At a glance
The current Yamaha Ténéré 700, updated in 2025 and unchanged for 2026, reached a top speed of 183.6 km/h and covered 0-100 km/h in 4.64 seconds at inSella’s test center. Real-world fuel consumption ranges from around 35 km/l on rural roads to 24.8 km/l at a steady 120 km/h, and drops to 11.3 km/l when pushed to the limit. Yamaha claims 73.4 hp, 68 Nm, 208 kg fully fueled and fuel consumption of 4.3 liters per 100 km.
Watch out for figures circulating online: many articles, including the one shared by inSella today, still give figures for the previous version (196.5 kg, €10,499). Here you can compare the two generations, find out the real-world range from the 16-liter tank, and see what happens when you fit panniers and a top case.
- Top speed: 183.6 km/h measured on the 2025 model; between 181.9 and 187.4 on earlier versions.
- Claimed fuel consumption: 4.3 l/100 km (23.3 km/l), theoretical range around 372 km.
- Prudent range: 280-300 km between fill-ups on mixed routes.
- 2026 prices: €10,999 Standard, €12,199 Rally, €13,199 World Raid, excluding dealer fees.
How fast is the Ténéré 700? 183.6 km/h and 0-100 in 4.6 seconds
These are the latest instrumented test results available in Italy for the 2025 Ténéré 700, the version still on sale in 2026. They were recorded by inSella’s test center and published on August 6, 2025.
| Test | Measured figure | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Dyno power | 66.19 hp at 9,100 rpm | Measured in Sport mode, in fifth gear. This is power at the wheel |
| Dyno torque | 6.35 kgm (62.3 Nm) at 6,700 rpm | In Sport mode, in sixth gear |
| Top speed | 183.6 km/h | Actual figure, not the speedometer reading |
| 0-100 km/h | 4,64 s | Excellent for a bike with a 21" front wheel |
| 0-400 m | 13,00 s | Standing-start acceleration |
| 0-1.000 m | 25,28 s | Shows how fast it accelerates above 100 km/h |
| Measured weight | 198 kg | Yamaha claims 208 kg fully fueled: see the box below |
Why the dyno shows fewer horsepower than Yamaha claims
Yamaha claims 73.4 hp, but the dyno reads 66. That’s not a fault: the manufacturer measures power at the crankshaft, while a rolling-road dyno measures it at the wheel, after losses through the gearbox, chain and tire. A difference of around 10% is normal for a chain-driven bike. The shape of the curve matters more: according to the test, the twin picks up cleanly from just 2,500 rpm and pulls strongly between 3,000 and 7,000.
Yamaha’s figures list 73.4 hp and 4.3 liters per 100 km: here’s the spec sheet
The engine is the 689 cm³ CP2 parallel twin, also used in the MT-07 family, with YCC-T electronic throttle from 2025 onward. The three versions in the lineup share the same engine and claimed performance; suspension, weight, and tank capacity differ.
| Claimed figure | Ténéré 700 | Ténéré 700 Rally | World Raid 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power | 73.4 hp (54 kW) at 9,000 rpm | 73.4 hp | 73.4 hp |
| Torque | 68 Nm at 6,500 rpm | 68 Nm | 68 Nm |
| Weight with a full tank | 208 kg | 210 kg | 220 kg |
| Tank | 16 liters | 16 liters | 23 liters (dual) |
| Seat height | 875 mm (Low 860) | 910 mm | 890 mm |
| Front/rear travel | 210 / 200 mm | 230 / 220 mm | 230 / 220 mm |
| Cruise control | No | No | Yes, with limiter |
| Price, excluding on-road costs | 10.999 € | 12.199 € | 13.199 € |
Electronics affecting performance
- Two engine maps: Sport, for a more direct response, and Explorer, for a gentler response on technical dirt roads and under full load.
- Switchable traction control: introduced with the 2025 ride-by-wire system.
- Three-mode ABS: on both wheels, front wheel only, or disabled for off-road riding.
