I wanted this bike for so long. At least so long as it exsists. Rode with someone who has one about 2 years ago. No way my 6'8" extremely non-average-bear will even fit this bike with whatever mods. It felt kinda tiny? But it was a great bike and i've recommended it to many just because it's good everywhere and 'enough'.

Күн бұрын
I've been owning this bike for 13 months now, done 7500km (about 5000 offroad) including 2x week long trips. Let me say a couple of words about what met my expectations and what didn't. Mine is standard version, no power-up kit. Same rear tire as in the video, similar front one. Okay, let me start from the disapointments: RELIABILITY and parts quality. I wish I could make this bold here. So far the bike has been towed to the AJP "dealership" twice. Barely came home on its own 3 times. One injector changed (warranty claim pending), one "free" dealership repair, aftermarket fuel pump (not as an upgrade but as a must to keep the bike working). I've had fuel issues since the bike was 5 months old. Injector died, fuel pump died. My country has good fuel quality as far as I know. Exhaust is very disappointing. Sounds like a chinese 4t 125 moped. Ridiculous. Pipes become rusty instantly. I really mean instantly, after first ride. I'm sure it was developed and tested by a tall rider. This is not my case, I'm rather short/mid.Gear lever is ridiculous not only by its positioning for very large feet but also by its design very prone to damage (length being one of them). Steering angle is indeed pathetic. However, my bike came with adjustment screws pretty wide open so that I nearly crashed when riding first couple of meters. After adjusting them to max possible angle it is bearable but could be better. A lot of parts is not accessible outside AJP factory and this lot is full of parts you're very likely to break (e.g. gear and both brake leves, mirrors ). Now why I love this bike: HANDLING is as good as promised. PR7 is a dream in that matter, I believe. This really feels like a 350 enduro, yet has very adventure-friendly features. Very offroad capable, I can feel it's gonna take long time for me to be able to ride 100% juice out of this bike. The tablet is slow but once warmed up becomes ok for the nav. Browsing apps, internet is possible but not comfortable. Pre-installed and lifetime paid DMD2 app is spectacular! Outstanding compared other apps I've tried. Direct answer to dual sport riders' needs. Seat is comfy, I've once done 8 hours net of asphalt riding one day and felt no pain the next day. Even in standard version power is sufficient. I wish low throttle control was better but maybe this is what single cyl engines do. Take the power up kit. It is expensive but a must, solving 2 major problems. Summing it up, it's a bike with design focus massively aimed at rider, not engineer which has pros and cons.
@samulis8275

Low throttle problem tends to be emissions. 701 Husky I'ved ridden alot became like a new bike with PowerCommander and good tune. Gone are the annoying traits of dying when slowing down for stop and coughing on low rpm's, Just smooth and easy low/midrange. Also the ON/OFF throttle jerkines was taken care and works more like a carb.

The DMD2 is a joy, mine goes with me on every bike i have. There is one very important point to make about the DMD2, the support, if you join the DMD2 user groups on the Web or Facebook and report an issue, the very developers are there on these groups and more often than not, a fix is out quicker than a shake of a lamb's' tail. If you don't ride the AJP, don't worry, the DMD2 is available to buy in two formats, the tablet or phone sizes and if you have your own Android device, you can install the software on to that, so you don't even need to buy the hardware, having said that I'd always recommend the hardwere route as it's a tough bit of kit. As you might have guessed, I'm a big fanboy of the DMD2 and I've used all of the other GPS platforms.

I have owned my 21 plate PR7 for nearly 2 years, and these bikes are not as reliable as you say! You should check the owners group pages for more info. The crank cases are made of cheese, and sadly quite a few of us owners have had them crack, and AJP wants nothing to do with it! The mapping on these bikes has taken a very long time to get right and I still have flame out issues on mine!, and that's with the very latest map! I f'ing love this bike for how it feels and how it handles but it is far from a bike I would trust to take on long travels (Which is why I wanted it in the first place!)

I think this is likely always going to be a problem. I'm intrigued as to the problems with the mapping? The one I rode was rock solid. It's very 2014, but it wasn't a problem. What's happened with the Crank Cases? When I mentioned reliability, I was talking about he original design of the Husky motor, not specifically this engine.
@dirtjunkie77

@@BrakeMagazine The crank case issue seems to be related to the head bolts being overtightned at factory. it's not 100% confirmed at this point as the owners are still trying to work it out, I do know it cost the last onwer 1100 euros to fix the issue himself. I feel that since SWM tock over the factory in Italy, standards have dropped and they just don't care! As for the mapping, my flame out issue seems to be very rare, which for most owners is a good thing, but personally I am very frustrated and just want to ride the bike without worring all the time.

Did you check the service intervalls? Crazy! The engine needs a service every 5000km including valve check, the rest of the bike is at 3000km intervalls. AJP wants all these services to be performed by an authorized workshop. So they expect you to be at the workshop at 1000, 3000, 5000, 6000, 9000, 10.000, 12.000, 15.000, 18.000 and finally at 20.000 (if you do as the manual claims) when the complete valve drive needs an overhaul (including timing chain). Wtf??? There won't be time left to ride that thing! Now imagine the trip I did this year: three weeks, 7000km, from Stockholm to Albania and back. Three services required. No thanks. Quote from manual: "It is owner’s responsibility to assure that the motorcycle is serviced within the periodic maintenance schedule, in an authorized dealer workshop (preferably at the dealership where the vehicle was purchased). AJP does not take responsibility for any damage if maintenance was not performed as recommended schedule, which can lead to lose the warranty."

