The bike is more than capable of long distance on tarmac, you just need to adjust your speed to 65mph and avoid motorways. The engine is a Husqvarna te630 , which was an Italian Husqvarna merge of the cagiva and husky fourstroke. The dohc and head of the te450/510, it is a strong reliable engine with a nice wide ratio six speed box. The lack of centre stand is easily overcome with an easily available snapjack.
I agree...we need to notch back speed just a bit on open roads, i still think the better bikes are singles up to 600cc...purely for weight reasons!!!. Thanks for your input.
@FranksWay absolutely, light is right, CCM nearly had it right with the gp 450 adventure, 126kg dry, but chose the wrong engine with the bme g450x, ironically they use the swm/husky engine in their spitfire range, but failed to transfer it to the gp for some weird unexplainable reason
@GarryMorgansmith 126 kg is damnn good...i will be looking at a DRZ or Domi for my europe travels soon....with upgrades of course..or a TA on a huge diet.
Hey Frank hope your well bro 🤛 The AJP is reminding me more of the nc700 but don't ask me why it just does 😉 I'm curious to know what standard tyres these new bikes are fitted with as I'm looking for a pair of good mainly off road tyres for my RD04 in preparation for a super long mainly off road trip around Spain so any info when you have a minute would be appreciated 👍
This beautiful bike is not sold in my country. Hopefully Yamaha or Honda take a look at this design and remember the beautiful big bore thumpers they used to offer that their customers still long for.

My 21 690 is kinda that way. 75mph the bike seems happy, once wind protection for the rider is in place. But at 65mph it is very relaxed.
Much Enjoyment 👍😎
Will be my next bike!
@skulijakobsson5116 great!! 😉

I always stick with Anakee wild front 21 inch and your choice of back tire...TKC comes to mind on rear...enjoy your trip!!
@FranksWay cheers Frank, I just googled AJP standard tyres.....continental tkc 80 twinduro as standard and look a good choice cheers
Have fun bud

I agree...why dont they ship to worldwide markets?
Magazines weight this AJP at over 400lbs, so lightweight can be subjective.
AJP claims a lower weight.
Thanks for that
