Love my T7 but wish I had an Aprilia dealership close by...

Great video, well done 🤜🏽🤛🏽

Terrible video. You say you have to prepare your bike for the 500 mile trip by adding a bigger gas tank, but then say right after that your towing the bike in your truck. This video is just a commercial

awesome wrap !

The Tuareg 660 can't be less reliable than a ktm 790 or 890

I am about to get a taser mini for my new jeep and no 2 videos of the 15 or so I have watched have been the same on the install. Weird how that works.

Are you walking that bike 😂

poor unreliable overpriced bike

I watched this video about 3 times, and then went ahead and changed the oil yesterday on my Rally, I did it with my daughters, and it was amazing shop time with them, and this video really broke down just how simple and easy the oil change actually is. Kudos for making such a great video.

Soooo you paid extra for the Indigo blue then covered it up?!?!?!

Looks like a 300L with a rally front.

That suspension 🥵🥵

I like how you mentioned the kids during voice-over. As a dad, you know. That, and avoiding the BS is always a good call! 😂 Edit: PS, change your air filter if ya havent 😁

The rock stacking is getting rediculous.

Wow, what a view! 🙌

I purchased my 2024 Tuareg last month. Love it!! I immediately changed the windscreen with the Puig Touring Windscreen and the extra 5" made a huge difference (insert office joke here). Performing the 600 mile oil change this week, looking forward to hitting the higher rpm's. I am going to prep it for the Colorado BDR so skid plate and crash bars are next. Of course the bags and other accessories are in order to prepare for the trip What type of GPS are you using? I have not reviewed any of your other videos yet. Your laughing at the end of the video sounds like me in the N. GA Mtns through the twisties, this bike is a lot of fun.

It would have been cool if you switched bikes on the way back and compared notes between the two bikes.

Great informative vid. I use and love the Mosko offset panniers for my 890AdvR when I do BDR’s and I love it. Superior design, construction, quality and support. I reserve my 300 Rally for galavanting around the Philippines. I did purchase a reckless 40 for my 500EXC but have yet to use it. Your vid went a long way in encouraging me to make it happen.

What did you do with the rubber mat after? Did you cut it to fit in between the two mounts?

Charge my EV in 5 seconds. 3 seconds to plug in… 2 seconds to unplug. Full tank every morning.

“Snarky Tesla guy” minds his business, He lives in your heads rent free… I can’t with the made up scenarios😵‍💫

How long does your telsa run in winter. With out reserving any option. Full acess to all telsa options 😂

👋... From one owner to another..🦆

Sjould of asked him: "how many tires do you run through a year? How much are they per tire again?" Throw in the weight of their sedans too, they wear down our roads like freaking semi.

How much do you spend on rubber duckies 😅

That Tesla owner starts feeling anxiety when he is stuck in traffic, on a hot day, going home from work and forgetting to charge his car. Charge now reads 9%.

🦆

That same tesla owners probably doesnt even stop to charge up depending on their schedule

Because of the story’s backing there customers is why I went with The reckless 40 and bunch of other gear from Mosko Moto

Mike, where ya’ riding? AZ?

A little mud is good.

Just saw your bike today at Overland expo in flag. I would have liked to talk to you about it. Did you get that one at go az Peoria by chance? Anyway I've been looking to buy one for awhile now. Would have liked to pick your brain about it. Pros and cons about it. How bad is heat on your right leg etc.

I just got the same Overlandish solo tent today. I'm having some trouble with it using one hand. I had the get in the tent to get the walls to pop out. They won't pop out from the outside because the tension it pulls the whole tent. I can't break it down too. Every time I try to break it down one wall stays up and everything collapses. 🤷🏽‍♂️

You can see that Yamaha has to make a few improvements to keep market share. The Transalp and Tenere are obvious choices for majority of North America because owning an exotic is a crap shoot.. depending on where you live an Italian motorcycle dealer is likely to be far away, Italian motorcycles have a deserved reputation for service issues and parts availability. I love Ducati and MV and Aprilia. Friend has an Aprilia and waited 100+ days for a front brake part that put his bike on the sideline and that's with a dealer here in town. Yamaha will need to get cruise control and tubeless wheels, the linkage and modified seat are already available and short people have immediate, available and relatively inexpensive options to lower the Tenere and Honda and Aprilia have many things out of the box . Have not seen many Aprilias here in Baja and look forward to seeing how they fare in thousands of miles of service free areas. KTM has some issues with electronics for sure, w multiple LCD screen failures that I have seen personally and otherwise bikes work well. Aprilia and others are listening to the market and making bikes w road manners and do research instead of cheerleading like Yamaha. Yamaha knows that the majority of T7 riding and riders are middle aged and limited off road but bike is uncomfortable and has zero wind protection and has ergonomics for torture not touring.. they better fix it or these other options are going to suck up market share.. Aprilia and Honda getting lots of buzz

