FUN! AJP PR7 All Day Testride - Basecamp North Event SKOG 2022

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Looks like a blast on this fun day, Mattias. The dealer network is crucial for any manufacturer, if Portugese or Chinese, to make an impact on the market. The AJP is an interesting adv bike for rougher terrain. Günter from Nürnberg/Germany

[@Braapncamp]

Haha You know it, we had a great event. I have been arranging this event for 3 years with a team. Really fun and I have met wonderful fellow advriders out there thru this. AJP has a agent in Sweden and three dealers thru the agent, definitely helps the sales. I really appreciate Your comments Günter 👍

[@johnandersson]

Har velat provköra denna ett tag nu. Verkar som en riktigt rolig hoj för skogsnissar som jag. Tack för videon!

[@Braapncamp]

En riktigt trevlig maskin för just det ☝️😁👌

[@NomadSweden]

Loved this review. Well done Mattias. I am really hungry for this bike. Not as a replacement but as a bike to have fun with on rallies and rougher rides. /Rob

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks Rob! Thats where this bike excels. But on the other hand, following RTW Paul and his rides around the globe several times on the less traveled routes. That gives the idea of this bike to be the match for that too, complete from factory. I missed when he passed Scandinavia last summer, bummer, that would have been cool with an interview. See You Rob 🙌

[@stibbe0413]

Härligt intro med brud på en cykel och dig med en go GT👍😃 Vilka härliga vägar/stigar, perfekta för ändamålet. Bra film Mattias som vanligt. Måste själv försöka hänga på nästa träff.

[@Braapncamp]

Bara att hänga på låset, detta hade du gillat. Bara leenden från öra till öra ☝️😁🙌🍺🍺🍺

Grattis till 8000 subs Mattias!! 😍

[@Braapncamp]

Åhh, tack Tobbe! 👌

[@rideyourbike]

Nice review 👍

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks! It was a great day in the woods ✊🏻😁👌

[@tshansen]

Hahaha, the laugh when you did the first run in the sandpit 🤩 That was genuin.... and yes, for swedish trails like this, the AJP looks like a much better bike than the 690. Mostly because the way it is built and the vision behind the bike. The spec In the end is quite important in a test like this I think. It put's some perspective on stuff... but with that said, doing longer adventures or raid it down to Spain, then we talk about the quality in a larger adv bike 🤣 Great video Tjommi.... damn I wish I was there. So much great video could be made 🔥

[@Braapncamp]

A videomaking paradise Tjommi! Rob @Nomad Sweden did an excellent coverage with his eyes for it. Ofc it all depends on wich routs is chosen for the adventure, that sets the scenes for which tool is best or does it. Looking at RTW Paul and how he travels, this is a ready from factory option for the harder travel routes. Man how tired i got in that sandpit, event if I do physical training every week. I can just imagine how I would have performed withoutvthe training 😂😅 I could not even think clear when doing the conclusion with the timeframei had.

[@chillon2922X]

Thanks for the Video

[@Braapncamp]

My pleasure 🙏

[@jb-lu4vo]

Great motorbike, thanks for the video and take care.

[@Braapncamp]

I had really fun on the AJP, I felt that I need one 😂🙌

[@jb-lu4vo]

They have 125cc, 240cc, and 250cc Supermoto models. You could make a video with one of these models or also make another one in further development of the new 2023 AJP Pr7 model. Thanks.

[@Braapncamp]

Would be awesome to test the new PR7, since thats the one i'm most interested in.

[@MrEtnorb]

What a pity the PR7 never made it. Good power, suspension, lights and tablet display, 50 kg lighter than a T7. Here in Australia, let down by minimal dealerships and some quality niggles. Japan could easily have made this bike and it would be the class leader but absolutely no corporate interest. Stuck with twins, no thanks.

[@Braapncamp]

Good points! It seems like the factory's just want to hold us on the edge of our dreams. No doubt that the can do proper single cylinder bikes with descent power and equipped like the PR7. But they give us the 690 to rebuild, those Honda 250/300's and all the nice pigs we are riding 😂. It's like they like to ignore us or just keep us dream. Engineers probably have the will but then we have the Marketing office... cool bike and I liked it alot. Ready from factory and have the specs we are asking for. Hope AJP keeps on and could afford and prove better customer care than f.ex. our big orange supplier of fun. That wind in the end. Never give up improving and fine tune. This was one of the better days lately 💪🙌 Thanks for joining in DKW. P.S. I have not gave up my idea to give You my framing of visiting the Husqvarna town and museum. Eventually i will get more time on my own which gives me opportunities.

[@MrEtnorb]

@@Braapncamp no worries Mattias re the Husky museum visit. Something to look forward to and will,have appeal to many fans around the world. We will be patient.

[@kallehagstrom-adventuresincl]

Bra recension och riktigt skoj att höra att du gillade den. När det är dags för mig att byta finns denna med bland alternativen. För övrigt trevligt att få återuppleva Skog lite. Fasen vilken fin körning det var!

