The NEW Yamaha TÉNÉRÉ 700<br />
The Yamaha Ténéré 700 has quite possibly been one of the<br />
most anticipated adventure bikes on the market since the first<br />
renderings were leaked a few years ago. Here, at the bottom of<br />
the world we were hoping for its arrival a couple of years ago.<br />
But alas, we were also at the bottom of the supply list and then<br />
the pandemic hit and the world got put on pause around about<br />
the same time our shipment was finally about to arrive and it<br />
seemed the odds were stacked against us.<br />
The positive side to this story is that we have the debugged<br />
and completely sorted version, rip roaring ready to explore<br />
beautiful SA. So, when we got wind the other day that the T7<br />
was finally here at Yamaha South Africa’s Gauteng HQ we<br />
very literally dropped everything and raced across town and<br />
muscled our way in to their vault and hi-jacked a quick ride...<br />