The map matters for the speed and fuel consumption figures on this page: inSella’s test states that power and torque were measured in Sport mode.
It performs about the same as the pre-2025 Ténéré, weighs 3 kg more, and uses almost the same amount of fuel
The most useful comparison if you have a first-generation Ténéré in your garage or are considering a used one. We’ve lined up instrumented tests by the same publication, so the measurement method is consistent.
| Measurement | 2022 test | 2023 test | 2025 test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top speed | 187.4 km/h | 181.9 km/h | 183.6 km/h |
| 0-100 km/h | 4,1 s | 4,03 s | 4,64 s |
| 0-400 m | n/a | 12,62 s | 13,00 s |
| Fuel consumption at 90 km/h | 29.8 km/l | 30.17 km/l | 34.47 km/l |
| Fuel consumption at 120 km/h | 23.0 km/l | 21.90 km/l | 24.77 km/l |
| Highway fuel consumption | n/a | 18.40 km/l | 18.26 km/l |
| Yamaha claimed fuel consumption | 4.3 l/100 km | 4.16 l/100 km | 4.3 l/100 km |
| Claimed weight | 205 kg with a full tank (last model before 2025) | 208 kg with a full tank | |
How to read the comparison
Top speeds fall within a 5.5 km/h range, which at these speeds depends more on wind, temperature, and road surface than on the bike. The 2025 model’s 0-100 time is about six tenths slower: the tests don’t explain why, and we won’t make anything up. One reasonable hypothesis, which remains a hypothesis, is that the electronic launch management differs due to the ride-by-wire throttle and traction control. At a steady pace, the new model uses less fuel: at 90 and 120 km/h, it goes farther on a liter than the 2023 model did in the test.
With 16 liters, range runs from 170 to over 500 km: it’s all down to your right wrist.
The standard Ténéré and Rally have a 16-liter tank. The ranges published by the test center are based on 15 usable liters, leaving a one-liter reserve: we use the same criteria for every measured scenario.
| Scenario | Consumption | Range on 15 liters | When you get the chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy extra-urban riding | 35.08 km/l | about 526 km | Secondary roads and country roads at an easy pace |
| 90 km/h constant speed | 34.47 km/l | about 517 km | Relaxed touring, expressways |
| 120 km/h constant speed | 24.77 km/l | about 372 km | Highway at the speed limit with cruise control |
| Yamaha’s claimed figure | 23.3 km/l | about 349 km (372 on 16 liters) | Type-approval cycle |
| Highway at unrestricted speeds | 18.26 km/l | about 274 km | Real-world ring-road and highway riding |
| Full throttle | 11.25 km/l | about 169 km | Track, constant acceleration |
Owner-reported figure
Spritmonitor collects fuel-ups logged by users. Four public logs for 2020-2022 Ténéré 700s show averages of between 3.77 and 4.71 liters per 100 km: the longest covers almost 23,000 km at 3.77 l/100 km, or 26.5 km/l. These are previous-generation bikes and small samples, useful for getting a sense of the range, not for ranking.
The Ténéré reaches 183 km/h, but its natural cruising speed is 120-130
Top speed helps you understand how much power the engine has in reserve, not how you ride. With 73 hp and an enduro-style front end, above 140 km/h the Ténéré struggles more to push through the air than to keep the engine turning.
- Mountain roads and highways: strong torque from 3,000 to 7,000 rpm, with few gear changes
- Overtaking from 80 to 120 km/h, where acceleration really matters
- Fast gravel roads: the long-travel suspension keeps up
- Highway speeds above 130: consumption close to 18 km/l and more wind on your helmet
- Long trips with a passenger and full luggage at sustained speeds
- Long straight stretches without cruise control on the standard and Rally models
The speedometer reads higher than the actual speed
In Moto.it’s first test in 2019, at a real 186 km/h, the instruments showed 202 km/h: almost 9% too high. Almost all motorcycles overread by design. In other words, when the display shows 130, the GPS will show a lower speed. Check it with your navigation system on a flat stretch before calculating fuel consumption and journey times.
