Finally a guy that really rides a bike and gives a good review off road.
👊
“Ride it like you stole it springs to mind” not many owners will test the bike like this good vid shows what it is capable of.
Thanks mate. I just ride it like I'd ride my own bike, minus the proper stupid stuff!
Of all the Tuareg 660 videos I've seen, this one gives the best sense of the bike to the viewer - by far.
Well done, very nice riding too!
Thanks mate. Really enjoyed this bike
Finally, the only reviewer that adjust suspension during the review. well done mate.
Cheers. I changed it lots in the month I had it
@@onthebackwheel We ride naked bikes set preload day 1 of ownership then recheck after 1,000 k’s plus always fine tuning compression & rebound record click settings in a service note book for reference. I see all these over weight reviews complain about suspension on new bikes and do nothing to address that. Don’t get me going on them not doing lever hand & foot adjustments on test bikes it’s like some mystery stuff they know nothing about PMSL.
@@DukeOfTwist it's a mystery sometimes 😂. I set everything to stock the day I get it and do a hit out. I start tweaking it from there, much as you say but generally don't have as long
The best test I've seen so far of the Aprilia Tuareg
Thanks 🙏
This is a way better advertisement for adventure bikes and riding than any video on the big bmw GS I have seen. That looked like a lot of fun.
Thanks mate. Had a ball
1) MADtv should hire you.
2) Your channel has become one of my favorites.
3) I was planning on getting a Gen 3, but with all the rave reviews of the Tuareg, I just might have to save up a bit.
Cheers mate. If you've got the money, it's a MUCH better bike
Now THIS is THE best off-road review of Tuareg that I happen to watch! UFB!
Great job guys 👍
Thanks mate!
Great riding, great review and thanks for not having music
Cheers, need to hear that sweet twin
Fantastic ride and test! I have ridden 9 rallyes on KTM EXC 500 and have always felt a bit sorry for those on big bikes... but you had great fun with this almost 'street" bike (by the looks) riding at pace in tight stuff. Makes me really consider such a bike rather than a 701 for longer offroad and mixed tours. Kudos to you! And yes, no music is perfect! Great bike sound.
Cheers mate. They are bloody capable, same with the 890
I feel sorry for you on the 500! 890R rocks.
@@twowheelpilot Good for you! Riding should be fun !
Zero other reviewers show them crashing, even though they dont have the skill you do offroad. "Big Rig Down" had me LOL'n
Hehe it happens. Crash bars did a good job
Big rock moto showed his crash on it. And T7 is still king, cant bet its reliabilty 🤙
@@11breaper68 I dont know what it is bought that guy, but I stopped watching him. He even rides in my old stomping grounds, i recognize every trail. He just irks me, LOL. And I agree, T7 or KLR depending on how u ride. I wouldnt spend money on the Aprillia or Duc or a KTM for that matter
@@11breaper68 that Yamaha motor is so bloody reliable. Depends what's important to you I spose
@@11breaper68 nope!
Just found your channel. Good to see new, no bs, Aussie content. Subscribed.
Thanks mate. Just tell it how it is 👊
Great video of its off road prowess.You were beating the hell out of it! Best video I've seen testing it off road. You've got a new subscriber!
Thanks mate, glad you liked it!
Wowzers! You can really ride that big bike. Shows what this bike can do with the right rider. Great review.
Thanks mate, loved it
Well, you certainly show how hard this bike can be ridden off-road. I'd wager that is far harder than 90% of ADV riders would dare to attempt. For real-world ADV riding, Dave and Clubby at MADTV and Ian at Big Rock Moto give us mere mortals the goods on what has become a target rich middle weight segment.
Its very capable, loved it. I'm trying to differentiate myself a little from those guys by doing the hard ADV stuff. I'm going to do a proper off-road video like this for every ADV test bike but my reviews are definitely more of a mix. Ian does a good job, seen a few of his videos now
Thanks for the clarification. You're in a category of skilled rider like Adam Reimann and Lyndon Poskitt. Best wishes on your channel.@@onthebackwheel
@@osimnod thanks mate, I wouldn't say I'm quite in their skill category, maybe one day!
Dude, thanks for a great review. Just got my Aprilia Tuareg, and just waiting on the weekend to go out and test it. Cheers from Dominican Republic!
