Pol Tarres is a magician on a motorcycle. What about a standard Yamaha Tenere 700 is possible, it showed in a short film last year “The Seeker”, which was produced by the Echevarría Brothers.

Now Tarres is obviously planning a sequel. In order to be able to stage the Yamaha and himself even more spectacularly, he had his newly founded Trece Racing Society team build a very special Yamaha Tenere 700. Of course, it shines with even more off-road capability and much less weight. Not because Tarres couldn’t cope with the production bike, but because he simply wants to show even more spectacular driving scenes with the Yamaha. And that’s where the production bike simply reaches its limits.

Weight down, design new

In total, the Yamaha lost around 15 kilograms. The lost pounds are mainly due to the abandonment of attachments that are not relevant for Tarres: For example, the entire ABS system has been removed. The standard exhaust is replaced by an Akrapovic system with a titanium manifold and carbon muffler. Numerous screws have been replaced by titanium components. The built-in crash bar – yes, even a Tarres trusts something like that – comes from the accessory supplier Outback Motortek. The aluminum engine guard and the steel guard for the deflection of the shock absorber are custom-made. The hand protectors come from the free market. For the coarse tires, Tarres reaches into the Mitas shelf. The brake pump comes from Magura. In the previous development stage, the Tenere relies on optimized series spring elements. The team is already suggesting an upgrade to new components.

The new look is rounded off by a special paintwork and a special graphics kit. Fans can also order the latter for their Tenere at a price of 185 euros from livingthisbikelife.com.

Fans will probably be able to see the new Tenere in action this summer, because “The Seeker 2” is firmly planned and will probably be shot in Portugal. Tarres provides a first foretaste on his YouTube channel.