Wind protection and hand protection
Aerodynamic protection is the limitation cited by almost every test, both for the old and new models. Hand guards reduce wind pressure on your hands and protect them from branches and stationary tip-overs; on long rides, a mechanical cruise control takes the strain off your right hand. You'll find them in the product details at the bottom, with exact compatibility information.
Panniers and a passenger increase fuel consumption: what you can really expect
No published test has measured the Ténéré 700 with and without luggage, so you won't find made-up percentages here. You'll find the physics behind the difference and what you can do to limit its effect.
- Air resistance increases with the square of your speed. Two side panniers and a top case increase the frontal area: you barely notice it at 90 km/h, but much more at 130. It's the same reason why the "highway" fuel consumption in test reports is so different from consumption at 90 km/h.
- Weight matters most when accelerating from a stop. A passenger and luggage can add more than 100 kg: uphill and when exiting hairpins, the engine has to work harder; on level ground at a steady speed, the effect is smaller.
- Tires and tire pressures play a part. Knobby tires and off-road pressures increase rolling resistance. Restore road pressures when you get back on asphalt.
- Remove what you don't need. Quick-release panniers can be removed in a minute: it's the easiest way to get back to stock fuel consumption for everyday riding.
Narrow panniers, lower fuel consumption
With the same capacity, what matters is how far they stick out. On the Ténéré, PIKE TRACKER aluminum panniers mounted on LOBOO JP871B frames use a 30-liter right pannier with a cutout that clears the exhaust, keeping the overall width on the exhaust side more contained. This is an advantage in tight passages and on rough trails.
Standard, Rally, or World Raid: same performance, different range
On paper, the three versions are more alike than their prices suggest. The choice comes down to seat height, suspension, and above all, fuel capacity.
| Version | Key strength | Compromise | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ténéré 700 | Lighter and more affordable, 875 mm seat (860 on the Low) | 16 liters, no cruise control | Mixed use, first steps off-road |
| Ténéré 700 Rally | 230/220 mm suspension travel, 255 mm ground clearance, Raid theme on the TFT | 910 mm seat height, same range as the standard | For riders tackling lots of challenging off-road terrain |
| World Raid 2026 | 23 liters, around 500 km claimed range, cruise control and speed limiter | 220 kg fully fueled, higher price | Long-distance trips, areas with few fuel stations |
The Ténéré 700 for A2 license holders
The Ténéré is also available in a 35 kW version, which can be ridden with an A2 license. The only published instrumented test of a restricted Ténéré is inSella's test of the first-generation 2019 model: 162.9 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, and an average of about 25 km/L. We couldn't find any published measurements for the 2025-2026 35 kW version.
Its commercial success explains why so many people are looking for these figures: according to laRegione, which covered the European unveiling of the 2026 World Raid, the Ténéré has sold around 86,000 units in Europe and holds a 24% share of the middleweight adventure segment.

Frequently asked questions about the Ténéré 700's speed, fuel consumption, and range
What is the Yamaha Ténéré 700's top speed?
The current Ténéré 700 (from 2025 onward) reached a real 183.6 km/h at inSella’s test center. Tests of previous series measured between 181.9 and 187.4 km/h. Yamaha doesn’t state an official top speed. The speedometer tends to read higher than the actual speed: in Moto.it’s first test in 2019, at a true 186 km/h, the instrument showed 202.
How much fuel does the Ténéré 700 really use?
Yamaha states 4.3 liters per 100 km, or about 23.3 km/l. inSella’s instrumented tests on the 2025 version recorded between 35 km/l on relaxed country roads and 24.8 km/l at a steady 120 km/h, 18.3 km/l at highway speeds, and 11.3 km/l at full throttle. Public logs from four Spritmonitor owners with 2020-2022 bikes range from 21 to 26.5 km/l.
