Ever since making its debut in the global market, the Yamaha Ténéré 700 has captured the hearts of adventure and enduro aficionados all over the world. It’s touted as one of the ultimate best middleweight adventure bikes, with a focus on off-road capability. Perhaps the best thing about the bike is the fact that it uses such a compliant engine in the form of the 689cc crossplane parallel-twin that we first saw in the MT-07 as early as 2014.
Adding to the list of things that make the Ténéré 700 awesome is the fact that Yamaha has kept it rather simple in the electronics front, with switchable ABS serving as the bike’s sole rider aid. As such, it’s no surprise that the T7 has riders from all skill levels gravitating towards it, and it’s no surprise, as well, that a vast aftermarket surrounding this peach of an ADV bike has spread like wildfire. Nearly all aftermarket manufacturers worth their salt have a range of upgrades and accessories designed specifically for the Ténéré 700.
