You've quickly become my favorite motorcycle channel when it comes to reviews, I seriously don't know how you have time to do these videos. I really respect how much effort you're giving this stuff. I know those reviews take a lot of time, especially with the amount of detail packed into them. I'm not sure how you even have time to sleep. Much respect, I can definitely see this channel growing more and more.

@mnicp01 Год назад

Since the suspension is fully adjustable, would love to see you doing a "suspension setup" video, where you fully set up, for aggressive and plush options.... walk through how to do it... and share your fav settings. There is very little on the web, 4 setup for this bike. Since the suspension on this bike seems to need nothing but the settings adjusted, I bet it would become the "de facto" vid for everyone needing to set up a Tuareg... but then again, you are already my de-facto on all things moto! Appreciate the excellent channel and attention to details you provide!

@advredbikes Год назад

Thank you Ian, opening up our ideas of certain bikes that are available is great, you are a one stop shop, thank you Neal.

@chadwoolf179 Год назад

The reason I love your work Ian is because you’re passionate about the segment AND you’ve ridden all the bikes. You also think like I do when evaluating a bike, and we are pretty much the same height/weight so everything you say is 100% valid for me. Keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to this series. I just dumped my T7 for a big profit (way too top heavy and the brakes suck) and am keeping my 890, but I may add a Tuareg (assuming my wife is ok with another bike).

@erwinmotorbike Год назад

You are spot on on just about everything from stating that this segment produces some of the best motorcycles to not buying extended warranties etc

@heinkuipers1899 Год назад

Hi Ian. I own a Tuareg for 5 months. 2500 miles on it now. Very happy with it. (I also own a 2016 1200GSA). The Tuareg feels like what a small GS should have been in my opinion. No complaints. No issues. Bought the Aprilia after a back to back test ride against the Norden 901. The Tuareg brought a bigger smile on my face than the Norden. And also despite being a lot cheaper , it did not show in quality. Added quickshifter and Heed Crashbars and skid plate. Interestingly with the more open engine protection the heat from the exhaust seems a lot less than before. All in all very happy with this bike on and off-road.

@KyleMagill Год назад

On pricing - you did well. Back in July I was quoted $15040 OTD at the Glendale CA area dealership. That said, shortly after, I was lucky enough to find a used Indaco Tagelmust (private sale) with 1100 miles on it. Came with Hepco Becker hard cases, engine bars, brush guards, headlight guard, additional OEM low seat and a tail rack. Taxes in I paid $13,900. This is my 5th bike after returning to riding 7 years ago and by far my favorite so far. Looking forward to your future videos further confirming my bias. Keep up the good work!

@kawabungah20 Год назад

This is very exciting. Ever since your test ride on this bike at the April 2022 ADV Talley, I've been waiting for your in-depth review. You rascal, going out and buying one to share adventures with us!! Thank you. Looking forward to more. (I think you selected the best color IMHO.)

Super glad you're reviewing the Tuareg. It's the only moto that excites me at this time. After you put out the test ride video months back, I was wondering and hoping that it was an interesting bike that you would someday cover, THAT DAY HAS COME!!! YAY. I liked your closing statements, thank you.........

@gregstone5461 Год назад

@hibob841 Год назад

Fantastic content as always, Ian. Any time I'm curious about an ADV model and want a detailed review, your channel is always my first stop. I think the fact that you purchase many of the bikes allows you to give a unique perspective that might be difficult for someone who's totally dependent on access to press bikes, and I greatly respect the fact that you're able to evaluate your own purchases in such an honest way. This bike sure does look compelling, especially with the Transalp looking like a bit of a dud (for my purposes). My Africa Twin's days may be numbered...

@andrewtreloar7389 Год назад

Crikey, you got onto this early Ian. I am starting to love the Tuareg, and I really want to see how it fares long term, especially from the point of view of a guy (you) who is going to use it for what it was designed for! Your positive comments about the bike at the rider launch with Ben makes me consider this bike as my next purchase, but here in Australia we have the same issues as you with sparse dealer networks and limited availability of spares etc. Looking forward to seeing your next video on the Tuareg! Great work mate, keep it up!

@aviron2000 Год назад

@juliusjacob1416 Год назад

Yesss I’m super excited for this. On paper the Touareg is unicorn material, but the media coverage on the bike has been minimal. The only thing I’m not too keen on are the looks of the bike. It just doesn’t have that same cool utilitarian off-road look like the T7 or the Adventure R. I’m very interested to see what the best adventure motorcycle journalist on RU-vid has to say about it.