Enjoy mate, great choice
Hola Montantico: por donde estas en RD? Saludos desde PC
Wonderful review!
Best video on real riding condition's...no bullshit talking and no Riding off road... thanks brother enjoy that Aprilia..
Thanks mate 👊
Excellent riding! Nobody takes the bikes where you do.
Thanks, had a blast
I could not paddle my XT250 round the stuff you go blasting through- big respect 👍
Thanks mate. The xt would love it!
Dude, you beat the brakes of that bike!! 🙌💪 Great riding 🎉🎉
Thanks, loved it
Amazing riding mate. Really enjoyed watching you shred those tracks. Not sure I could ride that fast on a DRZ400.
Cheers mate. It's an easy bike to ride quick
What a fantastic day to be riding.
We left Yandina on the Sunshine Coast this morning and rode to the Mapleton Forest, Imbil, Amamoor, Brooyar, Gallangowen, Kandanga and back to Yandina.
An awesome 320km loop.
Thats a hell of a loop mate, I need to explore more up that way
Great riding man. Goes to show how underrated this bike is. U earned a sub
Cheers mate. It's a brilliant bike, keen to own one eventually
You really thrashed that bike like very few people could. I’m impressed with your riding skills. It’s great that the bike survived all that.
It's a fantastic bike, good fun and proved rock solid even with all the riding I put it through
Definitely looks like the sort of terrain where a motor cross bike would be better suited. I’m really surprised where you where able to ride the AT 660. Amazing footage and riding.
Thanks mate. Great bike
Best Review i've seen yet for what i'm wanting to see. GREAT JOB!
Thanks mate. Love the bike. Looking forward to owning one eventually
You have one of the best TH-cam channels with your testing of the bikes. You, MADTV, and a select few others actually give the bikes a workout. That goes way back to your KLX300 review here in the States.
The T-6.6 looks like a great bike for all around goodness, you’ve demo’ed that brilliantly.
I traded the big boy 1290 SA-R for a 2022, 890 Adventure base model last week. Took it up to Gordo, by Big Sur yesterday, then on some one lane roads out of Cambria. I haven’t had this much fun on a bike since my early years on enduros. It fits me.
Knock on wood, I hope reliability isn’t too big of an issue. The Pan Am made me gun shy of all this electronic wizardry… or buffoonery, whichever way a person wants to look at it.
Cheers mate. I don't think you can go wrong with an 890, I'd love one!
@@onthebackwheel so gave it a rain ride today. For me there is plenty of protection from the windscreen and the stock Avons they put on the 22’s.
best offroad review of this bike for sure! great riding and actually showing the bikes capabilities
Ordered a new one in the dakar podium colors, can't wait!
Thanks mate. You'll love it, great choice!
What a ride, man! This bike has a great off-road ability and you know how to ride it.
Cheers!
Great video mate. Been considering one of these as my next bike and your video is one of the best out there for giving an insight into how capable the bike is and where it fits in with the other bikes in this catagory. Great riding as well... thanks
Cheers mate, glad I could help
Curtis great ride mate, to put that big bike through the tracks of GHM ,,100% on you 👏 👍 Goodbye T700 hello Aprilia ❤ and i don't care if it's Italian it's that GOOD 😁🤙
Mate the Tuareg is the pick, they've done a great job
@@onthebackwheel Quick question, why did you buy the Suzuki over the 660? Sorry if you’ve already answered before. On the fence about buying, in the market for a new bike here in the USA. Thanks!
@@chriscleland7008 I did answer it in a video but no worries mate. I bought the Suzuki because I thought it would be good for the channel and I've also already reviewed the Tuareg. The Tuareg is the best ADV bike atm
@@onthebackwheel Great answer, I really appreciate your being so straightforward on that! Kind of like Old Man Speed that bought the Pan Am, got it! Love his channel BTW, fantastic guy.

All the Bells and Whistles on that, center stand is an option. Nice Vid, probably the best on Tuareg I've seen, if only I could ride like you Sir.
Give me one without the centre stand and I'd be a happy man
This need to be a standard in ADV off-road testing. Thanks!
Cheers. I'm going to do it with every ADV bike I test 😈
Great video. Really showed how amazing the bike is.
