sort of a bit jerky. Went through a bit of a ditch/
hollow and when I started up the steep opposite side
as my body moved back the throttle went with me
and made the exit quite spectacular – maybe a little
loss of concentration on my part.
- Speedo – badly needed proper calibration as found
it very optimistic.
- Seat – too hard.

Found the Yamaha minimalistic approach to be
terrific – see my previous report – again, my age
probably dictating my needs/requirements. Overall,

would refer to my previous summation
on this very impressive machine. As
usual, thanks to Tim & Paul at City
Coast, Wollongong, for making the
T700 available and a special note if
you’re in the market for this bike,
another Yamaha, BMW or Triumph I’d
suggest you call in and see them and
take one for a test ride – but, make
sure your Credit Card is handy.
