Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid (2022 onwards)
The Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid is an off-road oriented edition of the older Yamaha Tenere 700, which has been one of the best-selling adventure motorcycles of recent years. It comes with the same 689cc parallel twin engine you can find in other Yamaha bikes, such as the MT-07. It features the classic rally bike design with a tall windscreen and protective engine guard.
Compared to the standard Tenere 700, the World Raid edition comes with a better suspension and higher tank capacity. Thanks to its 23-litre twin tank, you will be able to ride up to 300 miles on this motorcycle. The newly designed TFT dash offers three different visual themes and it’s very easy to use.