@robertobruselas3952 Год назад

Wow, your channel is great. Love how you put things in perspective.

Good stuff. Looking forward to thew next few videos on this bike. Thanks Ian.

@brook_slider Год назад

Took one of these out for a ride on loose gravel as part of an Aprilia riding day launch. Didn't expect much however walked away stunned on how good this bike is. It's suprisingly good at everything and so nimble for it's size. It felt so easy to ride and handles amazingly well. Aprilia have done their homework and delivered. I currently own a 2020 KTM 690 and although I would be giving up some off road, the gap is less than I expected for this class however the on road is great. Fun, easy to live with bike provided maintenance isn't an issue.

@craig1912 Год назад

Hey Ian. Glad to see you're doing this long term review on the Tuareg 660. I've had mine for about 2 1/2 months now. One thing I would like for you to monitor is the fuel mileage. I seem to be getting in the low to mid 40's on mixed riding which is a bit disappointing. Also with the stock tires my speedometer was off by 5 miles per hour at highway speeds. I replaced those tires with offroad Motoz tires and now it's about 4 miles per hour off. The speedo is reading high which means the mileage is even a bit worse. Average miles per gallon displayed on the TFT is always way off, too.Thanks. Looking forward to the reviews.

@hvalour1 Год назад

I am looking forward to seeing how this bike stacks up to the t7! Thanks Ian, you are doing a good job!

@jasonpoznic8277 Год назад

Thanks for giving the Toureg a go, you're one of the very few credible RU-vidrs out there. I've riden the Toureg/T7/Desert X and the Aprilia is it at the top of the list to replace my aging XC800. Cheers 👍

@MrRickrm Год назад

Your channel is the best of all. I ride a 2013 vstrom dl650a and looking to change to better off road, while being good on the highway. The amount of dealers available and parts is not good. But seeing your videos will be a game changer for me.

@ChrisSandstorm Год назад

I am soo pumped you bought this and shared the pricing. Thanks.. I kinda just discovered this bike recently. I have a new klr650, a 300L Rally and a KLX300. I have been wanting something maybe a bit more refined and advanced to the KLR, like a T700 but those are probably too tall for me and the Aprilla seems like a really good bang for the buck!

@ozzie7523 Год назад

I like how they mounted the exaust higher up at the rear on the Tuareg. The front bash plate is a bit meh, but at least they give you something to protect the front, and you can always buy a better after market one later. The new Transalp has no protection up front as standard, and the rear muffler is mounted too low imo. Looking forward to your reviews on the Tuareg.👍

@davidpoffenbarger3686 Год назад

I agree a middle weight adventure bike is an exciting market segment so I'm really interested in following this series. With the Aprillia retail price (less tax/license) about what used T7s go for around me, it's a compelling option. Not gonna lie, it annoys the crap out of me the average rider can't get the T7 without a huge premium due to limited availability. That said, very interested in the reliability aspect of both the Tuareg and the KTM 890 you're also covering. Both of these are high on the list to replace my AT. Thanks and as always, keep up on the great work!

@lessmore444 Год назад

Straight goods as always Ian. Fair deal indeed if it’s competitive with T7 pricing yet packs more features & better suspension outa the box. Keen to see your further take on this rig.

@gregleingang9409 Год назад

I've been hoping you would test this bike out! Specs/features, price, and looks in my opinion make this the top middle weight adv. Whether it lives up to that top spot in reality depends on how it rides and its reliability. And you are the best one out there to trust on that!! Can't wait to hear your experience good and not so good.

@terryperrier2893 Год назад

Hello Ian! I traded my 2020 KTM 390 Adventure(22000km 75% on dirt) on a new Tuareg 660 Martian Red...just have to wait for it to arrive. Also, living in Quebec, Canada I will also have to wait until Spring 2023. Love your choice of tires. I am also immediately swapping to Motoz RallZ. Hope you also feature and comment on the accessories available(or lack thereof) for the Tuareg. I have also purchased from the dealer OEM handlebar heaters and the lower comfort seat (I am 5'6"). By next spring I should have ready to install the following: skid plate, crash bars, barkbusters, Evo footpeg kit (my right leg is 1/2" shorter than left so the adjustable height helps my lower back when standing), auxiliary lights to help spot moose at night and a side stand foot pad. I have been using the Tusk Highland X2 rackless bags on my KTM this past year and I love them so they will go on the Tuareg. Not sure which tank bag to get until I see how they fit. Hope you do segment on that. Thanks for all the entertaining and informative episodes! Terry

Where I live now, I will definitely benefit from a platform that can do dirt and pavement, and this bike has definitely caught my attention.

