VOLUME 58 ISSUE 2 JANUARY 12, 2021 P69 So, you're in the market for an off- road travel bike but can't decide between a Husqvarna 701 Enduro LR and a Yamaha Tenere 700? Well, you're in luck N ow the dumpster fire of 2020 is be- hind us, we can look forward to the future with renewed vigor—hopefully behind a set of shiny new handlebars. The past 12 months have really bought into focus what's important in life and traveling the world by motorcycle is now more than ever a must-have in one's existence. Once the borders reopen. There's an enormous cast from which to choose your next travel partner, but we thought we'd go down a different route for this comparison test. Instead of getting a BMW 1250 GSA or a KTM 790 Adven- ture, we thought we'd throw the splendid Yamaha Tenere 700 against one of the stalwarts of long-distance off-roading in the Husqvarna 701 Enduro. And seeing as Husqvarna USA has committed to bringing the Long Range (LR) version to our des- erts/forests/mountains, that's what we've got for you today. SAME? Two peas in a pod? Or opposites attract? The results were surprising.
