The Yamaha Ténéré 700 is proving to be one of the most adaptable, readily configurable adventure bikes available in a number of ways. In fact, I'm not sure it's still appropriate to refer to it as an adventure bike. Riders like Pol Tarres have taken the oversized ADV trials riding and motocross racing. The T7 is really just a big dirt bike cosplaying as an ADV.
The fact that Yamaha kept the electronics relatively basic, with switchable ABS acting as the bike's only rider aid, adds to the list of factors that make the Ténéré 700 amazing. As a result, it's not surprising that riders of all skill levels choose the T7, and it's also not surprising that a sizable aftermarket for this peach of an ADV bike has sprung off like wildfire. Almost all reputable aftermarket companies have a selection of upgrades and add-ons made especially for the Ténéré 700.
