miles in 8 days moto camping, the throttle lock would have been nice. Oh yeah, welcome to the dark side, just get the bike, she will only be mad for a little while.

I bought a '24 T7 new and the missus still brings it up when she's already mad at me for something else

Man I would agree with that. I’ve pushed this pick fairly hard since this ride and I’m cruising over the terrain better than ever yet it’s the biggest bike I’ve ever ridden.

Mate has the earlier world raid and loves it

If you are going to call it a WORLD RAID and say “adventure has no limits”,then make it available to the WHOLE world, not just half of it !!!

I think the price has gone to bigger category!

Love the video, after driving BMW on Romaniacs saying its good bike, about 4 week later buying a Yamaha. Well done BMW.

I have been stuck with Japanese bikes my whole life so that is why I now only buy KTMs and other Euro bikes. It is not that they are so much better or anything but I do appreciate the philosophy and engineering thought behind them. I also appreciate the pressure they put on the Japanese business structure and their products, they needed the competition because their stuff was just getting old. Arguably I still see Japo stuff as to conservative, not pushing the envelope enough. Also looking at bikes like the Donkey you are paying more and more for a bike that has not changed since the 90s. That is not what I want. What I want is to buy a new bike with everything learned up until now, not a 30 year old bike at todays prices. So as far as Japo bikes go, the rice burning demons, I do like the T7 but I also kind of have to shake my head at it a bit and wonder if there isn't just way more to this story. A lot of my friends drive them and I will have to say that I still like my 890 ADV R way way more. My friends always argue that their bikes are so much more reliable even when they are broke down and I am not.

Just promotion. I stopped listening to that shit. Just ride a damn bike. Over and out.

Burning the car was .... well, not good.

As an ex T7 owner, I have to say that is the best trail bike for sure, but for these kinds of journeys and off road tracks is still too heavy, a 690 or 701 fits much more in my honest opinion ( I sold my T7 for a 701 Enduro) and it's been a super good decision

I assume because you aren't paying anything close to full retail for it😉 Over marketed, over hyped and over priced...

Sad to see Adam sell out to Yamaha. The T7 is overrated but I understand that Adam has a family to feed

Frankly, this is old stuff. Nothing new. We all know he was riding a Tenere or his old Honda.

Id still buy a Tuareg over a T7 tho. T7 just felt so cheap, but then again im not THRASHING the bikes like this 😂.

I'd prefer not to support companies and countries that just steal most of thier intellectual property and produce clone bikes with bad quality.

Man... I wish I had an area around me like this. There is no place to ride here.... I need to buy myself a farm. 🤣

I always enjoyed your videos, that would be the first one I haven't. In a world with so many challenges not only environmentally, I just can't see any justification for burning a car on purpose..... Apart from that, please keep up the good work Adam, cheers.

Way overpriced Many equivalent bikes much cheaper

tenere tenere tenere everyone has to have that turd. the transalp rules

on a side note, WTF is up with lighting a wreck on fire? I don't get it, what's fun about making so much mess? Otherwise bikes, meet ups, sharing learnings etc, all great, but that part I really didn't get and was a bit disappointed to see such a nonsense

I like Adams stuff but he still hasn't made 1 comment regarding the Tuareg 660, despite loads of ppl saying it is better than a tenere.

KTM 890 Adventure R and Aprilia Tuareg 660/Rally light years better than a T7. Yamaha is a fat, top heavy super tanker. Fueling on the 2025 T7 is atrocious. Clutch grabby, seat hard as nails. Decel fuel cut is aggressive on the flyby wire T7 and top end fuel cut is to keen. Air intake to low. Fuel to high. And yes I've put plenty of K's on all of them. The old T7 had a much smoother power delivery and was superior off-road for its linear delivery that refused to stall.

The world raid is a name I just can’t wrap my head around

I didn't really hear anything why you're buying the T7

$27k in australia youd have to be a complete imbecile overpriced piles of crap

True. My stock DR650 was a shit box until $10k of modifications.

I didn't like the WR at all. Constantly hitting knees on those tanks.

BMW gonna be pissed but for your riding this is the right move. BMW does not make something as rowdy as a T7 / Africa Twin. Everything they make is far too tame. That's why I own a 1300GSA for long range 2-up stuff, but my DRZ4S is the BDR slayer all day every day.

