In looking for answers for @TheoremX brake line/ CEL question,  I came across this website.   It's the most inaccurate article I've seen to date regarding the T700.  I counted 5 errors in the first 2 paragraphs and the list continues.  "Air cooled, adjustable seat & no electronic systems" are just a few of the errors.  Farther down the article this statement "The Tenere’s base engine is a 149cc four-stroke air-cooling single-cylinder. And it comes with overhead camshafts and electronic throttle. You can upgrade it to a 497cc V-twin petrol engine with semi-automatic transmission." 

 

To me this article was compiled by someone with just enough knowledge to post a bunch of incorrect stats and click on ads to enhance their revenue stream for their advertisers with zero concern about accuracy of the subject matter.

I guess it's no different than click bait on YouTube, but for the uninformed,  it paints a very different picture than reality. Cracks me up what people will put out as " facts" when I guess the point is, if you read it on the internet,  it ain't necessarily true!

This might even be made up by some kind of artificial not-so-intelligence.

That was my thought as well, but a Chloe Thompson did put her name on it so it probably was reviewed at least once?

Hopefully! But if so, I have some small doubts about her qualifications for reviewing technical articles 😁
