Conclusion - what sticks

We underestimated the T7 World Raid before the test. At least we didn't expect how mature the machine is. Seat height, sheer size and the higher weight make the World Raid a different machine than the "little sister" T7. It is made for the gaaaaanz long journey over hill and dale and drives extremely confidently. It is not suitable for smaller people, but this is already evident in the seat test. The good sales figures of the two previous T7 models should improve the World Raid again - it is actually not a cheap wash, but quasi new motorcycle.
 
The test bike was kindly provided by the Yamaha Center Hamburg / Tecius & Reimers. There, the World Raid stands as a demonstrator and looks forward to test drives. Just call and ask for Joachim. Have fun!