Still find the T7 lacking in many ways. I guess for the money it’s alright. But I’d still have to spend $6/7 k to make it perfect in my eyes , which is a total turnoff for purchasing one. I’d rather ride my 500 exc , and my trusty 1090 R for a few more years vs selling them and purchasing a world raid.

Have dominator and it can do the job. Absolute dogshit suspension and ergonomics, especially if you're taller than average you'll not be comfortable. But the engine reliability and low end torque is cool.

2026 T7 WR biggest disappointment ever for me of any bike owned before

Modify a world raid as much as you want and it still won't match a Kove 800 rally and a fuel bladder just in case.

If the bike is already that capable, why does it need a $3,000 suspension upgrade? Any bike can be made significantly more capable when thousands of dollars' worth of aftermarket parts are supplied. Sponsor me and give me enough free parts and I'll have a Honda C90 round the course. Sold out

Only well experience riders should ride adv. bikes on the dirt. They are the most dangerous bikes you can ride in the dirt.

Nice vid, last ones have been booooring as F 😂

I like the T7, but they need suspension upgrades. KTMs come ready to go.

Today's ADV bike are an oxymoron... The complexity of systems. In particular the electronic nonsense. Today's bikes need to be sold with a MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) certificate. In the middle of nowhere I am not not looking for a missing software update. More parts more problems. I say that not just as a rider but as a mechatronics engineer. Part marketing, part regulations. That is the reasoning. That ABS that turns back ON each time you restart your machine. That is not Yamaha's fault. The T7 was a machine that attempted to be a true ADV bike. Maximized geometry, engine, suspension and minimized nonsense. That was its spirit. With the 2026 T7 it attempts to become everything to everyone every time. But it now runs the risk of becoming another version of everything else.

Yamaha just buys up every influencer 😂 makes it even less appealing to me.

In reality, just another top heavy adv that's made even more top heavy with extra fuel

Its even worse

Dont really get the thumbnail.

I respect decisions! BUT a big one. With sponsorship funds. With sponsors provided parts to setup the bike. With sponsor provided consumables. I respect decisions. Tell us mere humans to do what with our limited budgets. Tell us what is the cost of your dream setup.

Alcohol is a poison. Nothing good about it, unless you wanna risk ruining your life. Life's good without, I got a bike now 🤘

How much did Yamaha pay you lol

It’s for content surely. Really no reason not to buy a KTM which is widely regarded as superior in pretty much every metric in the ADV world. Suspect reliability maybe but that’s been blown out of the water. The 3 890’s I’ve owned have all been great.

@Kevwa51 why would I want to pay double for an Indian bike.

BMW have a far way to come there bikes suck in the enduro and adventure realm 😅 and to see Adam at Romania doing that race made me think bmw have put a road bike with some off-road trinkets and are no where near the perfection that Yamaha have done or cf moto 😂

@vitskr1I’d say blame the machine not the rider you can see that bike wasn’t built for Romania it’s screen tower fell off 😂 when watching the bike race I thought yh I’m not buying one anytime soon

Its no better than any other large adv bike

Interesting how Yamaha had the nice folks at RideADV prepare these bikes for the Australian launch, including fitting proper offroad tyres, yet earlier this year CFMoto kept their 1000MTX entirely stock [as you buy it, no sexy tyres] for its Aussie press launch and no one complained how the bikes performed, in fact, everyone was full of praise on the way they performed - and at under $19k. That said, the electronics, particuarly the rider aid TC settings on the World Raid are clearly superior - which would be a lot of money to pay for those folks who turn all that stuff off as soon as the gravel starts.

Looks like fun. Still less suspension travel than a Tuareg and 20kg heavier. Plus the top heavy nature of the T7WR would make that feel even heavier. Still A good choice though if you don't live on the east coast of Oz.

Love your other videos, but what the actual F is this? You're just riding on gravel and flat pack. Literally any ADV bike would be fine here. All that epic music paired with the least epic track, ever.

The WR is too much, too late. If they took a standard base model, increased suspension travel (set hard on the frame like the extreme), put a set of 48mm forks on it, and finally made a GYTR stock polymer tank (not a larger cap one) with wings where the side panels could place against ... they would have a winner. Then make available a wire harness to get rid of all the junk (ABS, Modes, and Multi meter display). It would smoke the WR. Then toss in single disc conversion, a tower that could mount a real nav device, and lose those moonlanding RH/LH controls. Sign me up!

