>Yeah, by T7 I mean the tenere 700. I think its one of the best bikes around,
It is, it sells itself, I see them all the time in europe I see one in my garage every day, they're perfect for our poorly maintained curved mountain roads. Not too small where you're reving the shit out of it on the motorway, not too big so you can use the whole engine just getting around, big front wheel to go over ruts in the road and the suspension travel to have it not kick your spine.
>but the yamaha troons are fixated on selling R7 and R9s.
They axed the R6 and R1, they have to make up the money those bikes brought in somehow, it's just business.
>I'd like something a bit lighter weight. I think 450cc ADVs are going to be like the modern day super cub.
I don't think so, they weigh as much as traditional middleweight at about 200kg fully fueled, but with half the horsepower so they can squeeze into that A2 market. The supercub was light, cheap and simple, current day A2 adventure bikes are really pushing the definition of cheap and that was that was their bike selling point.
