AJP PR7 650 WALK AROUND REVIEW + RIDE FOOTAGE

[@robertrishel3685]

That thing is a work of art! Just gorgeous!

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Thanks! The PR7 definitely has that timeless style that makes it stand out from the crowd.

[@FredTaft-fr9vw]

Excellent video! That is a big bike to hussle down the trails at Walker. You guys are definitely the premier offroad dealership in the area. Owners that actually ride the product they sell. Keep up the good work 👍

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Thank you for the kind words! We’re passionate about the bikes we sell, and there’s no better way to showcase them than getting out and riding. Walker Valley really puts a bike to the test, and the PR7 handled it like a champ!🔥 We appreciate the support and will keep doing what we love-bringing the best off-road machines to the PNW.

[@EZ_shop]

Great video. You weren't kidding when you said those trails were rough.

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Thanks for watching! We definitely weren’t kidding-those Walker Valley trails are no joke! It was the perfect test to show just how capable the PR7 really is.

[@Motosportz]

Great review on a bike that needs a lot more exposure. I've ridden it in the Idaho back country and LOVE it. I also own a SWM Superdual with the same motor, been super reliable and an overall great do it all bike for me. I've also owned several of the smaller AJP dirt bikes and they are excellent as well. Good times.

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Thanks for sharing your experience! 🤘 The PR7 definitely deserves more exposure, and it’s awesome to hear how much you’ve enjoyed it in the Idaho backcountry-what a perfect place for this bike! 🌄 The SWM is another solid machine with that reliable motor, and it sounds like you’ve had quite the lineup with those smaller AJP dirt bikes too. Great times indeed!

Nice video and magnificent riding skills. The AJP PR7 has had excellent reputation in Europe since years. In Europe you can get it Euro 5 legal street 48 HP so you can matriculate it, insure it and cross without problem any frontier. A lot of owners change a few things to get the original but "illegal" 64 hp, keeping the legal silencer because of the noise. The bikes are made by hand in a small enterprise in Portugal. The engine is the "old" Huqsvarna 610 and 630 made and improved by SWM. Now it's the model 650, but always 600cc. On the PR7 AJP uses an Athena ECU specially made for the bike. The main use is as light but very able adventure bike as the PR7 can make easily 1000 km of highways as well 400 km of difficult trails in Morocco. Many PR7 have been used for travels like France-Pakistan, a total of 40000 km. The bike has now 60000 km, engine never opened. Many have more than 40000 km without any problem. Plenty have more than 20000 km, it's a travel bike... The bike with its first rate suspensions shines in fast hard tracks ,like the Kove 450 Rally, where no medium nor maxi trail can follow it because of its weight and mediocre suspensions, but it's very good also in twisty precarious trails as the suspensions are very good and the engine a true tractor easy to use. In France the PR7 is cheaper than a KTM 690, even more than cheaper as the 690 needs urgently a lot of expensive work on the suspensions and a big tank if you want to use it as travel bike. Except ergonomics there is nothing to do on the PR7. The maintenance is pretty simple old fashioned way, there is none electronics nor complexity needing a computer or special tools. The spares are rather cheap compared to KTM or BMW, SWM makes a 600 cc heavy (196 kg dry) trail with the same engine (but different ECU) sold 6000 Euros in Italy, exactly the same price as the Honda CRFL 300, so you have an idea of the engine cost...

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Wow, thanks for such a detailed and insightful comment! You’ve really captured why the AJP PR7 has gained such a strong reputation, especially in Europe. The combination of its lightweight design, durable engine, and incredible versatility truly makes it stand out in the adventure bike world. It’s fascinating to hear how well it performs in real-world scenarios like long-distance travel and challenging trails-and how it outshines some competitors in terms of cost, reliability, and simplicity. We’re thrilled to see the PR7 making its mark here in the U.S. too, and comments like yours really highlight why this bike is so special. Thanks again for sharing all this valuable info!

Beautiful bike, skilled pilot, Walker Valley: you put it all together Matt. That sure looks like a classic Husqvarna motor in a super competent package. Wishing you success bringing this bike to the PNW. It should appeal to those unhappy with the compromises inherent in 690/701 offerings.

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Thanks so much for the kind words and support! 🙌 You're spot on-the PR7 brings a unique package that really stands out, especially for riders looking for something different from the 690/701 options. That proven motor, paired with excellent handling and capability, makes it a strong contender for the PNW adventure scene. We’re excited to see more riders discover what this bike can do! 🏍️

[@Kelly-oq9nh]

Tempting…Thanks for the video Matt.

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed the video! 😄 The PR7 definitely has that ‘tempting’ effect-it’s hard to resist once you see what it can do!

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Also a great bike choice!

