faffi Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Apparently, still a prototype, but edging closer towards production https://www.motorradonline.de/motorraeder/yamaha-tenere-700-world-raid-prototyp.835542.html MOTORRAD put the T7 on the scale and found it was 185 kg with a couple of litres of fuel in the tank, so approximately 190 kg wet. The production version is expected to be quite a bit heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Really hoping this thing would/will come in under 400 lbs. wet, significantly under that number would be ideal. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
