🏍️ 2020 Yamaha Tenere 700 – Ready to Roam, Tall and Handsome 🏍️
Looking for a ride that eats fire roads for breakfast and still cleans up nice for a stop in the city? Meet my 2020 Yamaha Tenere 700 – a tall drink of premium adventure water, made to handle twisties, trails, and coffee shop photo ops with equal enthusiasm.
🔧 The Bike:
689cc CP2 parallel twin – torquey, smooth, and totally bulletproof
Adventure-ready with long-travel suspension and a lightweight chassis
Seat height: 34.4 inches – tall enough to see trouble coming, or at least spot deer before they spot you
Manual transmission, no weird modes or menus – just good ol’ throttle and grit
Spoked wheels, dual-sport tires, and no complaints when it gets muddy
Soft Luggage rack can be added for additional fee (Mosko Rackless 80L) – bring your backpack, tent, or just impress pedestrians with your preparedness
Currently at 15k miles, and counting
12V adapter, heated grips, ABS
It’s not just a bike. It’s a two-wheeled enabler of all your escape fantasies.
🗺️ Where to Ride - destinations within 200 miles of Fairfax, VA:
🌆 Urban Adventurer:
Washington, DC Monuments by Moonlight – A surreal glide past glowing marble icons. Bonus: The Tenere turns heads parked near the Lincoln Memorial like it just saved democracy.
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor – Artsy, gritty, full of flavor (and crab cakes). Cruise through cobblestone streets, then eat like a pirate.
🌲 Country Cruiser:
Skyline Drive (Shenandoah National Park) – Sweeping curves, mountain vistas, black bears (hopefully at a distance). Perfect Tenere terrain.
George Washington National Forest – Fire roads galore and hidden gems. This is what the Tenere was born for. Just you, the trees, and occasional Sasquatch.
Berkeley Springs, WV – A quirky spa town with twisty backroads, great pie, and an actual mineral spring. You’ll feel fancier than your muddy boots suggest.
Reserve now and see why riders say, “I was only going out for a quick spin and somehow ended up in West Virginia.” The Tenere does that to people.
The bike was perfect. The only thing better was Sobek, the host. He was communicative and proactive, flexible with logistics, and gave an amazing tour . . . Read More
