San Luis Obispo T7

[SLOrider]

Here is my quick journey to the T7.

Honda Monkey SOLD
Suzuki TU250 SOLD
Yamaha R3 SOLD
Honda CRF250L Rally SOLD
XR400R KEPT
XR200R KEPT
Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 SOLD
Yamaha XSR900 SOLD

I put my name in for a T7 when they were announced and have been waiting this whole time. I tested a lot of different bike over the years and none felt like the “right” bike. Two weeks ago I got told a 2023 model was coming and I drove down the coast to pick it up.

2023 Yamaha Tenere 700

The plan for the build is to start as my basic commuter and then develop into a light off-road setup.

All nice, but a XR400R is legendary!

I may be biased, I have one too, as do a few of my buddies.

Low dollar fun that will be around forever...

I still have both XRs and plan on keeping them.
