Yamaha Ténéré 700 darling. Since the first time I saw FortNine review of T7, I wanted one. This was the bike in my mind when I bought the GS for my son, the bike that I hope will achieve my goals. The Trans Am above is a vague wish, something that might one day consider. T7, I will own. Or, at least, test drive.
This, however, probably won’t be one. It’s located in California, a state famous for being without me, and going back would be either an amazingly long road trip or a huge hassle. Plus, I’ve never really been a fan of the tall front fender styling.
Man, it’s going to be an interesting trip back. Lalita, if you’re editing this, can I pay Ténéré and gas to get it back from California? I will refund Jalopnik with anything my BMW sells. Editor’s Note: Steven, I originally wanted to say “yes” to get rid of you, because we both knew when you wrote that note that you wouldn’t get a yes answer. Also, we’re more likely to refund someone like me for my $500 project bike than for something over $11k! However, thank you, and the rest of our team, for collectively asking for more than $40,000 in vehicle purchases to cover today’s expenses.