I belive Explore mode has the most power: Urban mode is ideal for easy riding and provides maximum safety intervention. Explore mode is the Tuareg's 'sport mode', so you can expect enhanced power delivery through a sporty and almost instant throttle response - perfect for more aggressive riding. Off-Road mode equals usable power with minimum traction control and rear ABS disabled. Individual mode lets the rider decide all major settings.

Love the colors. Got the red 23 - awesome bike

Awesome bike! Waiting for more! BTW don't use urban mode. It's kinda like rain mode, use individual and adjust throttle response, engine braking etc...much better IMHO

Just bought a tuareg and love it too. Noticed according to the display being blue means you were in urban mode which has the subdued engine map, try using the explore map as your default ( green ) color. It should wake up the performance.

Field craft survival!

Some years ago I borrowed a 650 dakar that made me switch from cruisers to a V-strom 650xt (adv bikes where my original dream growing up). I only got the V-strom xt because sh market was not that great that year, a new bmw800 was expensive and t660 was a grand more and a bit taller than the V-strom. Also, could not test any of the bikes so I went with a safe choice... Some years passed and I thought a change is in order since I never did get along with the V-strom (a great bike with a great engine, just not for me)... Went to Aprilia to test the v85tt, they had none for test so I got the 660Touareg, this bike made me feel like the dakar did and I started to do some reaserch on the new bikes that came or were coming out. I managed to ride the 660, dealer was okish... Did not like the heat only on the right leg (felt weird), was not allowed to change the riding modes (weird...), felt like the fake vents next to the headlight were suposed to be the actual intake(if it was so it was rushed out) and the seat was a bit uncomfortable. Overall the bike was pretty amazing. Got to test the t7 and I only have three complaints, the seat cut of circulation to my left leg (this is just a me problem), still a bit to tall (I am not buying a bike so I can lower it) and because I suck at even the easiest trail ride the bike will be dropped so the exhaust bending issue made me a bit worried (I know you can get a fix for it). Also an amazing bike Went for the norden 901 sadly the test bike was not available for aome time. Bmw 850 was in the shop to be serviced because some sensor issues... Africa twin DCT was just awful and my girlfriend heated her passenger seat experience. No Tiger 900... Multistrada v2 was just amazing but to expensive. And the last one was the DesertX, the one that I actually purchased. It has the best road experience hands down, on trails the 660 is better because the position of the fuel tank. I did not choose this bike because I can easily afford it, it was just dumb luck that I had the money for it. I chose it because I felt more confident on it than on any other bike and I said to myself that this is once in a lifetime occasion to splurge. It's not the best bike out there but it is for me at this point, and yes, it's an expensive bike that gets very hot (at least it's evenly hot)... But I love that you can change it from 100hp to 70hp, I love the retro look (also the V-strom's square headlight is making me horny), the engine that feels like a tractor and the quality, the only thing I am really missing are tire pressure sensors. The riding modes are just fine, interface and rturn by turn nav is not something to write home about. If I end up selling it at some point my next purchase would be a Tenere660 with ABS and an old 1150GS for touring with my girlfriend. I love all the adventure bikes, this one just happened to be the best fit at this exact moment. Ride safe!

I’m only 5’8” and the T7 is too tall and top heavy for me. I have an 890 Adventure but don’t like the riding position which is “sporty” and cramped. The 660 looks way better for my needs. I’ve seen very few bad reviews on the 660 other than odd niggles.

Gonna grow up to love cars❤

Very illegal not being in a car seat my friend! That’s no bueno!

Ahh the ole Britney Spears driving experience

Dude if that airbag deploys high chance they baby won’t have a head afterwards. Please be safe ❤

That airbag is no joke bud

cool video man, i'm the same height as you/same weight. 30" inseam. I ended up shaving down the seat and added gel inserts. works well for me and it's cheaper than getting the OEM low seat

That’s the best!

Do you plan to keep the 500 and 300 as well?
