Yamaha Ténéré 700

Light, slim and built for adventure — Yamaha's most-loved middleweight ADV.

Yamaha Ténéré 700

The Yamaha Ténéré 700 (T7) is the adventure bike most South Island riders ask for by name. Built around a 689 cc CP2 parallel-twin with strong, usable torque and a slim, low-weight chassis, the T7 is a confident all-rounder on both sealed and gravel roads. It's the bike that turns any forgotten back road into the highlight of the trip.

The Yamaha Ténéré 700, also known as the T7, is a capable mid-size adventure bike built for riders who want to explore New Zealand with confidence. It is lighter and simpler than many large adventure bikes, while still offering the comfort, power and stability needed for multi-day touring.

With its upright riding position, strong 689cc engine and adventure-focused setup, the Ténéré 700 is well suited to South Island roads, mountain passes, coastal highways and approved gravel routes. Pick up your T7 from Epic Ride NZ in Christchurch, close to Christchurch Airport, and ride straight toward Arthur’s Pass, the West Coast, Lake Tekapo, Queenstown, Milford Sound or beyond.

Our Yamaha Ténéré 700 rental bikes are set up for touring, with luggage options available depending on the individual bike. Some bikes come with soft panniers and a top bag, while others may be fitted with hard panniers. Please confirm the luggage setup when booking so we can match the bike to your trip and packing style.

Pick up from our Christchurch base — five minutes from the airport — and head straight for Arthur's Pass, the West Coast or the Mackenzie Basin.