@spencervidal3168 Год назад

An excellent price for what your getting.. I will be doing one for sure. I have experience with Aprilia in the past, O7 Tuono 1000 that I rode the wheels off of with no brand issues what so ever. So I have confidence in the Aprilia brand. I get parts through AF1 sent within days and have NEVER used a dealer tech.. In fact the dealer did a shitty job of setting up my Tuono back in the day So dealer network means nothing to me.. Keep up the good work.

@rlmillr Год назад

Really looking forward to this series.

@garydrummond9129 Год назад

I tried to buy a Tuareg, in Norther California. Dealership wanted $15k+, charging a freight and setup fee AND then taxing both. They lost the sale. I had bought a new Beta earlier in the year and the dealer only charged the freight fee and didn't tax it. I bought an 890 Adv R instead for LESS than what that dealer wanted for a Tuareg. Anyways...Keep up the good work Big Rock!

@chrisw8646 Год назад

… indeed - you are quite influential .. I test rode the Tuareg today in Bavaria - coming from Multistradas and GS’es, the Tuareg was a surprising fun to ride - light, nimble, good looking, too in my view - I even dared to illegally enter some forest tracks (… which I would never dare with my MTS V4), and it was pure entertainment … very tempting … but it got quite hot (even under cold autumn conditions) on its way back downtown …

@alexjson Год назад

Looking forward to your future videos. The Tuareg has got my attention especially since UK dealers are selling them for £9000 (About $10,700), RRP is usually £10,600. I've heard great things about them but as mentioned the reliability and service/parts are a worry. I may wait until the bike has been out for a couple of years so they can get through the teething issues or else "adventurize" a Husky 701

@gheorghevlad3889 Год назад

Very nice motorcycle! I have ridden it and it was a pleasure being on it. The windscreen is the single thing that I will change on it.

@cocchiam Год назад

Hi, in Italy, where I live, this bike has been compared with the Tenere. The main difference seems to be the engine character. The CP2 has more low rpm torque that helps a lot in off-road. The Tuareg has more juice on open roads. Also it seems to be more comfortable as it comes with softer suspensions. As an Italian I am very curious to see your comments on the bike.

@chrishart8548 Год назад

The CP2 has more capacity it's called a 700 after all. They both fire the same 270° crank. I would have been happier with a 600cc for cheaper road tax and better fuel economy. And smoothness. It would still have enough power for solo rides

@SandlotRider Год назад

I find it crazy that you don't get the Rally, the World Raid or the 2023 upgrades in USAmerica but I find it even crazier than you could get a Tuareg cheaper than a T7. Here in France it's still 1k€+ more expensive than the T7 and there's no supply shortage on the T7 (because it's made here). That said, Aprilia's dealer network and retailing is on par with Yamaha's, so the Tuareg is still very competitive with the T7, considering its superior features.

Oh such a tease. Here I thought the first Tuareg video was up, but it's still a premiere impending. And so I wait.

Ian “ Big rock Moto“ been watching the channel now for about a year. Two thumbs up, you are world class!! Never get tired of what you’re doing. Anyways GP motorcycles is right down the street from my house. I will be there this Saturday because of you to test ride that motorcycle!! Also Moto Guzzi version 85TT is on that list also. But what a great video, cruise control at that why can’t the Japanese manufacturers just put cruise control on their midsize adventure bikes??

I can second GP Motorcycles in San Diego! I purchased my Tuono V4 from them last year. Drove down from Orange County past 2 other dealers. They were really easy to work with. Great experience

Hi Ian - love the brief review and explanation of pricing. (New subscriber.) I recently bought a new BMW F750GS after looking at several other bikes. A couple of things made me pass on the Tuareg. Firstly, it's too tall for me (or I'm too short for the bike 🙂) and secondly, the welded sub-frame could be very expensive to repair if it gets damaged. Great looking bike, though, and capable of carrying heavy loads.

Great content as always.. I like how it has more travel and ground clearance than the T7. Maybe that will convince the riders that think the T7 is the most offroad bike in the class...

Keep up the great work 👊🏻👊🏻

Its worth mentioning that this is the only bike I know of in this mid adv market that has Cruise Control, essential for me. The only other bike is the CFMOTO 800MT but that is more street focused and a lot heavier. The direct competition T7 and the new Transalp do NOT have CC.

Other bikes with CC would be the moto guzzi V85TT and the triump tiger 800xcx, but yeah they are really skimping on simple features to not eat into their higher tier bikes
