Ténéré 700 is the ideal machine to tackle New Zealand conditions

When you're riding the Ténéré 700, you are riding a legend. It’s built tough. From the new adjustable suspension to the carefully considered riding position and electronic aids you can switch off when required, it’s a motorcycle capable of taking on any terrain you throw at it.

Lighter than the competition and with an engine tuned for torque, this go-everywhere, do-anything motorcycle embodies the very spirit of life on two-wheels and the sense of adventure within us all.

Updated Rally-Inspired Styling

The new 2025 Ténéré 700's styling updates further accentuate its distinctive Dakar Rally racing DNA with an all-new quad-LED headlight, new side covers, tail section, color-matched handguards and a flatter rally-inspired seat.

New, Larger Vertical TFT Display

An all-new, larger 6.3-inch vertical TFT screen offers a rich, full-color display along with two selectable themes providing a wide array of vehicle and smartphone information. A STREET theme offers a traditional analog-style tachometer, while an EXPLORER theme offers a more modern digital style.

New Switchgear & Turn Signal Functions

Yamaha's next-generation switchgear features a new joystick design with button shape and feel extensively refined to provide intuitive operation in a compact, easy-to-use solution. New turn signal functions further enhance the riding experience. A soft click of the indicator switch will flash the turn signals three times, while a full click will flash continuously. Turn signals also self-cancel after 15 seconds and once the bike has travelled for more than 500 feet.

Advanced Smartphone Connectivity

Expanding on the Ténéré 700's smartphone connectivity capability, riders can now access music, make and receive phone calls (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth® headset, not provided), and access a range of additional features through Yamaha's free Y-Connect app. Additionally, riders can also access fullscreen turn-by-turn navigation through Google Maps. Connectivity functions are operated by intuitive new switchgear on the left handlebar and displayed in full color on the new TFT meter.

New Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle

Yamaha's advanced Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) ride-by-wire system provides crisp, seamless throttle response and enables two new selectable throttle maps (SPORT and EXPLORER), so riders can now dial in their preferred power delivery. There is also a new selectable on/off Traction Control System to help maximize grip in low traction conditions.

Revised KYB® Suspension

A revised 43mm KYB® adjustable front fork offers superb front-end feel and shock-absorbing characteristics, and now includes a preload adjuster located at the top of the fork tube. A redesigned linked-type monocross KYB® rear shock provides increased stroke and enhanced load absorption for more on- and off-road confidence.

Redesigned Air Intake

Redesigned air intake with a shorter intake duct supplies improved torque and power delivery power characteristics in the low- to mid-range.

Enhanced Ergonomic Touches

A new clutch cover design offers improved leg room in both sitting and standing positions, new footpegs are now wider and longer for a more sure-footed feel, and a flatter rally-inspired one-piece seat design provides greater comfort while retaining the same overall height.

TOP FEATURES
Advanced Twin-Cylinder Engine

The Ténéré 700 features Yamaha's renowned 689cc liquid-cooled CP2 engine. This compact, torquey powerplant provides the ideal character for adventure riding with tractable and controllable power on road or off.

Adventure-Focused Ergonomics

For added confidence on both dirt and asphalt, the 2025 Ténéré 700 features a narrow body with updated side covers, slim fuel tank, and new rally-inspired flat seat enabling the rider to grip the tank whether sitting or standing. The fairing and new color-matched handguards work with tapered handlebars and tall windscreen to ensure comfort on the longest rides.

Lightweight Double Cradle Frame Design

A lightweight, high-strength tubular steel frame provides a tuned rigidity balance for nimble, responsive handling with the strength and durability needed to tackle the harshest terrain with confidence. 

Not Afraid To Get Dirty

Highly adjustable, long-travel suspension is mated to dirt-ready spoked wheels mounting 21-inch front and 18-inch rear tires, ensuring that Ténéré 700 doesn't shy away from serious off-road. The triple-disc brakes also feature wave-style rotors along with three-mode selectable ABS which gives the rider the ability to select full ABS, switch ABS off to the rear wheel only, or switch ABS off to both front and rear wheels when desired for specific off-road riding conditions.

Refinement Meets Durability

Every aspect of the Ténéré 700 is built to combine Yamaha's legendary reliability with impressive performance, from the full LED lighting, to the strong and narrow steel frame, to the smooth, ultra-reliable CP2 engine, the T7 is ready to take you far off the beaten path with supreme confidence.
