All who have ridden the twin cylinder, flat plane crank, CP2 engined bike, understand why it’s taken the Adventure bike market by storm Worldwide. Whether it’s on the road or in the dirt, the Tenere 700 motorcycle has won a host of friends, including RideADV head honcho Greg ‘TB’ Yager and the entire Yamaha RideADV team.

The Tenere 700 Rally is now an Annual event and will move location and maybe even State each year. The 2023 700 Rally will be a GPS navigation style event. What’s that mean? It means, no corner-man, no waiting on corners, just follow the route at your own pace! You will need a GPS device that can have a GPX file loaded on it. You just need a GPS that will accept a GPX file of up to 10,0000 way points. We load tracks only for these events. RideADV purchase, use and recommend Garmin GPS products.
All 5 days will have Lead riders going out before the group and will be swept by the experienced RideADV team members, whom are first aid qualified and mechanically trained, with the support vehicles close by.
