YAMAHA EUROPE DROPS TWO NEW T7S
Yamaha ’ s Tenere has been the darling of the mid-capacity adventure bike market ever since its 2019 launch , and now Yamaha Europe looks to be expanding the platform with two new variants announced overnight . There is a catch , however , as the Tenere 700 Extreme and Explore Editions are both currently noted as only being available in France , Italy and Germany . We ’ ve seen this same game played by Yamaha before with the brilliant blue Rally Edition also being a European-only affair .
So what are we missing out on ? Both bikes take the base Tenere 700 and build upon it for two very different purposes . The Extreme Edition goes full send with a high-mount front fender , large titanium pegs , Yamaha ’ s taller rally seat and the more sophisticated suspension from the Tenere 700 World Raid ( due here in Q4 , 2023 ). The Explore Edition focuses on touring ability with a taller windscreen , lower seat height and revised suspension settings plus the addition of rear racks for panniers . But wait , that ’ s not all ! The Explore Edition also gets a quickshifter ,
