Design

From the very first glance the Tenere 700 tells you that it is not made for fun. Its tall and commanding stance, sharp body lines, and functional design tell you clearly that this bike is not one to shy away from tough terrain. It does not have flashy elements that are just for show, every design element has a purpose. It is not going to show you, it is going to take you – far, and on the most difficult terrains. It looks like a tough army officer going on a safari – simple, strong, and ready for action.

Engine

The heart of the Tenere 700 is its 689cc parallel-twin engine. Listen, this engine is nothing new. It is the same proven CP2 engine that is used in the Yamaha MT-07. And this is its biggest strength because this engine has been tested in the real world. It gives you 72.4 HP power and 68 Nm torque. The numbers might not seem very impressive by today’s standards but remember, adventure touring is not just a game of numbers.

Performance

When you ride it on the highway or any open road, you realise why its engine is so famous. Power comes from your right wrist. Overtaking or high-speed cruising is not at all difficult. But where this bike really shines is off-road. Its light weight (its kerb weight is around 205 kg) and balanced chassis give you confidence. You can cross even the heaviest rocks or the best of mines with ease. It doesn’t let you feel that you have to handle a 200+ kg bike. It rides with you.

Comfort and Handling

Comfort is the most important thing for long journeys. The seat of the Tenere 700 is comfortable but a little hard. But the riding position is amazing. The handlebar is wide and at a good height, the footpegs are a little low, which gives you complete control even in a standing position. The suspension is long-travel which easily absorbs even the worst conditions of Indian roads. You will feel fresh even after riding for 200-300 km.

Features

You will have to compromise a little here. Yamaha hasn’t stuffed any unnecessary technology in this bike. No fancy electronics, no multiple riding modes. You get basic switchable ABS. This bike tells you, “I am here, I have riding capabilities, now see how much guts you have.” You get a basic LCD instrument cluster that gives all the important information. It has a minimalist design which goes perfectly with its tough personality.
