T7 with MOTOZ RALLZ

When will one be parked inside your ice palace?

 

[MVI]

2023. Depends when @KICKNBACK moves on to something else...

Its on the top of my list. Once my DR finally dies, this will be my next adventure bike.

How does the T7 compare to the Triumph Tigers?

 

[Simmons1]

I am quite found of mine as well.

I'm thinking one of these needs to be in my garage soon!

On the list at the biggest dealer in the area. Said November if I’m lucky for a’22

I called on one a few months ago. Online it said call for availability. The dealer said he took money on four bikes. Now he just has to find four bikes.

Pretty much. But I’m (gulp) 20 on the list.

Deposite was only $200 though and refundable if I find one somewhere else first

when (if) my DR650 dies I will be picking up a T7. I was on the list for one last year with a Sept '21 delivery estimate but backed out because I found a DR650 for $1500... just know I am looking on in envy every day

IMO, it's smarter to get by with your bargain than be sucked into a bad deal on a new T7. One nice thing about your $1500 bike is that it really can't depreciate as long as you keep it in good shape, and right now it'd probably sell fast.

I wonder if the T7's success and the uptick in DS sales has pushed the other Japanese manufacturers to rethink their Bold New Color upgrade plans. I know they're all looking at EVs, but it'll be a shame if they try to make it all the way to the big EV changeover on 20-30 year old ICE designs.

yeah it was definitely the "smarter" move, and I love the DR, but I've also ridden MT07's and know what "could have been" with that engine in a dual sport frame. haha

That new Stark fork is cool.

I was lucky with my T7. Sold my HD in 2017. February of '21 I swung by a dealer to look around, they had a T7 on the showroom floor. It went home with me that day. Didn't know at the time how popular they were.

Day I rode it home

to now

I hit a dear a month after I got it. Fucked up all of the front plastics, forks have a nice gouge in them but it held up. Went with a high fender kit and oem fork guards after that.

I hate being the first one that has to stop for gas when riding with my buddies that have big tanks.

Fixed that today. It had roughly 3/4 of a gallon when I filled it.

Look at that sweet fender.