Got family in the Gold Coast / Brisbane area so after watching your videos I’m looking forward to riding around there on my next visit from USA.

Nice, Craig. Let me know if you come over and we'll go for a ride 👊
Curtis, love the videos mate, please keep them coming. So if you had the choice of the Vstrom or Tuareg which one would you want to live with?
Thanks mate. Definitely the Tuareg. The 800 is a bit better for everyday road riding if you're keen on that
Thanks for sharing and great test report.
Cheers, had a blast
thinking of buying one great review a lot of information witout the BS looking forward to more reviews just subscribed
Thanks mate. Mean bikes these
Very enjoyable and honest review
Glad you liked it
good review Curtis!
Im in the moment of deciding between KTM 790; Tenere T7; Aprilia Tuareg 660.
They all have the same price in my region - is there a no brainer if the prices are the same?
Cheers mate. If they are all the same you can cancel out the Tenere. Over the 660 and Adventure R I'd lean towards the Tuareg. If the 890 is the same that complicates things!
As long as it rides, overheating issues, leaking oil, electrical problems...seen many films with these issues
The spec on this thing, 80hp 180 dry nice.
It's a good thing
I think it is pointless to announce dry weight. Honda never does it and everybody says their bikes are heavy. Oil, coolant, brake fluid, fork fluids, and fuel. Centerstand, luggage racks, bigger windscreen. Then add proper bashplate etc. Moto Guzzi V85 TT is 229kg wet. This Aprilia with same amount of fuel weights EXACTLY 229kg. Light? Heavy? I weight 100kg, so I would start to save weight there first, then maybe think, if the bike is heavy or not.
For example, Tenere T700 is almost impossible to raise up, when it falls. Much, much harder than 1250GS, which weights 280kg wet. Why, because that Tenere is so out of balance bike. It has its weight high. Very high. I think Tenere 700 has the highest center point of gravity, on any bike there is. Many have sold it just because it is so freakishly hard to pull up. There were even a mention in one group review, where one of the six riders was strong enough to lift that bike up. All six riders got 1250GS up easily -says something.
Ps. Moto Guzzi V85 TT has proper 6 gallon fuel tank. It adds 10kg weight to it alone. But on the other hand, it is air-cooled, so without radiator(s), hoses and coolant it has proper sturdy chassis/frame compared to almost any other motorcycles in the segment. Uh...it has the strongest frame, now when thinking harder.
@@j_moonchild The Aprilia 660 is 150lbs lighter than my GS too, with a frame that can support 460lbs excluding the tank so no complaints there in real terms, overall its concept was to blend offroad with adventure design being no easy task which appears was a success. Its apparently very comfortable for long hauls (with custom seat) & provides a light weight perception of a trail bike off road which pricks my curiosity. It has 1'' more travel & 1'' lower seat than the Tenere & a reasonable range of over 200 miles with 4.8-gallon tank and 50mpg average.
I have the Tuareg and watching it being trashed like this makes me feel even better about my bike
Good choice mate
Great review and you are certainly a very good rider. I saw you brought the revs quite high at that technical uphill. How is the torque at low RPM? Merry Christmas and have a good one!
It's got a very flat torque curve, hard to fault. I did find I stalled it a couple of times down low in the tight stuff so I was compensating with higher revs. I'll do a couple of more off road rides to get a better feel for it
I have a 790 adv S but it seems that the tuareg is better on several aspects. The only advantage of the KTM is weight distribution, far lower with tank than the tuareg. For the difference in price, you can buy an AXP bash plate (french !) and a full exhaust ligne from Dominator for exemple, and you have probably the best adventure bike !!! and I love this color. I am seriously thinking replacing my 790 for this one... the only drawback is the height, it seems very tall !
The seat height is very manageable. Best adv bike ATM I think
Where do you draw the line between an adventure bike and an enduro bike ? Whilst you are riding it (well !) like an enduro is this its real role in the two wheel world ?
This is definitely an adventure bike. Once you get over 140 kg I think your enduro rights are revoked. It is good to see what something is capable of though
Really enjoyed watching the video! What's the app you use on your phone for tracks?
Thanks timbo. I use Gaia
Taken to the limit, beyond and back, well done Curtis.
Would it be possible for Aprilia to add a kind of low rev assist to the engine maps?
