If your interests lean more dirt than pavement, between those two it's an easy vote for the 690. Both bikes will do gravel/dirt/fire roads and easy trails but the T7 is going to be more work carrying around additional 100 LBS wet as you go further from the tarmac.

Its all-new parallel-twin engine was compact but powerful, striking a balance that would resurface almost thirty years later in bikes like the Honda Africa Twin, KTM 890 Adventure, and yes, Yamaha’s own Ténéré 700. Eric exploring Oregon's backcountry on the Ténéré 700. Yamaha was back in the race with their new twin-cylinder Ténéré.
The ground clearance of both bikes is the same – 240 mm and with a seat height of less than 860 mm, the Tuareg is a bit more friendly to the shorter riders than the Tenere. The Italian machine has 2 liters more in its fuel tank – 18 vs 16 in the Tenere – another point of strength over its Japanese competitor. With a price tag starting at