27k in Australia for the top model, for a bike that only has 72 hp, are they kidding? very Top-heavy and underpowered, and now expensive- yeah, that's a wimmer. For around the same money, you can have a Desert x which makes the Yamaha look silly , so who will buy one ..

At that price, no. The 1000MTX, at under $19k, comes standard with heated grips, heated seat, folding mirrors and wireless Android Auto/CarPlay [maps shown on the bike TFT], as well as, the other stuff that's on the WR such as fully adj top quality suspension, CC, steering damper, Brembo brakes, and more. The WR wins hands down of the tech associated with off-road traction control but I turn all that stuff off anyway. Interesting you say the WR feels like a big trail bike, I felt the same way after test riding the 1000MTX for just 5 minutes - I just had to have one. We are so lucky to have so many choices of adv bikes that are on the market at the moment.

$13k USD in the USA = $18k AUD yet $27.4K AUD here.........

too heavy too tall too expensive and when you drop one it costs thousands no one needs any of that

And more power than you need and not enough rear tyre life for outback touring. I find the Teneres are too tall and tippy for me. Combine that with the expensive alloy tanks and it would be the opposite of confidence inspiring in the technical stuff.

@MotoWot they are so over rated i test rode one and hated everything about it god knows what people see in em

ไม่สวย

So the same overweight bike with the 12 year old engine?

A follow-up after Romania would have been very good. You've basically gone from praising/surviving BMW to jumping straight into bed with the slightly revised Yamaha?...Have you no morals man? 😅

If Yamaha pays me to ride their bike I would "buy" one too😉 For an average rider it is too much of a bike.. Kove low weight models are much suited for 99% of us.. China all the way🤟

Who is paying more? Yamaha or BMW?

cos yamaha are giving you lots of cash...!!!!

Adam i'm a big fan of you but the organization of the event are made of stupid people .. to set a car on fire is not smart! They showed no respect for nature abd human health..

It's only light because you paid too much for an Indian bike

You buy it sponsored by Yamaha dude

Are we strong men or excuse making fairies? ​@Mo-kl4fb

Who is this noob telling me about bikes? This guy has to be 51yrs old, what does he know? Does he have any idea how many hours of Redbull events I've sat in this chair and watched?

​@jobeberry-frith😂😂😂 oh boy with these Tenere fan boys. All the same state of mind as the Tesla boys.

agreed. A suburban SUV could do these tracks. I think this is what 50 something years old define as adventure between coffee shops

Joke…. Lawd stop these guys from doing this vids lol weak af

Grabado en Tenerife 😉👍

Nice❤

💣💣💣🤠

Shut up and take my money!! 😍

Legend

I haven`t touched a drop of alcohol in two years since being baptized. You gonna feel great, stronger and more endurance and sharper mind. Good for you and keep it up brother, proud of you.

Hope to see you guys next year

I was never there ....... but I feel like I needed to be hear..... I really need an ADV and PLus ... this is Great Therapy for Men. Just BRILLIANT

Well it’s run in now 😂 Awesome vid as always Mr Rieman . Enjoy your new ride mate

Idk I’m bouncing between the new T7 world raid and the new KTM 690 Rally.

GB, off-road motorcycle immortal.

Cheers Dave

KLR in the corner still waiting for its Akro....

I will get filtered out!

Man,I want to ship my t7 over there and do this!

Why? Just get a larger tank and add the steering stabilizer. Plastic tank saves 6lbs when half full.

as soon as i finish my studies and get full time work im getting myself a t7

BMW paid for his Yamaha :D

I would love to see the XTZ750 on this channel as in joining the lot, such a legendary beast.

That bike must be super light in comparison to the heavy BM

👍🔝

Would really love you to give your opinion on the Strom 800 DE. An indestructible workhorse that handles amazingly off road is right up your alley

why not F900? :D

Today we saw Adam's bodydouble.....

Yeah baby.

"A cruisey trail ride to run it in" yeah right......

Would be great to see you on Tuareg 660 Rally some day 🤘.

Hooligans !...👍

Adam: Ok let's break in the engine T7: !visibly sweating! I'm dead

Great to see Carson got his Rhino

T7 WR! LOCK IT IN.

