Re: This teaser shows the full view of the Yamaha TÉNÉRÉ 700 WORLD RAID

A couple of interesting points to note:

Lots of accessories shown that are likely not standard on the bike: hard cases, full knobby tires, skid plate. Those will be options (bags, plate) or something you have to install yourself (tires).

We at least get a decent shot of the cockpit, and I can see some notable differences between the 700 and its 1200 big brother. The 700 looks like it'll get two power sockets, and it has different switch gear (at least compared to my US 1200; European models may be different). It's a little hard to see, but it looks like the 700 will have regular round front discs instead of the "petal" type the 1200 has. There doesn't seem to be an electronic suspension connection, though that's a factory option for the big bike too so maybe they just didn't use that model of the 700. The gauge display looks like it's a non-TFT unit also, similar to the current 1200 which just uses a monochrome LCD unit. I see also that the tank top panel is carbon-fiber or a reasonable facsimile, presumably with the actual fuel cell hidden underneath, whereas the 1200 has a painted tank.


And not that it matters much, but the whole "uncrating" sequence at the beginning is staged crap, since bikes aren't shipped new in fully assembled form including accessories. At the very least, the front wheel is off, and there's a stand of some kind that the frame rests on to hold the bike in place during transport. Also, the rider already has a Super Tenere 1200 (seen briefly in the background at the beginning).
