networking with Dork really works well with adding another level perspective.. big bore bikes vs lightweight.. twin.. that a big gap in the market.. Aprillia's 100kg 70hp rvx450 enduro / sxv550sm could've been an excellent foundation for a super smooth ultra lightweight adv twin.. Aprillia sure know how to build lightness into a bike.. deserves a serious historic review & perspective Ian

@joeyshmoey8514 Год назад

I pick up my blue and white Tuareg tomorrow! I'm 71 yo and have been riding since age 13. I have a 1974 Honda XL350 that I bought new and built the engine to be a duplicate of the Bill Bell/American Honda's Baja 1000 winning bike; a 449cc annimal. I also have a 1975 Honda XL175 that I bought new. I built it into a 267cc beast. That bike got a full "Powroll" treatment. My newest motorcycle is a 1985 BMW K100RS - a 560lb long distance sport touring bike. I love those bikes but they don't fit my current needs or desires. I expect the Tuareg to be an ideal marriage of the two realms. I'm looking for the best balance of capabilities with the fewest compromises, available today, and I think I found it. The only negative is that there are only about 70 Aprilia dealerships in the U.S. I think that the Tuareg is going to attract a different type of rider, and, I believe, a larger pool of riders than their sport bikes attract. Despite having fewer dealerships, there are 8 Tuaregs available within 200 miles of me (upstate NY). But the Honda CRF300 is about as sparse, despite Honda's dealership network. The CRF300LS (low seat), and the Transalp 750 are nonexistent yet. Piaggio can (hoppefully) improve the dealership issue. Another consideration was that the Japanese bikes I was looking at had a one year warantee; while the Aprilia has a two year warantee. That says something.

They had the G 650 GS, but the kind of people with the money to get those (in general) are the kind of people that believes "more is ALWAYS better" and thats why we have 150 pound people riding 500+ pounds bikes, or 5000 pounds vehicles full of empty seats... It has never been about being practical or useful or logical... Its about flash and lots of money

@alkistsironis5135 2 года назад

I had the f750 gs and now i own a f850gs adv. I m very happy with both bikes. I don t see why they should be lighter. For adv riding, go buy a Honda crf 300 and have fun. Everything else is just marketing.

@keyboarddancers7751 2 года назад

Here's a few thoughts on the T7 and the Tuareg. T7: engine slightly larger but with lower state of tune = well proven unburstable round-the-world reliability and practicality. Tuareg: excellent competitive price, suspension and electronics. Both bikes: rackless luggage covers the rear lights? Less than satisfactory bash plate, seat and screen: ADV bike manufacturers seem to have a "silent agreement" to sustain the aftermarket parts industry.

Can't forget about that indaco tagelmust color scheme, even a few Harley Davidson riders told me the bikes incredibly sexy and thats rare lol. I owe you another thank you because your video on multiple bikes helped get my stable right. So far I have a 2018 Beta 500rr-s and the 2022 Aprilia Tuareg 660 paid in full.

I loved it and it took me all over the Smokey and Ozark Mountains, Into the Rockies on Imogene Pass, Ophir Pass, Last Dollar Hwy, the Eastern TAT in the early 2000s, Parson Branch Rd, and I could go on and on. Never had an issue with reliability. That Tuareg looks like the sweat spot for adventure bikes today - if only there was a dealer closer than 280 miles away!

Thanks Ian, I appreciate your honest reviews and you have me sold on this one. I just popped by my Aprilia dealer and put an on order on one. Not being able to find a T7 I think this will be the perfect one bike bridge between my 21 Moto Guzzi and my 07 DRZ400. I know that unicorns are extinct but this one really seems perfect for my usage (BDRs, etc.)? The MG was lovely but I hated the seat and it is about 80Lbs heavier and not near as dirt oriented. I'm looking forward to a full review if you ever get your hands on one. Cheers.

@MOTOPILOT6 Год назад

I'm already seeing a lot of RU-vid videos featuring full exhaust that helps with removing the converter heat issue, crash bars, wind screens, luggage and more. I sat on this bike at Malcolm Smith's dealership yesterday and loved it. It has a nice sleek and tall aggressive stance and great overall looks. The Red model for me. It made the KTM 890 look low, slow and fat honestly. They had no Yamaha T7's on the floor or Honda CB500x which looks nice but it's too slow and basic for my taste. I had an Aprilia RSV4 so they know how to make a motor sound amazing. Which is important to most riders. Being a new machine I would opt for the extended warranty. My RSV4 had several odd warranty issues. I'm seeing that the engine case gasket can leak near the water pump. A small thing. I'm hoping to own one of these soon and do a full mod video series on it. Oh and thanks for the video, guys. Bummed I missed it.

Thanks for the great review. I was at the event and wanted to ride the Aprilia but ran out of time. I did ride the Panamerica which I was not impressed with. I currently ride a 2019 790R which I like but I hate the cable actuated clutch and have already replaced. I’m waiting on the next generation of 890 that I hope will have a hydraulic clutch.

Aww hell yeah! Just learned we've got an Aprilia dealer in Austin! Guess who's going bike shopping. This guy ☝️

That intake almost sounds like a two stroke. Love it!

DNA do a filter and open top airbox kit...even more intake noise!

Nice bike. I’m interested to see how they hold up over time. I usually buy my bikes used, so it may be a while(if ever) before I get to throw a leg over one of these. These will most likely be fairly scarce since Aprillia isn’t exactly a high volume manufacturer.
