I still owe you my thoughts on the new Yamaha Tenere 700 (short version: it’s really, really good), but I wanted to share this fantastic video of professional trials rider/hard enduro rider/madman Pol Tarrés showing off on the T7.
Videos like this are a nice reminder that all the bench racing and specification comparisons in the world mean very little compared to a rider’s ability. Obviously, this T7 has had some suspension work done, but it’s still impressive to see Pol dragging hand…
…or climbing rocks.
I’d recommend that you start at 1:20, and the riding ends around 12:45:
