I have watched so many TH-cam videos comparing the Aprilia Taureg 660 to the Yamaha Tenere 700, and nobody has mentioned how both bikes were designed in Italy, which at least partially explains their similarities, but the Yamaha is mostly produced in Japan largely by robots, and the Touareg is produced in Italy, largely by hand.
Thanks for the info Paul, The first batch of T700 were manufactured in France from what I understand. Both bikes are winners as far as I'm concerned. I've done 40000km on my T700 with no issues. Appreciate your Comment. Regards FPPete.
Ripper video Pete! You gave the Aprilia Tuareg 660 a very good overall review.
That event was excellent, and I hope other Manufacturers take note.
It was a very enjoyable day with you and Hal. I was impressed! 👍😁
A Big "Thank you" to you to Bob. Always enjoy your input. We had a cracking day. Regards FPPete.
THE ABSOLUTE BEST DISPLAY OF RIDER MODES ON THE WEB ...THANK YOU
Thanks so much for your comment. We were very lucky to see the rider modes in action. Regards FPPete.
@@FULLPELTAdventures I've owned this bike for about 3 months now and seen every video out there and only yours shows that in action outstanding
Nice to see an accurate demonstration of traction control and ABS use. The Tuareg manual explains very little and that is all depending on whether the reader can operate a microscope properly. I absolutely love my Martian Red Tuareg. Have fun and thanks for your video
Thanks Heaps Mar T, So glad you're loving the Tuareg. It sure is a cracking Bike. Hope you have many happy Adventures. Kind regards FPP.
just bought one I f LOVE it, did 700 miles in 2 days already what a bike
Fantastic. You are 1 lucky dude. It's a brilliant adventure bike. Regards FPPete.
Excellent video and run down of the Tuareg. Sorry for scaring you when I passed you on the inside of the corner 😮 fantastic day and awesome adventure bike.
Thanks Hal for the mud slide in the undies. Had traction control turned off on the sphincter. LOL.
G'day Pete, excellent in-depth analysis from yourself Bob and Hal . It's definitely a buyer's market at the moment for mid ranged adventure bikes. Seems like a well balanced bike that's user friendly for pros and novices alike . I really enjoyed this one mate . Cheers 👍
Thanks so much Mr Will, really glad you enjoyed the vid. Always look forward to your comments mate. Regards FPPete.
Love the clean responsive throttle on this bad boy! Great review full pelt Peter!
Thanks heaps Mr Matt Deep. If you warm up the armadillo, it really pulls hard. It's all about the wrist action to get this bad boy to explode. Kind regards F.P.Peter.
Well done on this review Pete.
Doesnt seem to be many dud bikes out there these days.
I really like Mal and Aussie Bob's input on the bike. Great having different opinions and likes. Not much to dislike on those rides.
Cheers
Thanks heaps mate. Hal and Bob did a great job of putting their thoughts in. The Tuareg 660 is a top Adventure bike. Regards FPPete.
Best review I’ve seen of this bike thanks boys👍🏻
Thanks sos67, Glad you enjoyed the review. We got lucky with the Demo. Regards FPPete.
That was a great demo on riding modes. I need to watch that a few times and take notes
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Very tempting bike, I like that the fuel is low under the seat, something that is missed on most of the competition
Thanks SLAKK, It sure is a top bike. And that low slung fuel makes a huge difference.
@@FULLPELTAdventures yeah I was going to buy a crf300 rally (still might), but I have a wr250r adventurized with upgraded suspension/rack/safari tank etc. so now I’m thinking maybe I go with one of these and sell my sports bike. This becomes my daily and long km adv, keep the wr250r for snotty harder adv rides 🤔
@@slakk5093 Sounds like a great Plan. Try and get a test ride, on the CRF and the Tuareg, that will sure help you decide what's best for you. The T700 is a cheaper option as well to consider.
@@FULLPELTAdventures I really wanted the t7 but I took one for a 45min test ride and decided (as much as I liked it) that it was too top heavy. The cruise control and tubeless on the Tuareg are also worth the extra coin I think, in addition to the low slung tank and adjustable suspension..
Great review, really helpful to see the rider mode testing!
Thanks Heaps Christopher, Glad you enjoyed the Video. Regards FPPete.
Thanks for sharing the video. Most interesting part is where the instructor explains and shows the djfferent riding modes.
I would be one iff offroad riding were legal here. Regards from Germany
Thanks so much for your comment and glad you enjoyed the video. Great to hear from a viewer in Germany. Regards FPPete.
Really good mate liked the comparisons to the T7 at the start 👌 Nice bike but the Tenere still looks better 😍
Thanks mate. Yeah the T7 sure is a sexy beast. The new colours and tweaks yamaha have done for 2023 and most importantly the price, will keep the T7 at the top.
Great review Pete! Meant a lot more coming from Tenere riders. I just wish I a had an Aprilia dealer somewhere near by. They are becoming very rare in the part of the U.S. where I live.
Thanks heaps Bill. Glad you enjoyed the vid. Yeah, if you can get your hands on a Tuareg, test ride it. You will be impressed.
That was a good fun vid and review. not sure about Aprilia reliability lets wait and see but the specs and control's awesome and looked easy to use and on the fly that's a good one. p.s i think Mark will be jealous 😉
Hi Doug, It sure is a cracking bike, and yes the reliability is the big unknown at the moment. Time will tell. Hopefully Mark will get to ride a Tuareg one day. Thanks for watching. Regards FPPete.
For what I saw now, people are hitting 30k without major complaints.
Amazing🙌🙌🙌👏🏻🙏

Thank You, Glad you enjoyed the Video. Great to hear from a Swiss Viewer. Regards FPPete.
🫶🙏 italian emotions are the best all over the world, viva 🇮🇹
I wish you all the best and please more videos i love it❤️🇨🇭🫶@@FULLPELTAdventures
Great review! I loved the demonstration of the different riding modes, ABS, traction control, etc.
Most people thinks that electronics are useless and they don’t need them…until you need them. Electronic intervention is there to keep you safe, just like the ABS on your car, it doesn't limit the fun factor. Earlier or later it will save you’re a$$ from a nasty crash
Thanks so much for your comment. We sure were lucky to get the demo on the rider aids. They certainly do their job at keeping the rider safe. Regards FPPete.
I really enjoyed the ride/review. The rider modes are super cool. One thing I always wanted to know is if there is a failure on the electronics, does it go onto limp mode? Is it still ridable? Or are you stuck on the side of the road? Great job with this one Pete!
Hi in2ADV, Glad you enjoyed the vid. Great question on the electronics, I will keep that in mind on any future test. Very handy to know. Regards FPPete.
@@FULLPELTAdventures Very good question. Just pull the fuse on the electronics.
Hey Pete. Nice review mate. Looks like a great bike. Would you take it to the same places you’d take your DR650?
Hi Mike, It's still heavier than the DR650 so I would be more comfortable on the DR in difficult terrain. It's all about skill level, I have seen guys take adventure bikes in places that I would really struggle. So it's up to the individual on where they take their bikes. Hope that answers your question. Regards FPPete.
Thanks Pete. I keep looking for something to ‘upgrade’ the DR650 to but no luck so far for the riding I do. The Aprilia would be awesome but I’d cry if I dropped it.
Thanks Pete, great review. You've piqued my interest 🤔 ATB Jason 👍
Thanks Jason, Hope you get to test ride one. It needs a decent Bash plate, And I have concerns with the spare parts availability, and long term reliability, otherwise it's a cracking bike. The T7 is cheaper, has Yamaha reliability, every accessory under the sun, just sayin.
@@FULLPELTAdventures I hear ya Pete. Authorised dealerships are few and far between although there is one across the road from me, lol. Let's see what next year brings and see if they catch on.
Great vid Pete thanks 👍
Hi Johnny, thanks for watching mate, And a BIG "CONGRATULATIONS" on joining the grandfather club. Regards FPPete.
@@FULLPELTAdventures thanks mate
Do you think it would be too underpowered for a road ride with mates on 1200 ish tourers? That’s my only worry coming from an 1190 KTM ? Great review by the way!
Hi Yeahmate, In my opinion it will be fine at fast Highway speeds. It's very similar to a T700, these bikes easily sit on 120kph, they will use slightly more fuel than the big boys at higher speeds, but that's never bothered me.
yup people always rave about great T7 until they try actuall modern adv bike from this century... dont get me wrong T7 is great bike, but its 20 years late to the party and at least 3k€ too expensive for what it is ;
Both the T7 and Tuareg are great bikes. Riders will pay what they want for what they like. Thanks for your comment, regards FPPete.
Surprised that the best venue that Aprilia Australia could come up with was an old parking lot behind some dilapidated buildings with overgrown grass. Book a lodge. Regardless, I'm placing an order next Tuesday with Plano TX Aprilia for an Indaco Tagelmust Tuareg 660. Great to have a dealer 10 miles from the house! 🏍
Congrats on ordering the Tuareg, I hope it serves you well. Yes lucky to have a dealer so close. Enjoy the Adventures coming your way. Regards FPPete.
I should have said picking it up as it’s in stock!
@@triprack That's great. No waiting. Exciting times.
I would of got one only I don’t have a dealership in Bendigo so I went with the t7 awesome video mite get one in a couple years see what the long term reviews are like and what faults they have but still a amazing bike
Thanks for your comment. You would think that the modern engines would be very reliable. It's the electronics that could be vulnerable. Regards FPPete.
might be a lot of T7 traded in on the new Aprilia
Ha ha, yes I'm sure there are some nervous T7's out there.
Brilliant,thanks
Thank you for watching, And I appreciate your comment. Glad you enjoyed the vid. Regards FPPete.
It's going to make a bunch of people have to really think when looking at a KTM 890R and the T700
HI KNK, Spoy on mate, Sure is a great bike by Aprilla. Regards FPPete.
Hi is the 80 hp there or not side by side 660 and t7 which one is qwicker
Tuareg is the best in its class. Is KTM 690 considered in the same class?
Hi C.F. The Tuareg is good for sure. Best in class? That's up to each individual I suppose. The KTM 690 is more dirt orientated, and lighter, I would put it in more dual sport than Adventure category. Regards FPPete.
@@FULLPELTAdventures Thank you for the entertainement.
It was agreed that it would sell more, if it were a Japanese brand. I believe the problem is the Japanese won't even build a bike that competes with the T7, for some mysterious reason. One could ask why the Japanese don't build something that compares to a BMW boxer GS?? They just don't, and that is why there is a huge market for the GS, and undoubtedly, now, for the Tuareg 660.
Hi David, wow what a fantastic comment. Some real discussion points. Thanks heaps mate. Regards FPPete.
See these old guys doing Adv riding motivate older guys to go Dual sport riding!!
How old are they ???
The beauty of motorcycles is they make you feel young, both mentally and physically. That's why we ride. LOL. Thanks heaps for watching. Regards FPPete.
1st
Well done Hal. We sure had a great day. Your Gold medal is in the mail. LOL.
🦄
Adventure Bike? Call it old mans street tourer. They need to ride in groups because the junk is too heavy for old guys to pick it up. What a marketing scam.
You must be fun at parties ....
Stfu man😂 some tough guy that’s tryin to be macho but in reality can’t ride bikes for shit
I Think the Tuareg needs more publicity.
@@FULLPELTAdventures people in the know, the people that matter, already know that the Aprilia is top of the pack. But, your review is sterling!
@@davidmallia628 Thanks David, It sure is a great bike. A folding brake lever and better bash plate, are two improvements it needs, otherwise its pretty darn good.
cheap overpriced bike
You haven’t a clue
There is nothing cheap in any Aprilia. Those bikes are entirely built with top shelf components
I disagree, The Tuareg From what I could see, is a good Quality build. The Skid Plate was of a poor standard but otherwise I couldn't fault it. And the price for what you're getting in today's market is O.K.
To me Tenere 700 is way overpriced comparing to this one…
