There are adventure bikes for the photo and adventure bikes for actually riding. The Yamaha Ténéré 700 is in the second category. From Marrakech, with this machine, you can go anywhere. Literally.
The Ténéré 700: what makes it different
689cc parallel-twin. Long-travel Kayaba suspension front and rear. 21-inch front wheel — the one that rolls over rocks without flinching. 16-litre tank — 400km range on road. The Ténéré 700 has nothing superfluous and nothing missing. It's a motorcycle built for real adventure, not for looking like one.
What you do with it from Marrakech
Tizi n'Tichka: The 2,260-metre pass, the natural gateway to the southern valleys. The road is fully paved but winding — the Ténéré is completely at home there.
Dadès Gorges: Two days minimum from Marrakech. Cross the Atlas, night in Ouarzazate, return via the gorges. One of Africa's finest motorcycle routes.
Ourika and the high-altitude tracks: An hour from Marrakech. The valley is accessible by car but the tracks above it only work on a proper bike. The Ténéré climbs where others stop.
Toward Zagora and the desert: Three days. Chegaga dunes or Erg Chebbi. The Ténéré handles all of it effortlessly.
For which rider?
The Ténéré 700 is a 689cc manual motorcycle. A motorcycle licence and real experience are required. It's not the bike for a beginner, but if you have experience and want a genuine adventure in Morocco, this is it.