Thanks mate. Anything is possible, only Suzuki seems to do it though (and I still stall that too!)
This is a good off-road review of the Tuareg. It shows how the bike reacts to different situations of riding off-road. Thank you!
No worries, glad you enjoyed it
Great video, great bike. But how bloody good is that trusty old DR still smashing it!!
Peter gives that DR hell!
Amazing great ride woowww❤

Thanks!
thank you four this video
No worries
Not sure if they are available where you live, but try to get the SW Motech Bash Plate for the Tuareg.
I just installed one on my Tuareg a few weeks ago and it is solid as a rock.
Good to know mate. This was just a review bike so didn't have a chance to mod it unfortunately
I am about to get either the T7 world raid or the tuareg 600. I cant decide mostly because i haven't ridden them for a long period. Just tryied them for a short time. I feel more comfortable with tuareg. Do you think the T7 world raid is more capable overall?
Honestly, I haven't tried the world raid. I do like all the updates they've done except the big tanks. I've got no interest in them so I'd probably lean towards the Aprilia still
Thanks for the test as most are a few dirt tracks an roads. Do you think 2 clicks on suspension would be better or, leave as is???
Have you found any problems with the air induction, or ( lag)???
I didn’t see any.
What leg length are you as I’m 5”8’ an around 115-9kgs.
I’ve got a 28” inseam. Tried the T7 an way too tall for me, hence thinkin of the Twigg as us Poms call it.
Great show, keep um commin.
Hey mate. 2 clicks was pretty good from memory. I'm 6 foot but this bike is suitable for guys your height, really manageable
merci super video
god that bike is beautiful
Id like to know how tall the rider is., i just got into motorcycles and im seeing that seat heigh is one of my bigger limitations however i like how the tuareg is just a bit lower than the tenere and a bit lighter, was thinking it would be a nice bike after a few years of experience on the drz...i'm not gonna push it nearly as hard as he does since il be riding alone most of the time
Hi. You're right, great bike. I'm 6ft, it is very easy to touch on though
Aprilia Tuareg is the best.
Hi, i’ve a 660 Tuareg. May I ask you how do you adjust the suspension for Offroad riding ? Thanks
Hi. I found the standard sertings to be pretty close. A couple turns into the rear pre-load really helped
@@onthebackwheel Hi, Thanks a lot. I’ll do that to test it 👍
You are an Exception rider. Incredible speed on such a heavy non enduro bike. What do you think in comparison to a ktm 790/890? In terms of solid feeling, ability to track straight and not get diverted or knocked off line? Thoughts would be very welcome. Thanks
Thanks. It tracks straight, very impressed with the handling. I think it pips the 790, 890... initial thoughts are it's on par but would really need to ride them back to back
Tuareg V De-800. value for money, long haul, in the dirt, & on road. your thoughts please....
Tuareg for sure. Better suspension, more fun on the road and a fair bit better off it. The V-Strom is really good value though, especially if you do a bit more road riding and easier dirt
Please man tell me the main diference with T7 and Tuareg for sitting position only ,cause all others i know it.
I mean ,i rode one T7 3 days ago and i find myself that bent front just a bit ,im 1.85cm and 110 kilos.
I had 4 years xt660z and was a traktor, but i had straight sitting position, and i was very huppy with the seat.
At t7 i havent straight sitting position and isnt comfortable too..
I thing that handlebar from t7 is kind of far from seat and for that reason maybe i had to bent front a bit.
At Tuareg handlebar is closer at seat than T7???
I cant ride Tuareg at the place i stay for a moment and im going to buy a new moto soon ,so , i consider your advice
I found the riding position very neutral and loved it. I'm 1.83m so a similar height to you
If Aprilia launched this in India, I'd buy it on day 1. The 650cc segment is severely lacking. I wouldn't call the Versus 650, Vstrom, Tiger 660 as true ADVs. The Tuareg will be awesome if priced similar to the others.
It is definitely a step up from them. Hopefully with Aprilia getting more popular in India they will
If you had to pick one bike for 60/40 off-road use, in all terrains, what would you pick: Tuareg, KTM 690, or KTM 500 EXC-F?