[@rstrakovsky]

Great video, I had a 2006 Husqvarna TE610 for a couple years as my first proper "dual sport" in the end it was too big and heavy for east coast riding, but I always loved that motor, which I think has a direct line to the motor in the PR7. When I rented a Husqy 701 Enduro, I was so impressed by the progression in quality and ease of use compared to the TE610, that it's interesting to hear you say that the PR7 is more capable and easier to ride. Certainly seems like a BDR weapon if nothing else, great riding, whish we had more spots like this on the East Coast!

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Thanks for sharing your experience! 🙌 The TE610 was a great bike, and you're absolutely right-the PR7’s motor has roots tracing back to that legendary design. The progression in rideability and capability over the years really shows, and the PR7 takes it to another level with its balance of power, weight, and comfort. It’s definitely a BDR weapon! 🔥 Hopefully, more riding spots like Walker Valley open up on the East Coast-you’d have a blast out here!

[@mikiahstrouse]

Trails at Walker Valley are no joke! Just goes to show how capable this bike really is!!

Great, thank you for the video

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Glad you liked it!

[@mleibold]

That was a great video Matt. I'm going to have to take a closer look at one of these. Seems like a very capable bike. To think they have a model will Ohlins suspension as well. Sweet.

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words! 🙌 The AJP PR7 is definitely worth a closer look-it’s an incredibly capable bike that surprises a lot of people! And yes, the model with Öhlins suspension takes it to the next level. Sweet is right! 😎

[@pabloricardodetarragon2649]

In my opinion spending 3000€ more for the Ohlins is for the pleasure of having Ohlins written on the bike. The Sachs suspensions are very, truly very good.

[@bendingthetube]

I’ve heard great things about this bike! I want one!

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

That’s awesome to hear! 🙌 The PR7 definitely lives up to the hype. If you’re serious about getting one, let us know-we’d love to help make it happen!

[@mleibold]

Wow, this bike sounds good and powerful.

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Absolutely! The PR7 has a deep, powerful sound to match its performance. 🔥 It’s got plenty of torque and feels right at home on the trails or the open road. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@glennboy66]

You know it’s a light weight adventure bike not an enduro bike? Good to see a what it can do with a skilled rider. Where this fits in is instead of modifying a 690/701, crf450l or ktm500 is a comfortable lite weight adv bike straight out of the box. Suspension is excellent, seat is comfortable, engine is torque monster, gear ratios are great wide range.

[@mleibold]

Yes ofcoarse. Thank you.

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Exactly! You nailed it-this is where the AJP PR7 really shines. It’s a lightweight adventure bike that’s ready to go straight out of the box, without the need for heavy mods. 👌 The combination of excellent suspension, a comfortable seat, and that torquey engine makes it such a unique and capable machine. Glad you enjoyed seeing what it can do with Matt behind the bars!

[@daveknutsen7156]

Currant Pass... one of my favorite trails

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Fantastic trail! Taking the AJP through it really just shows its capabilities!

[@kamax7672]

it's so awesome this bike is finally here. I've been following it for years in Europe. Can we assume it is legal in all states with a dealer network? This has been a quiet rollout. This bike should be a big hit if they do it right.

[@mleibold]

These do not come street legal to the dealer but can easily be converted here in Washington State. We are expecting them to come legal in the next year or two.

[@kamax7672]

@@mleibold thanks for clarifying, much like Kove did. This should be worth the wait

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Thanks for your enthusiasm! We’re just as excited to see the PR7 finally make its way stateside. It is available through a growing dealer network, and while it does not arrive street at the moment, we are expecting them to come street legal within the next coming years. It truly is a unique bike with so much potential to make a big impact!

Yes, AJP bikes, including the PR7, are available in the US, and we’re excited to be a dealer for them! As for California, there are specific regulations, but we’re working to make sure these bikes are available to as many riders as possible.

Great video mate the engine is it a swm/old husqvarna

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Thanks for watching! Great eye-the engine in the PR7 is based on the legendary Husqvarna 610/630 motor, now produced and refined by SWM. It’s a proven, reliable powerplant with plenty of torque, making it perfect for this lightweight adventure bike.

[@fcalin21]

It is a big motorcycle for that kind of travel.

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

The PR7 is definitely on the larger side, but it balances size with impressive agility and capability. It’s built to handle rugged trails while also offering the comfort and range for longer adventures, making it a versatile option for riders who want to do it all.

[@fcalin21]

You reckon this route can be done with a CFmoto 450 ?

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

Great question! The CF Moto 450 is a capable bike in its own right. The terrain at Walker Valley demands a lot from both the bike and rider, so proper setup and experience are key. If you’re considering it, we’d recommend making sure the bike’s suspension and tires are dialed in for off-road conditions. Let us know if you decide to take it on-we’d love to hear how it goes!

[@fcalin21]

@@EverettPowersportsOfficial I am not that good hence the reason for a capable motorcycle.

[@EverettPowersportsOfficial]

For a more inexperienced rider we would recommend trying out this loop on the CF Moto 450 but hitting the more beginner friendly trails at Walker Valley such as Jam Trail, I-5, Kim & Monica's, etc.
