    Best of luck with your new bike. I agree with your choice. The T7 is clearly more top heavy and not as good on or off the road. Aprillia has hit a home run with this one.

    Great choice the Tuareg 660. Had one last year and enjoyed every minute of riding it, included quick shifter, did 3000 miles and didn’t have one single issue with it, just to be sure check the engine bolts and water pump housing mine wasn’t torqued quite exactly which could have had future issues but for the fact I went over the bike after 600 mile service which my uk dealer should have really done but you will love that suspension it’s fantastic, enjoy the bike, ride safe PB!

      It's crazy how many bikes are assembled wrong from the start. Everyone should do this with a new bike for sure.
      Agreed.. the Tuareg suspension is lightyears ahead of the stock Tenere.

    They both look nice, the Tenere has better reliability reputation. But the TUAREG is the better bike in every other aspect. This is as proven by the many professional bike testers. And for me, the Tenere is too top heavy to give any confidence, on road, or off.

    I have owned both and sold tenere.....top heavy and needed suspension work...Tuareg excellent all round bike ...went up against ktm and Norden and all said how well tuareg handled off road. On road great.. no issues so far..very balanced and way easier to handle in slow technical. Added a windshield deflector and t-rex skid plate . Hepco Becker crash bars.. rear rack gb racing case covers ..much narrower than t-7
    . Great review..😊

    I was very close to buy an Aprilia i.s.o my Tenere as Aprilia is for sure a better bike. But the design is really bad imo and I really trust the reliability of the CP2 engine in the Tenere. Buying a bike isn’t always based on facts but also feelings. I want to turn around and look at my bike after a stop. Wouldn’t do that on the Aprilia. But for sure Aprilia is bang for the buck. Congratulations to your purchase.

    • @PatchedBandit
      @PatchedBandit  9 місяців тому +1

      Very true. The design is a very personal thing and the Tuareg is an opinion divider for sure. I don't think it's the best looking bike but also I don't think it's ugly either 😁

      Sluggish meaning top heavy feel when transfering weight side to side. I've said it too Tenere is more suited for riders over 180. Tuareg is very nice for riders over 170. Small differences but as you are VERY tall it's no surprise that you feel the T7 suits you better.

    People will hate this, but is it worth 3 x MT450s? I know the power, but apart from that, you buy an MT450 and probably just as reliable and capable off road. And even if you drop it, thrash it and get half what you paid, can afford to have 2 bikes then one 660.

      I already had a bmw 650 GS Sertao which had the same power to weight ratio to that MT450.
      If you value only getting from a to b then you probably don't see the point in paying more. But we all have different ways of valuing a motorcycles we buy. I would not swap the Tuareg away for 3, MT450's baceuse I value the power and cabability this bike offers. 😄

      Yamaha has once again opened a new page in the bike industry. They created a new class of bikes, with a new long-developed engine. The rest just stole from Yamaha again, and now everyone is racing to spit T7. It's hard to be a pioneer. After the pioneers, it's easy to follow, and Yamaha is always a pioneer.

    The T7 is a 💯 times more top heavy.
    Go lean one over, & you might bust a 🥜
    Tuareg feels way lighter, has better turning radius, seat is a thousand times better, suspension is night & day better.
    Only thing better on the T7 is low end torque, ONLY thing!
    But overall power Tuareg kills the T7 💪

      I had ridden the Tuareg a couple times before but the turning radius still surprised me. I'm not sure if it's just easier to turn as the weight is better balanced on the frame or what but you are correct the bike is very easy to ride slow and turn around.

      Aprilia engine is not in any way a copy of the CP2. And similarities between the bikes end in weight and category. Aprilia created Tuareg to directly compete with the T7 yes. But in all other aspects it is an aprilia entry to this segment of bike. Even though similar there are nothing same about these bikes.
