The rumors were true, and the Yamaha Ténéré 700 family just got a little bigger, with the tuning brand adding its third variant of the popular ADV bike to its lineup.
As such, the 2022 Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid is an up-spec long-distance adventure machine with only one caveat – it is only coming to Europe.
Last year, we were teased with the Yamaha T7 concept, a bike we expected to become a 700cc Yamaha Ténéré adventure machine. A year has passed now, and finally we can see the new Yamaha Ténéré 700 at this year’s EICMA show…or so we thought.
Based on the parallel-twin engine found in the Yamaha FZ-07, the Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid promises to bring a potent middleweight adventure bike to Yamaha’s dual-sport lineup. But instead, it is yet another prototype teaser from Yamaha.
We are Jack’s utter disappointment.