For this riding? Tuareg. I rode that sucker there and back, cruise control home and then to work the next day. Ideal world, something like the Tuareg and a 350 or equivalent
well done mate
Cheers!
i'm am about to buy mid range adv bike and tuareg seems like really good bike but i absolutely hate the looks of the top there.
I think the other colors look much better, but it's still an 'acquired' taste
How does this compare to the Africa Twin 1100 ?
I'm yet to ride the Africa Twin (I will be soon). But I can gaurantee the Tenere is better off road and more fun on it. Africa twin will be a better tourer though for sure
I am looking for a cheap bike to have fun on such mountain roads in sydney. which one do you recommend?
Hey mate. Second hand or new? Guessing you mean road too?
@@onthebackwheel i want to buy second hand and i ll use for road too
@@mevlutcetinkaya5448 cool. Happy to help out! If you can give me a price I can give some recommendations through here or send me an email at onthebackwheel36@gmail.com
Little power..the engine is not so READY in the low part of rpm
Agree, stalls a little easy. Hopefully some map updates have helped since the vid
I don't know, how can you possibly suggest there is a best ADV bike, in the pile of ADV bikes, mid sized or not. Seems like we are in the world of the spoiled. The modern age provides so many quality bikes, some depend on which part of the world you live in. Some depend on your strength as a human, not to mention if you are a beginner (which appears to be most ADV riders these days) or veteran expert offroad rider etc. Too many variables, apples to oranges comparison often. The fact that some of these 660's are known to leak oil, when new....so as far as being the best....that seems a tad absurd considering the options today. In the 70's and 80's ya...there were bests in a class of 4 options.....those days are gone...it appears they are all good. Spoiled riders flipping from bike to bike chasing the dragon
We are spoilt for choice ATM
Did he just say, “Oi! She’s moist?” 😏
What exactly does that mean in Aussie?
Depends what you want it to mean 😉😂
How tall are you?
6ft/183cm
Came to watch bcoz its reminds of my T6..same engine if im not wrong
Yep same engine, lots of fun that motor
Nope... each manufacturer makes their own engine. Just bought tuareg 660... study up on it
@@rustyupton168 I believe he means the Tuono 660, which is the same motor
Too much tech. Same with the beautiful Ducati. Give me Tenere.
I'd prefer nothing, but surprisingly the electronics are pretty good on this. I still turn them all off on the dirt on!
@@onthebackwheel what happens when you turn it off? Does the dash light up with blinking lights? I just watched a new transalp try to cross a stream. The dash lit up with several yellow lights. The engine cut power and the machine nearly got stuck before it made it across. Embarrassing.
@@tritiumglo4699 nah no issues. You can turn traction control and everything off pretty easy
No.
no, it's not
It's up there for the size. KTM 890 competes but I prefer the Tuareg
maybe it is the best but it holds 1. place of the ugliest of them all ( toghether with KTM 790 of course).
Yeah, not a big fan of the looks in this colour
Great bit of riding! Probably the best demonstration of what this bike can actually do and how hard you can push it.
Cheers. Felt like I gave it a good run. Had a blast doing it too
Well said that exactly what i was about to say
I agree. Haven’t seen anyone push it that hard. Well done 🤘🏼
Your a great rider! I have this same bike (same color) and in this terrain with the bikes you were riding with I would have taken my beta 500rr-s. You showed a lot of the true capability of this bike, I cant wait to see your full review down the road. Great Job!!!
Thanks Robert. The Tuareg is a beast!
Roll it back into the dealer caked in shit - ‘thanks mate… I’ll think about it” 😂
Hahaha 🤣
Curtis , I think your skills took the bike places Aprilia never dreamed of when they built it. Amazing what you were able to do with it!
Cheers mate, it's a very capable bike
Great review, the best off-road ride video yet. Skillfull, strong rider, challening trails. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are a top rider and a great reviewer
Subbed
Love ya work
Thanks mate, much appreciated
Your a legend mate, videos getting better every time 💪💪
Thanks mate 👊
Cool test and nice trails. Wish I had that in my backyard to ride on 😄 Front unfortunately has the shimplate issue on presumably all bikes. It get's even better when it's fixed. I have a video about it.
Cheers. What's the shim plate issue?
@@onthebackwheelDamaged shim stack in front forks (from factory)
@@daveo9844 ok good to know. Was it a recall fix?
