I'll fetch my coat.....
Crikey-220kgs so even more underpowered than the standard bike,which the article mentions……
I thought it was just a straight link pipe. Twin tanks still shouldn't be a problem. Many a happy KTM 950/990 Adventure owners.
I'm interested in this model.
The 220kg is fully fueled compared to 204kg for the T7. And the weight is carried lower down.
.....or about as much as a dry 1200GSA hexhead.
The twin tanks are linked. No problem filling up.
Look at what Pavey jnr has done to the project T7 to make it a better bike and then compare it to what you get with a T7 World Raid.the
This or a Desert X, both of which are ballpark for weight. One more complex and powerful than the other. The underdog being cheaper, designed a bit better and probably a sweet spot for the market of a mini adventure bike for everything.
Looks great, just a little bit inconvenient having to lock the cap to get key out to open other side whilst holding the fuel pump nozzle. The T7 is a great bike and arguably the T7WR is what the T7 should have been originally, but its about £800 too expensive for what you get. Yamaha have gone to great lengths to justify its price to journalists at the launch, which would suggest they know it is too expensive in a very competitive ADV market. I think they’re using the T7 & T7WR as a bit of a cash cow when you look at how many they’ve sold and the price of their other CP2 engined models. The ducati is a good price for what you get standard, but gets very expensive when you add options.
You have to fund the MotoGP development and off road racing teams somehow.
Tubes as standard modelSat on one today in P & H in Crawley.
Was surprised just how nice it felt.
BUT around £12k is a tad salty I think.
Out of interest , is it tubeless or tubed ? Doesn’t seem to say anywhere