[@Braapncamp]

Ja sånt här lever man länge på..Det värmer fint i hjärtat att jobbet bakom har gett så många härliga och fina minnen för så många. Hade varit roligt att höra din syn på denna PR7 jämfört med Bimmern! Den är ju fin på typiskt BMW-manér kan jag tro.

For sure something is growing in my mind 😂🙌☝️😁, not decided yet but the bike is fun and has everything you actually need, this in lower weight and good to go! Thank for watching!

[@nesbokaj1]

Great video, the perfect bike for riding in the woods of Sweden. This is the only bike I would swap my 701 with if we are taking real offroad riding!. If I was going "big" it would probably be the Desert X right now 👍

[@Braapncamp]

You are spot on Arne! Great minds alike. This was a fun ride and the bike is complete from factory. You need to come up and have a ride & hang out with me and Ari 🙌 The Husky and Yiu needs to breath 💪❤️

[@nesbokaj1]

@@Braapncamp ❤️🙏🍺

[@petermclennan2416]

Desert x looks great and I'm sure it rides like a dream. But having to remove panels and fuel tank to clean air filter is absolutely ridiculous for a "offroad" bike.

[@nesbokaj1]

@@petermclennan2416 Yes... that's a bummer!.. how that could happen is strange...they really did a good job with the rest!. I never considered the 790 but new 890R with the facelift actually now is a good looking bike as well.. I'll definitely go for a test ride in the spring 👍

[@Braapncamp]

Just order it ☝️😁👀🤣 but for sure the 790 is great value for money, there will probably be plenty of used ones and many habe not seen any hard offroad at all.

[@leevuong8843]

Maintenance intervals is also what defines an adventure motorcycle. Let's compare oil change and valve settings intervals. In my opinion, oil changes shall not be under within 5,000km, and valves to do in no less than 10,000km, or even 20,000km. And that is why Honda's CRF450, which is a great motorcycle, cannot be adapted as an adventure bike because of its 1,000km oil change interval. It needs a larger capacity sump.

[@Braapncamp]

Thats always a matter to consider, to that we need to add if it's fairly easy or hard to do reglar maintenance. Thanks for the input 👌

[@WeckforsDiscovery]

Sålde min 790ADV R och köpte en PR7. Ångrar mig inte en sekund. Grym cykel både på och utanför vägen. 👍🦄

[@Braapncamp]

Härligt att höra en ägarröst. Tack för inspelet. AJP Nordic tog ett par beställ ingår direkt på vårt event. Vilken årsmodell har du? Samma motor som nuvarande? Jag gillade komponenterna på den. Lättkörd. Har du gjort någon mod på den? Sänkt fotpinnar eller höjt styret? Jag hade en grym dag med hojen.

[@WeckforsDiscovery]

@@Braapncamp Hej, köpte en 2022 på Stans i Partille. Ja jag har bytt till samma Bosley som jag hade på 790´n, sänkta och bakåtflyttade.. Original var lite för trånga för mig. Rack och motorblock skydd monterade.. Radiator skydd från AVD ENG ligger i tullen och väntar.

[@Braapncamp]

@@WeckforsDiscovery Bra info, vilken rack köpte du? Vilka väskor kör du med?

[@BillCairns]

Brilliant.. niece to see you on a real man’s bike😂😂😂 Laughing at the sand pit.. I would have tried going up the high gravel just at the side of the Rd😂… All teasing aside., the PR7 is a very underrated bike with good build quality and reliable. If your riding is predominantly rd/pavement then a twin cylinder might be a better purchase, but for the terrain you where riding and even harder enduro it’s a fantastic machine. All the best, keep the videos coming 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks Bill, cool to have You here. You still have Your PR7? Gave up BigBigeEnduro? 👀😂🙌. You have had your a couple of years right? What mods? I had super fun riding it on the all day testride. Great to test it as a sweeper. I had time to get familiar with it with out the full focus to lead the pack for once.

[@BillCairns]

@@Braapncamp On my 2nd PR7 now… Modes: heated grips, altered aluminium sump guard for more exhaust protection, that would be the main alterations and posted a wee video of Modes👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃👌

Awesome Bill. Heated grips are mandatory over here and in Your area as well i vould imagine. What bashplate did you go for? Need to check that video 👌

[@BillCairns]

@@Braapncamp Not a lot of choice for aftermarket bash plates so I got a local fabricator to alter it Full video on my channel 🤩

Why are You on the second one, did you want the upgraded one? New engine? Or just because You are so happy and wanted the latest and greatest? 😂🙌

[@paulmullany7147]

Great review. That looked alot of fun. Do you have an idea of how tall the lady who sat on the bike was? It would help me judge whether my little legs would reach the ground on that bike. It sounded great but Im like you in that I prefer to be as silent as possible in the woods. People tend to just smile and wave when your not making any noise. Cheers Paul

[@Braapncamp]

Hmm, Lady Jonna could be 160 to 165? I'm thinking g more and more of this bike. So nimble and fun to ride.

[@paulmullany7147]

@@Braapncamp Cheers, that helps. She could get her tip toes down and In 175 so I reckon I would manage. They look like great bikes. I just realised I missed the demo day up in Falun yesterday. Hopefully Ill get to one over the summer.

