Decided on the Tenere 700

[jpalbee]

Hello from Arizona (actually I am working on ship in the Bering Sea) I have been a long time Super Tenere rider. I have found my self doing mostly off road riding and the T700 is going to be perfect for me. Great information on this site.

Welcome to the forum! Good choice of bike! Cheers,  Steve

Thanks Steve. 

My old Super T has been a great bike, but after all the off-road trips I did this summer, I need a bike more manageable in the rough stuff. I did some Northern parts of the Arizona Back country Discovery Route and I have been spending more time off-road than on, so it is time. I am no spring chicken at almost 60 years old and I have only been doing this ADV riding for about 4 years. All my other years (except when I was a kid and tore around on dirt bikes) of riding were on Harley's where I  putted around like I was already an old man.  Happy Trails, John

Hi CoreCass

I will be ordering the 2021 Matte Black with the Rally seat. I plan on out fitting my T7 with all Touratech goodies like upper and lower crash bars, Evo X panniers , skid plate, ect. With my experience with Yamaha accessories on my Super T, I do not mind paying more for Quality aftermarket  accessories. I know a lot of riders that have been pleased with what they got from Touratech. I do like the look of the panniers for the T7 from Yamaha, so I may save a little money and get those.  Happy Trails, John

I forgot to mention, the Touratech link on my last post is what I have in my Cart to outfit my new T700.  Plus I will be getting a Yoshimura slip on exhaust. I have one on my Super T and really like the sound.  John
