Wish I was healthy enough to handle the weight. As an old 76 DT400 mono shock owner I have always had a soft spot for Yamaha. O to be young again.

I sunk $2500 into my 2024 Tenere suspension and now it's perfect, but the fact that the 25' comes with stiffer springs is so great.

6'4" 220 lbs. owner of the 24 model so the larger bike fits nicely. In AZ. there are  many places where the pavement ends and the dirt begins so it has been nice to ride the T7. It handles well in any situation.My changes have been adding side rails for saddlebags and a rear plate for a rear bag. More durable LED turn signals. Manually adjustable "cruise control"   A gel seat and padded under shorts for the long rides. I'm at 8,700 miles and loving the CP2. Thank you Yamaha! Faith, Hope and Love. God is good!

Thank you for sharing this information,
I am amazed at the scenery in where you ride and live. In Italia it is pretty difficult to find off road areas that are accessible according local laws… I own an Extreme T7 2024 and I’d love to upgrade but maybe not yet!

Man, they look and sound so good!!

Your 2 bad points for the new T7 are actually easily fixed. Woolich flash and turn fuel cut off and smooth out the throttle map will fix the throttle. And you can buy different abs rings that correct the speedo.

Perfect. I built up a 2020 pre-order waited a year for it to arrive in 8/2020, started the long build from then. Very happy with it, still modifying stuff. Investigate an already built used model for the win! RideADV, Motorcycle adventure dirt bike tv, Nerb and Ridingwithtom have been favorites in the past.  From U.S.A.

Thank You Very Much For Sharing 👍

Will be having a test ride day on one of these (not a 2025 model) but still excited to have a crack on it compared to the ole DRZ400E 😁

To fix that throttle problem they could have power setting options like the MT07.

Been looking to buy a t7 for a couple years now, not brand new but. never owned an adv bike before.. But I do like the colour screen. Might have to wait for some 25’s to come up 2nd hand with some fruit on it now. Still will consider a 19-24 though.

Hell yeah! Might have to get one when I get my full bike licence

I have the same problems with the speedometer and jerky throttle.

I have a 2022 T7 my complaint with mine was the kickstand sensor, I bottomed out on a small whoop, the sensor broke 18 km in the bush, so I would put the bike in gear with the kickstand up. It thought the kickstand was down and would shut off.  Luckily, I was able to bypass the sensor by cutting the wire that led to it splice it and was back riding in about 10 minutes.  Other than that,i absolutely love the bike.