This was a nice inspirational video again Mattias 👍 you know I am not a big fan of "Husbilar" 👎So please only Swedish off-road from now 😇😁

[@Braapncamp]

Haha, I know You hate them! Thanks for beeing back! You are one of the guys i respect most regarding traveling with a single cylinder light weight bike. You know exactly why this bike is on the market. I would love to do all the TST or even interesting parts of the TET on a bike like this. Seems ready from factory.

[@brrraaaapp8502]

Hi Mattias, how did you find the visibility to the "front wheel"? I have the AJP on my shortlist for a new bike, but not to big a fan of the "rallytower". Did you find it is blocking the view?

[@Braapncamp]

Hi, it does lock the view but I'm used to it so I don't bother, for the type of riding i normally do i appreciate the comfort thet the tower givs. It is a fun bike 👌

[@snigeln8376]

@@Braapncamp kan tänka mig det 😀😀

[@thetubelesschannel]

Nice bike and very nice video. If I was going to ride a lot "off road" it would certainly be high on my list. How do you think it would be to ride for many hours on asphalt? Thats a key question for many who do not have terrain to ride legal outside the main door.

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks Sven! It has better windscreen than the 790R so it is more comfortable in that way. It could keep good speed. But enginewise yiu can't compare ofc. But it was not hard or extremely viby either. So it could work.

[@scannorse]

Please note a lot of guys are taking the PR7 on really long rides, both within europe but also globally. Done round the world, South America, across africa, from europe to end of Siberia, from Gibraltar to Cape of North and back, you name it.

[@Braapncamp]

Yes i'm aware of that, if I would go on such trips i probably would take an PR7 over my 790R even if the 790 has been all over the place as well. The simplicity and lower weight appeals. But with that said i easily do several 12-14 hour days in a row on rather rough trails as TST on the 790 since it is really comfortable for that kind of riding. The PR7 is definitely on my mind every day after I tested it 👀😁😂

[@scannorse]

@@Braapncamp Personally i feel the 790 as way too wide, sitting with wide open legs, no freedom of movement aft-front. And the suspension….really not up to the pR7-standard. Yes, as road and some trail bike its fun, great engine, but weight….

[@Braapncamp]

Thats the things that are running thru my head, engine contra the lighter package. If I go with both i know thatvthe 790R will sit in the garage because the PR7 is new and when I ride the 790R i will think, hell this is a machine ☝️😁😂🙌

[@atprodT700]

Hi, the question does not arise for very long. I have just done the TET Portugal myself on a T 700 ténéré and my friend on a 690 enduro. There are very difficult technical passages, strong very steep slopes with rock and large pebbles. Deep rivers with gray pebbles at the bottom. I often leave alone and there I ask myself the question and I have the answer... With a big trail you exhaust yourself over 10 difficult days of Offroad, where the AJP PR7 will pass more easily and will be easier to pick up in case of repeated falls. In addition, this motorcycle is ready as soon as you buy it, unlike a 690 or 701 where you have to change the saddle and mount a Rade garage fork crown or other tank to add. You have the answer, take an order form for this AJP PR7 motorcycle

[@Braapncamp]

You nailed it! This is what i'm thinking. The 790R is sweet, but do i need all that power? It is fun ofc. But the PR7 was really fun too in it's own way, beeing so easy and direct to ride.

[@inrptn]

Looks like a really great bike. I don't know why it's not street legal in the US. I would seriously consider buying it if it was.

[@Braapncamp]

Must be that AJP have not worked thru homologization? Probably expensive for a smaller brand. It is a great adventure bike, perfect out if the box for rougher adventure rides. Hope tveyvger it sorted out 👌

May I ask how tall you are? I'm 188cm and I fear that my legs would feel cramped.

[@Braapncamp]

Hi, I'm 182. The PR7 feel like a shorter bike than the 790R, but it is taller unloaded. A heavy duty spring would help I suppose. It was a fun bike to ride all day but for sure I was more cramped on it compared to my 790R.

It's a great choise Andrew! I liked it alot, it was fun and capable to ride. I could easily see myself travel with it as well. My own 790R was more "roomy" to sit on and ofc more powerful. The power in the PR7 is definitely enough though.

[@andrewsoldan6050]

@@Braapncamp but gearing is OK for highway cruising? some complained about it.

[@Braapncamp]

No it's OK. I think the gearbox has better "width" or range than my 690, that was to tall in first and a tad low on the six'th. It felt like yhe bike cruise well in 120 Km/h. Probably even 130. Nice wind protection. I this video a use the 2-4 gear most, at some 100 to 120 Kmh streches i used the 5th gear.

Sad that it only has 27 hp in Europe cause of Euro 4 regulations. With that power, the crf300l is probably the better deal. You could buy 2 of them for 1 AJP PR7 😅

@@Braapncamp it's not legal (at least in Germany) to ride the Pr7 bike with 50hp cause of the Euro 4 regulations. It comes restricted to 27hp. Yeah, the 300l comes with 27hp as well.
