Adventure motorcycling non profit, Backcountry Discovery Routes (BDR) is bringing back its annual Motorcycle Sweepstakes Fundraiser. This is a unique opportunity to take home one of the most sought-after and scarcely available adventure bikes on the market today.

This 2021 Yamaha Tenere 700 features a full Touratech Suspension upgrade, Special BDR Edition graphics, an Akrapovic Slip-On Exhaust from Revzilla, Garmin Zumo XT with locking mount, Scotts steering stabilizer with TripleClamp Moto mount kit, LED lights by Cyclops, and much more.