They used to be a screaming deal, like $10K in the US. Those days are gone. I had one, briefly. I didn't gel with it at all. Not the right bike for ME. Where I live, where I ride, how I ride, etc. It was my dream bike, guess i'm not living the dream life though. It found a better home, better trails, better rider. Win win. I do think you need to have a dealer close by, even if it's older technology and 'easy' to wrench on, having a new bike with a warranty doesn't help if there's not a dealer around. I still consider getting one of their smaller bikes just to ride some dirt. They aren't cheap anymore, but good value for the money.

One significant difference between the gold edition and the regular one: the standard clutch lever is a Magura unit, where the gold edition is Brembo. The Brembo is SIGNIFICANTLY lighter and easier to use. Officially the seat height is higher than the KTM690 but you actually get to the ground a lot easier on the PR7. I regret choosing the KTM because although it is technically quicker than the pr7 it takes more money to deck it out for touring

Accurate. Having ridden an AJP PR7 quite abit, and having had to tow one 120km behind another husky amid an 8000km dirt trip through Aus, any comparisons between it and heavy, slow, limited travel turds like the 390 adv, himalayan and CF450 is disrepectful to the PR7. The PR7 is a serious bike capable of serious speed and punishment off road safely. Now admittedly we had one blow a head gasket 120km from the nearest town amid said trip but I'd expect it was operator error post a lazy coolant flush & change amid trip frankly, I also saw this same owner abuse, overload and crash this same PR7 over 20 times, some at decent pace too (multiple sets of bent bars etc.) and I even got it through some hard enduro style terrain when I dragged the same mate threw some tracks I take my Beta on. I would actually own a PR7 as an only bike and ride the pants off it anywhere, given what abuse and neglect I saw that bike take (not his though it's flogged). Frankly if you're the kind of person worried about dealer support and services/maintnenance being done for you - this bike and lumping it in with the likes of a drz400, ktm 390, cf450 himilayan & other random bikes you can ride on the dirt is probably a fair concern - this bike in my view is aimed more at owners that have the skills/experience to strip any dirtbike/anywhere, would never trust a dealer touching a bike their ride at pace and remotely and are looking for the performance of a rally/heavy enduro bike with the durability closer to touring adventure bikes. Brilliant machine even if I did hate the sight of one after having it tied to my footpegg for 120km back to Arkaroola :P

A great concept. It rides nice because it's got Ohlins from OEM but it lacks any real parts or dealer support in larger markets and it's far too expensive for what it is. Drop the tablet in favor of a basic bitch digital dash, swap out the Ohlin's for conventional Showa 49 forks, knock the MSRP down to no more than $7k with an out-the-door less than $8, offer the tablet and Ohlins suspension as a premium add-on package or as a special edition and I don't think they'd be able to make enough of them. However even then my choice for 'we have rally bike at home' role would still be a 2019-2023 (pre-TFT display) Tenere 700 with a 100% aftermarket suspension solution.

Same issue for me. I ended up with a KTM690 instead which I am very happy with. However I have indeed spent more “adventurising” it.

Why was the ABS so important? The ABS on the 690 is pretty poor and useless off road.

I've been riding for over 40 years, if you can't ride without ABS i suggest learning to ride better...

I wish honda would bring back the mighty XR650R with a 6 speed gearbox and the option to have electric start with a kick start and I'd retire my yam tt600r belgarda adv bike and retire my xr650r supermoto bike and put them on plinths in the garage 😂 regarding that bike you are riding, it's a big no from me . Unreliable tat !

This is what I’m trying to turn my xrr into. Uncorked it actually has a pretty low first and have got it to 96mph. The taller I go with the gears it won’t push past wind resistance. If I geared down maybe a couple more teeth I might be able to get 100mph and have a fairly slow torquey 1st. Wish it was new production though!

Cheeky .. I thought I recognized the River. Riding around the Algarve pretending it's the wilderness. Never more than 5mins from a Hotel and Golf Course Joking apart some epic trails around here

Mark, you work in tv sell adverts to pay your bills. I work on KZitem and this is how I pay my bills. I’m sure you can skip the 1 minute of adverts so I can pay mine to give you a free video. ☺️

@@BrakeMagazineI understand that you need to pay your bills but please keep it bike related. Luggage, gear, parts, training etc are all relevant but cameras aren’t. Are you going to be integrating dog food next because that’s what the guard dog eats? Please don’t cheapen yourself by promoting every product offered to you, keep the standard high.

I get that it might not be relevant to you specifically but this partnership was chosen carefully. An action camera with Moto specific or friendly features is pretty relevant. We’re not advertising the new Sony or Canon mirrorless, or a drone or random Chinese brand lights. We choose who we work with very specifically. Otherwise we would’ve been 20 surfshark and Nord VPN ads deep at this point. I actively turn those away for this reason.