The power of influence hey Adam…Carson on his own classic Rhino 🤙

I used to drink, i still do, but I used to to

Projection of ones own actions. 🤮

Everyone buying a Tenere should have a mandatory suzuki drz ride first.

Those burnout fireworks in the end? LOL Cherry on top... Adam, your fleet is missing the good old classics XR650 and a bushpig. Poor KLR must be miserable without her two step-sisters. They both would make for an excellent video series. Too bad Honda axed the XR this year.

Fun when they send all that chit to you for free

Why?

690 Rally FOMO??

A cruisy trail to brake in the bike.....🤣

Mateeeee if you ever buy a temu tenere/ cf moto I'll unsubscribe Otherwise love your vids buddy and awesome job at romainiacks

Congrats on 1M subs in advance 🤙

Hoping to see another long term camping trip mate. Pilbara????

I'm not missing this again. See you next year...

I thought it would be a GSA 1300

It is good.

This is so dramatic lol

As many T7s as you’ve sold, Adam, the least Yamaha could do is give you that World Raid!

We need more stories from Geoff Ballard 😂

Nice. Good for you! But I think the new 690 rally opens a new era :)

maybe one day go to the muster with my good ol RD04 !!!

Looks like everyone should attend this event 😁

Happy to hear that, but also very surprised 😂👌

Just made me love my 2020 T7 even more 😁👏😎👍

🎉🎉

Imstickingwiththe DE800 its got more balls the big roadtrain of a bike ticks it all

The Warhorse started the whole: "let's look for some old Hondas" kind of thing... Currently, I can't get those Honda Dominators out of my head. These machines are not just cold iron they have a warm heart that light up our souls.. True legends! Cheers to to the Warhorse!

Dang making me regret getting a standard t7 and not waiting for the wr!

Great video

I best Adam's Misses didn't know he'd borrowed her car to use as an obstacle for the day!

When Geoff Ballard started speaking I cranked 💯

Can't wait to see what Carston will do mods wise with the Rhino and the two of you head out across Australia.

Mums X-Trail 😂

I thought all riding was an adventure in itself. But what do I know 🤷🏻‍♂️

Suspension is a personal thing, EVERY bike i've ever owned, road or dirt , has had suspension upgrades, basically because if Yamaha , or Honda or whoever, built every bike, to suit every rider, you have to fill out a spec sheet and have the bike custom order built to suit each rider, you do understand just how much that would cost right ? And you'd still have to fettle it. Every motorcycle is a compromise, that's good enough for the majority, but if you want to go harder, on a bike designed for long distance travel, or any bike for that matter, you'll need to spend money on ALL of them , doesn't matter what bike it is...

Wicked. Just couldn't get there this year, but will be there with bells on for the next one.

✌️

KTM 690 Rally is on the way!!!! 177kg full

As a Tenere owner that loves his bike, of course I'm going to enjoy this one!

Si tratta di un modo australiano di ringraziare che ti ha fatto correre con una loro moto,assistenza gratis ,ecc.!

please I want to see KING riding Africa Twin 1100 the base model, I knew you choose new World Raid/ Ride the crf1100

I was hesitant to click because I’m already wanting a T7 and everything about this video is going to make me want one more. My DR would have to go to the chopping block though.

They ALL need setting up, doesn't matter what make or model, and most people have no idea how to do it so it'll still cost you..

Dammit Adam, I JUST bought a '26 500EXC-F. Last thing i need is another model to drool over 😂

One day I will buy a T7

Anything with Adam in it , I`m all for it. I love KTM😁.

How about that BMW 900, Nope.

I look forward to seeing Adam ride a T7 at next Red Bull Romaniacs 🤣

Yes please

Dark horse and Warhorse are cool. But I really want more of the 1150 GSA Rhino content! 😁

Burning cars,Not what the eco-crowd fitted their catalytic converter for😀😀

Congratulations 🎉🎉Adam 🏍️

.... outstanding as always mate thank you.!. ... Sandgropers r Us 💪🔥 😎

With ur skillset I think u must go for the baddest ADV even if a bit heavier as ur skills match. KTM 1390 Adv R . The launch video with the Ram TRX off road clips was insane so u would be like that guy maybe.

