New Colors and Pricing for 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700
The popular T7 returns with a price bump and three new color schemes.
Since its introduction in 2019 the Tenere 700 has found a sweet spot in the fast-growing adventure segment, becoming one of the most sought-after Adventure bikes to be released in a while. With its smooth yet powerful 689cc parallel-twin engine, compact rally-bred chassis and agile handling, the Tenere 700 has proven to be one of the most versatile motorcycles in the class. And with Yamaha’s recent unveiling of a new ‘Raid’ prototype, it appears we may see another evolution of the popular machine in the near future.
While no mechanical changes have been announced for 2022, Yamaha has introduced two new colors for the standard Tenere 700 model. The ‘Team Yamaha Blue’ colorway is inspired by the factory’s race bikes, and features blue body panels and blue wheel rims. In turn, the ‘Raven’ version offers a more understated look, and features an all-black body with black wheel rims.
Rally Edition (Europe Only)
The Rally Edition will return to Europe for 2022 with a new Heritage color featuring white bodywork and Yamaha’s famous red speed block graphics, as well as a red/black seat and gold colored rims.
