The Yamaha MT-07 laps the Ref Ring in 1:47.33 on paper, 5.71 seconds quicker than the Yamaha Tenere 700 at 1:53.05. That gap is worth about 255 metres at the flag, and the biggest single chunk of it, 0.89 s, comes at Spec Sheet Straight.
Through the corners it is 9 apexes to 0 between the MT-07 and the Tenere 700. Top speed goes 189 km/h to 181 km/h. A faster lap is not the same thing as the better buy, which is why the full comparison scores value, practicality and ownership too.