@@onthebackwheel Case by case I believe. Just about to buy one after watching you ride it 😎🍻
@@daveo9844 nice mate. I'm going to buy one eventually, just when the funds permit. Absolutely loved it
I would have liked to hear a little bit more about how it compares to the t7. The author of the video says pretty plainly that he believes the tuareg is better but he doesn't explain why. The availability of dealers and parts for the Japanese bike is a big appeal for me.
Have a look at my playlist on the bike, I go into further detail and also do a q&a directly answering this. Short version, much better handling/balance and suspension
Enormous fun watching this :D Proof that the Tuareg is a real contender. It was a surprise to me.
Great bike
This is my first time watching your videos, for sure I hit subscribe! Very impressive riding, handling a heavy bike so well in that difficult terrain. Well done! I just bought one of these yesterday, get to take it home in a day or two. I have been on a KLR for the last 6 years, and it is set up about as well as a KLR can be, including suspension. I just felt like I was wanting more at times than the KLR wanted to give and this seems like a natural next step for me as just a mediocre older rider but wanting a little more. Now I just need to put in time and work on skills
Thanks mate. Enjoy the Tuareg, I loved it. It is a big step up from the KLR in every way and a ton of fun
I class this as a hard ride, best review at the hard end of it all IMHO, good job! you could make a niche out of it like Ian did dropping every bike he tested on it's side. Amazing how well it scrubbed up after the thrashing too, I expected more scratches and carnage tbh. That phone mount certainly hung on as well, better than poo to a Salvation Army blanket! my phone (riding a super tenere, no where near as hard) detached and shot up my nose under much less duress...
Haha thanks mate. And yep, I'm going to be doing this with every adventure bike I get. Shit to a Salvation Army blanket I'll remember that!
Been enjoying finding your channel and videos. Sorry about the back wheel in the KLR. Wondering how far are you from all these great trails?
I can be half an hour and I'm on the dirt at daguilar forest. This particular trail is 1 hour
@@onthebackwheel Sounds amazing. Only place I’ve been is Puckapunyal, north of Melbourne. Bunch of bush around there. That riding looks amazing. Keep up the great work and loving the videos.👍
@@nsanerydah cheers mate. Got some good riding around here for sure!
Soooo good. Best video to date!
Thanks mate!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate 👊
Haha, allt of laughs and fun in this video. Now we are talking testride. Love the trail you are riding. Seems like a great ADV bike, I friend got one and seems happy with it. What baseplate did you opt for?
It was a blast, loved it. This is Aprilias bike so unfortunately I have to give it back, so won't be getting a bash plate for it. I did look and there are some good ones out there though
Loves this video thanks😍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great work Curtis! Hope your channel continues to grow as you have excellent info and great on-bike footage.
Thanks Brendan!
You’ve got mad riding skills. Great video. Hopefully the Tuareg 660 is my next bike and I won’t be doing anything close to this type of riding.
Cheers mate. It's top bike
I love your riding ability, and I could never go that fast without crashing, although I am good on a mountain bike!! This macine is top drawer, I am compiling a list of costs as we speak, between a Desert X, Toureg, and Tenere 700.
Thank you so very much for this amazing video of an amazing rider on an amazing bike! Simply Amazing....all right eough now!!!
Thanks mate! Which one are you leaning towards?
@@onthebackwheel I think the tenere, it's a lot cheaper to buy and run!
@@sanatandharma4435 oh, depends where you are from. It is $20000 vs $22000 here, not much of a difference
Fantastic to see an actual hard core off road shitfight on this bike. Hard core rider mate and answered an important question for me. Thanks!
Nice mate, glad I could help out
great video!!! thanks. What setting did you use for suspension?
I added some preload to the rear and some compression/rebound into the front. Was pretty good then
Great riding skills! Good honest review, thankyou. I have a KLR, it's been to Birdsville, Ayers Rock, Winton, Longreach, never let me down, it's the bomb.
Cheers mate. The KLR gets the job done for sure!
One of the Very Best Test ride reviews ever. You actually ride the motorcycle as you really would , well your still being careful but you did better than any of the others because your Honest and so was your ride with your friends. Keep up the excellent work ! 👍🏍
Thanks mate!
