New: Yamaha RW700 Explore — the RW700 for long tours

The RW700 Explore is the touring version of the RW700. It shares engine, gearbox and chassis with the base model — the 689 cc CP2 with 51 kW (69.3 PS) and six gears with Y-AMT, no clutch lever. The difference is in the equipment, and that is aimed at long days in the saddle.

What the Explore adds:

• Adjustable fork: front preload and rebound can be set for luggage, a passenger and the surface.
• Heated grips and heated seat: the season does not end in October.
• Illuminated handlebar switches: you find the buttons in the dark, too.
• Centre stand: parks safely, even fully loaded.
• Its own colours: Forest Green and Midnight Black.

What stays the same. Upside-down fork with 160 mm of travel at the front and 155 mm at the rear, Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR, six-axis IMU with YRC modes for road and off-road, 5-inch TFT with Garmin navigation. Seat height 810 mm, 14-litre tank. The extra equipment makes the Explore weigh 224 kg ready to ride, three kilos more than the RW700. It is also available with 35 kW for the A2 licence.

RW700 or Explore? If you mainly commute and ride in the warmer months, the RW700 serves you well. If you ride all year, travel with luggage or want to set up the suspension for two, take the Explore — for many riders the heating alone decides it.