Bike for life as you once told me ♥️🖤

Comes back from competing with the f900 Ok im ready to buy a T7

T7 is back ❤

I was already planning to get this xD unless EICMA says tenere 900 then I am getting THAT

Legend❤

"If I sell my 890 and get a T7-WR, I can ride like Adam" ~Expensive lies I tell myself: 2026

Not a lie. You only just need to also have his boots, helmet, gloves, etc. and THEN you'll have his skills.

“Well Dr, I bought a T7-WR and thought I could ride like Riemaniac, which was fun until it wasn’t - and here we are”😊

@nschutten Also need to travel to ride where he rides. It's the only way.

@nschutten I am sure the secret lies in what he eats.

If you keep your current bike, you could shockingly out-ride Adam. If you’re a better rider. 😂

Doesn't matter what bike you have it's all about hours in the seat

​@akuskus😂

@nschutten oh man.... time to sell all my Fox gear too lol, dumb logo is 100% slowing me down 🤣

@canopyjunkie Yessir! 💪🏻

BMW must be crying in the corner 😂

I’ve loved watching your vids on the T7 since you’ve started making them. I’ve gotten myself a crf450rl to do some lighter weight adventures on here in WA. You’re welcome to borrow it for a couple weeks!

You can't go wrong always being honest. Looking forward to seeing what you make of the world ride to me. It seems like it might be the perfect bike for me because of its range for gravel road riding here in this country.

Enjoy the T7 WR Adam ✊🏻😎👊🏻

Adam buying the new WR makes me unsuitable happy! 😂

Why?

We adventure riders may be old but how many people can say they ride a 400 to 500 pound bike 70 miles an hour on a deep sand rode or go up and down hills of dirt mud and rock for hours at a time . It takes balls and muscle to to do all that !!

💞

Ahhhh shucks!!!! Now i feel incomplete without one!!!

And just like that, every Yamaha dealership is sold out 😂

I fall into a mid life crisis with every episode you release.

The trick with midlife a crisis is if you are just in a constant state of crisis you never know when mid life is!

actually, its the other way around, when you dont ride the bike you ARE in the crysis :D ride the damn thing :D

Why

Hard not to!:)

Not what BMW was hoping for I imagine 😅

​@jobeberry-frithyou put Mario Román on a BMW n he wins..

😂

😂

Hahaha 🔥

If BMW did not make sure to put an exclusive contract in front of Riemann, that is their loss.

Hahaha😂

@DelaBAJA_86 Not at all, it's really easy to speculate though...

after romaniacs i wanted him to just get an ibex lol

Bollocks

Lol😂 yep

@prolfinator same I wanted him on an mtx 800 or a kove rally

Just putting Adam in there on a BMW was enough of an advertisement. Considering 99% of people who buy a 900 GS won't be on terrain half as gnarly as Romaniacs.

​@3000KTMI'm sure he will,..unless he's contracted to yamaha 😊

@3000KTM Yes Yes! Thats would be Amazing!

Nah, I think BMW get what they wanted and Adam also. The gs900 has proven and of course it’s not perfect. It’s more of a testament that both sides don’t need to bind each other on contracts. For me it’s a better statement if somebody is free tos ay what he wants.

Mean Machine 🎉

No bike is perfect thats why we need own more than 1

@hittler1904 or we adapt to one. I like that more. When you travel you do not get to change bikes. So the more universal the better... these middle weight Adv bikes can do a lot and with fun.

@hittler1904 yes. Pragmatic.

Crazy refresh pull

Wish i was a bigger boy for the T-7😢. My drz400s is max for me😂

Haha, long legs definitely help on these big bikes.

If early riding is any indication....see one in your garage ....soon. Garth

Haha, I can’t afford one man. Unless Yamaha are giving me a free one. 😮

Looks like heaps of fun on one of them, poor scrappy will be getting jealous

Well it’s definitely 220kgs lol. I’ve dropped it a couple of times in the coming videos and I was ok. If you’re dropping it often it will totally suck for sure though.

keep em coming mate

Might want to blank out your speedo when going that fast 😂

Thanks mate. It runs between Nundle and Moonan Flat.

Good watch

It’s a launch, can’t go too crazy I guess, but stay tuned as now I have it to myself and it’s getting proper tested and showing it’s worth.

Should make your own then.

@The_Apprentice_Adventurer sometimes the bikes need to be ridden as they were intended to be ridden is all…

@Pnwatasrdrthe problem with launches from what I’ve learnt you can only follow the tracks they select. Stayed tuned though. The next two videos are enduro type ones showing the off road capabilities of the bike as I believe they are big dirt bikes and I have proper ADV rides coming up on it to.

