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!
Conclusion - buy or not?
Sun. Just take a look at the basics. KTM-typical just as well processed as KTM-typical with 12,399 Euro rather not quite so cheap, comes here with the Adventure 790 a bike, which seems to belong to a new subgroup of adventures. These, namely, who have obtained their racer DNA, but do not want to stand out negatively in terms of comfort or transport capacity with the wife of the buyer /purchases*rin (where does this "*" belong again?).The Ducati Hyperstrada or the Yamaha 900 Tracer GT compete for the same audience. If you like this, with the Adventure you get a bike for exactly these moments in life, where you might need a mummy, but you prefer not to drink to do another round. Thumbs up, then.
We thank M.A.S. in Wilster for renting the test bike.