How many kilometers can you ride on a full tank on a Ténéré 700?
The tank holds 16 liters. Based on the claimed fuel consumption, the theoretical range is around 372 km. inSella’s test center calculates 372 km at a steady 120 km/h and 169 km when riding at full throttle. In practice, for a mixed touring pace, it’s best to plan refueling every 280-300 km and keep the rest as a reserve.
How long does the Ténéré 700 take to go from 0 to 100 km/h?
inSella measured 4.64 seconds for the 2025 version. Tests by the same publication recorded 4.03 and 4.1 seconds for the previous series. The difference also depends on test conditions and mapping; it doesn’t prove the new model is slower: top speed and fuel consumption remain comparable.
How much horsepower does the 2025-2026 Ténéré 700 have?
Yamaha states 73.4 hp (54 kW) at 9,000 rpm and 68 Nm at 6,500 rpm for the 689 cc CP2 twin. On inSella’s dynamometer, the 2025 version produced 66.19 hp at 9,100 rpm: the difference is normal because the dynamometer measures power at the wheel, after drivetrain losses.
How much does the Ténéré 700 weigh?
208 kg fully fueled and ready to ride, according to Yamaha, for the Standard from 2025 onward (previously 205). The Rally weighs 210 kg, and the 2026 World Raid weighs 220 kg with 23 liters of fuel. inSella’s scales recorded 198 kg for the 2025 Standard: the weighing conditions weren’t specified, so Yamaha’s figure remains the reference.
Does the Ténéré 700 use more fuel than the previous version?
Only slightly, on paper. Yamaha’s 2023 Italian spec sheet listed 4.16 l/100 km, while the 2025 sheet listed 4.3 l/100 km. In inSella’s tests, the new model uses less fuel at steady speeds of 90 and 120 km/h and almost the same amount on highways and country roads. In real-world riding, the difference is smaller than the variation caused by riding style, load, and tires.
Is the Ténéré 700 good on the highway?
Yes, but it’s not where it excels. At 130 km/h, the engine runs effortlessly and the chassis is stable; its limitations are wind protection, which almost all reviews say could be better, and fuel consumption, which rises quickly above 120 km/h. The Standard and Rally don’t come with cruise control, but the 2026 World Raid does.
How do the Ténéré 700, Rally, and World Raid compare in performance?
All three have the same engine: 73.4 hp and a claimed 68 Nm. Weight, suspension, and fuel tank differ. The Rally has 20 mm more suspension travel and a 910 mm seat height; the World Raid adds twin 23-liter fuel tanks (around 500 km of range according to Yamaha), cruise control, and a speed limiter. Straight-line performance is very similar; the main difference is range.
Is there a Ténéré 700 for an A2 license?
Yes, the Ténéré 700 is also available in a 35 kW version for an A2 license. The only published instrumented test of a restricted version, conducted by inSella on the first-generation 2019 model, recorded a top speed of 162.9 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, and average fuel economy of about 25 km/l.
Do cases increase the Ténéré 700's fuel consumption?
Yes. Side cases and a top case increase the bike's frontal area and weight, and the effect grows with speed: it is barely noticeable at 90 km/h, but much more so on the highway. No published measurements compare the Ténéré with and without luggage, so be wary of anyone giving precise percentages. Removing the cases when you don't need them is the easiest way to get back to stock fuel economy.
How much does the Ténéré 700 cost in 2026?
Italian price lists show €10,999 for the standard model, €12,199 for the Rally, and €13,199 for the World Raid 2026, ex-dealer. Many dealers offer promotions, so ask in-store for the final price.
What fuel does the Ténéré 700 use, and is 98 octane worth it?
The reference is 95-octane unleaded fuel from Italian fuel stations; refer to the owner's manual for the exact specification. Premium fuels show no clear fuel economy benefit: in a public Spritmonitor log covering more than 14,000 km with different fuels, the best average was achieved with regular gasoline.
