You did a damn good job talking about these two bikes I own a 701 in Australia amazing machine but got dusted because previous owner wasn’t oiling the filter properly with the spray on Motorex oil that does not soak the filter enough. We are so lucky to have the amount of tracks on the east coast of Australia one of the best places in the world for anything off road and the 701 is truly at home here I got her fixed up and she’s an amazing machine I can’t see parting with ever!!!!

So while I genuinely like your videos I do wonder why you are comparing these two bikes and show riding the PR7? Maybe I missed something??

this how hard it must be for regular-sized people to ride those T7's in your group!! :) Compared to them you are pretty dang big and strong and should have an easier time of it comparatively?

Check out the Stegra app for navigation. I haven't used it myself but I talked to the guys behind the app and they are genuine riders who understand what we need in a navigation app!

Here in the US market, which is likely the biggest ADV bike market in the world, I believe it comes down to simply name brand recognition and nothing more. Buyers in the US are not familiar with the Aprilia brand. Those that are familiar with Aprilia (sport bike owners) are not interested in ADV bikes. I own a 2023 Tuareg with over 5k miles. I previously owned a BMW GS and find the Tuareg superior in every way. It checks all the blocks I wanted in an ADV bike, light, nimble, low center of gravity, extremely capable off road, tubless tires, excellent suspension, all the modern electronics incl. cruise control, and it handles like a dream on pavement even with my knobby Motoz tires. Aprilia made the ADV bike that no other manufacturer could make because they have no other ADV bikes within their own line up to rob sales from (think new Transalp & Africa Twin). They are not going to compete with themselves and loose sales on their flagship models. I have had no problems at all with the Tuareg. Most (if not all) of the issues I have seen on UA-cam with the Tuareg are due to the rider and how the bike was used and not a problem with the Tuareg itself. Issues like kick stand spring retainer bolts breaking off on large rocks are easily and cheaply corrected. Upgrading the air filter for dusty roads....no problem. You will find small issues like this with any motorcycle, especially new models.

Good stuff!

I love it, minus the stickers.

Hello. May you tell us the samsung model?

Thank you very much for the informations. I have something to ask., Is it possible whit this system to connect two helmets, the pilot and the passenger? Can they talk? Thank you very much

Love Giant Loop gear. I run a few combinations depending on whether I'm camping or staying in accommodation. Short or long trip. Great Basin, Tillamook Dry Bag, Rogue, Fandango Tank Bag, Zig Zag Handle Bar Bag, Klamath Tail Pack

I'm pretty into Moto camping. I won't say minimalist at all, but definitely hate bulky stuff like that rolled up sleeping pad on my bike. I bought a relatively inexpensive air mattress that rolls up to the size of a coke can. Game changer.

Super useful video. I live in the Algarve, Portugal. I've got a 2023 Tenere WORLD RAID and I love it. Lower center of gravity, better suspension than the T7, and more. I'll be taking her through a 3000 km trip through Spain, France, and Italy in November. I'm expecting it to be an amazing adventure. I took her on a 1500 km through the hills and mountains of northern Portugal and it was incredible. Super comfy and responsive. But I'm also considering adding the 701 to my collection for the more technical riding here in Portugal and also in nearby Spain. I wouldn't think of taking the 701 on such a big trip to Italy but I think it'll be amazing to flick around the hundreds of trails in the Algarve.

I have ridden one. I love it. Might sell one of my DR650s for.

Aprilia has earned itself a lot of negative rep for being unreliable coupled with poor dealership service to service their warranty work as you said in the video. A lot of people have been burned by their Tuonos and the like so they're gun shy on the Tuareg. The other thing to note is that KTMs are rarely trusted when reliability truly matters. You don't ride a KTM 50+ miles out in the middle of nowhere where you breaking down turns into a survival situation. They're taken on relatively short ranged, spirited treks but most don't trust a KTM to go the distance where support and coverage is spotty or the consequences of a break down could mean you dying out in the middle of nowhere. The Big 4 are known for the reliability first and most serious riders taking their bike out there don't want to get stranded 50+ miles out in the desert and now on a sudden multi-day survival trek back to civilization. Once you really go off the roads on a bike with some range on it, reliability becomes more important with range. It's one of the major reasons dual sports or dirt bikes have such relatively small gas tanks on them. We could make the gas tanks huge, but then the worry is that riders would be tempted to take them for many hours outside of safely recoverable range and before the user knows it, they've exceeded their 120hr service interval and the engine fails and they're now a week's hike through wilderness to get back to civilization. That's what's actually killed many racers in the Dakar in the past. They break down and can't make contact with help in time and the desert claims another. They now have a relatively set route with chase vehicles specifically to prevent that type of loss of life. IRL, you don't have a chase vehicle following you around to pick you up if your bike takes a shit on you.

