[Moto]2021 YAMAHA TENERE 700

[Ronaldskk.]

First unveiled at EICMA in 2016, Yamaha’s Tenere 700 is another highly-anticipated model that after several years, has finally entered production and is available for purchase at local dealerships. The successor to the mighty XT660Z, the Tenere 700—or “T7”—is powered by a modified version of the Tuning Fork Company’s proven MT-07 DOHC parallel-twin, though it’s been tuned for more low-end grunt in order to better lend itself to off-road applications. On top of its engine architecture, the T7 is also heavily visually inspired by Yamaha’s Dakar Rally racers with the tall windscreen, navigation tower, and extended range fuel cells.