Just ride them. Don't abuse them, treat them gentle in the first 10 mins from cold but run in is over now. Oils, metals, machining have come along way. Check out Revzilla (Zac and Ari) on their engine rebuild and run in comparison or watch some of the OEM bike build processes. They'll redline every new engine after the bike is assembled as an engine test. Not my ideal of how to treat an engine but an example of modern engine capabilities

I’m pretty sure they all had a couple hundred on the clock each or there abouts. In my eyes they were pretty much new I guess, certainly no talk of riding them easy or breaking them in.

Thanks legend.

@The_Apprentice_Adventurer Um, yeah ok, good sell....

Yeah I totally get it. Very hard to go past such a bike at that price point. Really does come down to which bike does one like and how much are they happy to pay. I agree there are so many bikes on the market to choose from. It’s a dream really.

Mate I’m 6’4 and all legs. I thought the same but once on it zero issues with my knees. I’ve ridden both and if you can afford the extra money go the WR, it’s simply a better bike in my opinion.

​@The_Apprentice_AdventurerI am so glad to hear that. The T7 WR feels like the perfect bike for me. But I was also worried that my knees would hit the tank. I hope the experience with 6.5 is not much of a difference.

Long live the DRZ though right? Lol It’s been great riding the bigger bikes. I really did have them all wrong a year ago. Once you get a certain level of skill the big bikes are so much fun. The World Raid has by far been a highlight with its overall setup. I like the tech but have since been riding without it on just to learn to keep the bike in check. Better for progression I feel.

@The_Apprentice_Adventurer Epic - I am still running the STR's, but plan on a d606 front and d908rr rear combo once they run out. Good to hear!

Bit more ground clearance over the 500 ha ha

Hahaha just a bit. This is a whole different beast of a bike compared to the 500.

You should have rode after us and joined in lol. Since this ride I have angled the bars forward a bit and I find it great. I wouldn’t change anything in that department. Even seated the tank didn’t get in way of my knees which I thought it may. Really nice bike for us taller riders stock standard.

​@The_Apprentice_Adventurerthanks mate. Not sure my old 2003 r1150gs could have caught you.

Thanks man. I appreciate it. I’ll keep doing my best but make sure I’m having fun along the way and hopefully it keeps paying off.

This is absolutely adventure bike! 🔥

Great video my bigger adv bike is a competition between ajp rp7 ktm 690 rally kove 800x rally t7 Probably going to end up with the 800x

That’s a decent list. Value for money though the cf is hard to pass up. Try and test ride the t7 and AJP if you get a chance.

Keen to see it on North Coast sand 😎😉 Sweet looking machine I have to say. See ya in a week or so mate 👍

Thanks mate. It was a real treat to ride and since this video I’ve been pushing it hard. Stayed tuned for sure. Many weeks of vids to come.

That you might as well buy a regular one and upgrade it and have a better bike

How so? This is the better version.

@headonnis3814 hahaha yeah there is no chance I’m allowed to buy a new one. Not unless I sell my other two bikes. I already get away with a lot I best not push it.

@The_Apprentice_Adventurer We don't add the prices up but I would guess around $1500.00 USD Forgot about the Seat Concepts seat so about $1800.00USD . Got the bike new for $9900.00

I think you’ll need to change your channel name to “Just got my papers, Adventurer” soon Lance.

Never man. My channel name says it all, just a bloke trying his best. 😂

Haha I actually couldn’t tell you who it was because he had his helmet on and I hadn’t met everyone yet. I feel like it was of the journalist 🤔

We had done about 15 metres of riding and I wasn’t filming because well the ride just started and then bam right in front of me but the camera was off. So I didn’t catch it all. New tyre and electronics off with a whole heap of throttle to get in front of the car. 💥 bam lol Thanks mate, it’s been very surreal.

Yeah man I have no idea where the price comes from. I’d love to comment on it and give you a real answer but have no idea. It’s up there though.

Yeah I get all that and don’t disagree with you, but on the flip side, if you have cash and enough skill to not drop it then it becomes a dream bike. Two sides of the fence I guess.

Absolutely sick.

We need a cp3 tenere bike

If it ain't broke...