Hei Johannes, hvor i Norge bor du? Jeg vil kjøpe PR7, så kanskje det er mulig å møte med deg?

Had 2 PR7, different years. Tablet went mental in the rain, died after a wash. Engine wouldn't start in the winter before battery flat. Forward facing air intake sucks water into proprietary air filter. Fuel cap sticks and drops mud into tank. Sticky fuel level sensor. Unadjustable headlights point into sky. Exhaust flattens on first bump. Rear brake lever sits on exhaust. Can't adjust spring preload without removing tank. Rectifier under water during river crossings. Rotten wiring, broken wires in loom. Endless design flaws. Should be a brilliant bike on paper, sold both.

On the road advice from an actual Viking.....✊️

Peaked helmets for travel are the "peak" of stupidity IMO. Modern road helmets with an internal tinted visor are superior in the vast majority of situations and they don't catch the wind.

This is for you.. because you are tall..but light is better ever...that's it

Shame, I liked your AJP PR7 video. With this you just clickbait people and make an invalid argument.

Rode one today. Fantastic and a no brainer for the price. Put my deposit down 🍻

That engine isn't from China. It's made in Italy in the old Husqvarna factory that got abandoned when KTM bought the Husqvarna name and decided to just stick white plastic on KTMs and call them Husqvarnas. It's basically the old 2010 TE 630 motor, which is no bad thing.

The 450MT feels like it weighs 50kg less than a T7. It feels like the XT600 I have and that weighs 160kg. CoG is key. The overall size of the MT ist also alot smaller than the typical 200kg bikes. I have ridden it for an hour and was really impressed. I can get myself to buy chinese products in this price area right now, sadly.

I want acerbic to make a tank for the Tenere that’s the same size as stock but in plastic to save weight and keep the scratches off metal tanks

Ajp PR7 💪🏻

I have sat on it, it is enormously high. I met him in Helsingborg Sweden. And I'm quite tall but just reached down with my toes. I have a Tenere myself and I can put both feet down.

Well I'm here after my key broke while on a motorcycle weekend, still have to figure out how to get it out 😢. Unfortunately this lock is no option for me as it's out on the street.

Hello Johannes, Thanks for the video. Plan the ACT trip through the Pyrenees and the pre-filter is a nice solution to not needed to clean the paper filter and exchanging the pre-filter is easier. What size is the Twinair pre-filter and is it easy to pealing off the top?

Is the throttle Snatchy on the lower end when doing slow technical stuff?

Oh, there is no clamp to tighten up the airbox on the throttle body? Nothing?

I wear 2 swimming pants for years instead of underwear, thanks Johannes, good and informative video, Erwin from Holland, going to Spitsbergen - on march 2025 by MP3scooter - including ski's.

That orage frame looks like the culprit on the TwinAir, I bet the edge get sucked into the air box and let particles through. Great video, I am looking to buy a PR7 as a travel bike

The concern of radiator protection is valid. However, increasing the bike's weight by mounting metal crash bars is not necessary. If you are concerned regarding the weight gain, radiator guards made of carbon fibre are the best option (Oakleaf Engineering, Bielefeld, Germany).

can someone who owns pr7 tell me how it is looking in terms of getting OEM parts? e.g. IF I destroy radiator, do I have to order it from Portugal and wait 1 month or more for dlivery or how it is looking

Riding there is incredible. I want to go back so bad. Also thinking about getting a PR7… we’ll see 😅

Do you have a suggestion for the best remote controller you would buy ?

Love your video, i bought the same set up on my CRF 300L Could you summarize all the apps you use ? Thanks Johannes !

Thanks for your evaluation, exactly what I needed. I’m a decent rider, raced some enduros in the 80s and 90s, and I’ve done a couple in the last few years. I still own a KTM 350 xcw and still trail ride some single trails. So I was worried getting a heavy adventure bike would not make me happy. But thinking about what I want to use it for, mostly two tracks and some tarmac, the T7 is what I’ll be looking for.

Loved your argument "because I'm 50% Portuguese" Well done 👍 from another Tuga😂

🙂👍.

Comfort or Comfort XL seat? What rally tower/screen is that? Thanks!

not sure i wouldnt buy a Husky701 or KTM 690over the PR7 but not going to buy th Kove

Johannes, can you please show what tools you have?

Bought an Expedition in October 23. Now I’m near 10k km and have no mayor issues so far. One thing is that the “Immobilizer” shows sometimes a malfunction when it stalls and you start it again on the flight. It’s going to be inspected in two months and we will see if there is a problem (camshafts) with it. I’m really fond of this bike and it’s not one that’s everyone rides. I like that! 😄

Nice video. I just wonder how you manage the battery of the tablet. Do you have some sort of profile in which you prevent draining when the motorcycle is switched off, and when pwoering up things are being switched on?
