I FINALLY GOT A NEW PERSONAL MOTORCYCLE! Aprilia Tuareg 660

[@rezangyal]

Finally embracing the adv dad lifestyle

[@jonpeters5194]

this was predicted a few years ago. how long before the R9 is purchased?

[@kentalanlee]

One day, you're a newbie squidlet, and before you know it, you're a wizened Yammie Dad, thinking about which bike to get for squidlets of your own. Brings a tear to my eye...

[@robo1000]

Holy crap, aprilia just wow a ton of good will with this one. Talk about a move “here yammie, have one on us.”

[@SkintSNIPER262]

Their reliability track record says otherwise

[@francescoporcari8597]

​@@SkintSNIPER262 do you know any major problem with this bike?

[@McTwistedTwisties]

it's the only one given away or sold in the US in the past 6 months probably 😂 poor Aprilia

[@House_of_Zodd]

Officially the first episode of Adventurenoob

[@philljames6802]

I've owned the 24 Tuareg for last 6 months. Best bike purchase so far. Ridden it from Greece to Sweden and Back. Through Swiss and Italian alps... Amazing for touring and in the twisties for an ADV bike. And a great daily commuter. The induction sounds sums up the ride expeirence. SMiles all day....Enjoy Yammie

[@stockstunna]

How far can you lean it before pegs scrape?

[@monsterboomer8051]

This is the best Tuareg 660 color scheme. Looks great.

[@francescoporcari8597]

Isn't call dakar podium?

I've loved the Tuareg 660 since it came out. And by this video, The sound is pure enjoyment. So cool that Aprilia put a proper exhaust on it.

[@StirCrazyB]

Love the idea hate the look of adv bikes. Looks like a lot of fun though.Enjoy Yammie!

[@dygon7663]

I got one of these a couple months ago as my first bike! It's brilliant!

[@edduadv]

Once you start adv/touring, you will never stop. Welcome to the world of adventure riding. I have a 790 advR, I agree the toureg is an awesome pick

[@deepakbisht9025]

It's Happening Guys, He's Turning To The ADV Side..... Happy For You Man 🥰🥰🥰

[@markchalloner5883]

I'd get one of these over my T7, but my closest Yamaha dealer is 3 mes away, and the closest Aprilia dealer is 300 miles away! Nice bike. Go ride some BDRs!

[@nemerkha]

between the Tuareg and the 890 adv R, i went with the Tenere world raid. 2 years and 20000 miles = zero issues. Reliability was my top priority.

[@cjdaking]

These are really fun bikes. A little down on power for long highway stretches, but it’s surprisingly nimble and loves the dirt. Soft panniers and a hard top box is the trick for long hauls. Felt like a big, comfy dirt bike with road manners.

[@nikko8650]

Yammie noob BDR run? I would love to see a film like that, a sports rider does a BDR

[@williamnewkirk6316]

Congratulations on your new Vollswagen!

[@RegularNormalMF]

Man that's awesome, finally getting hooked up i been watching you for years and being that we are neighboring cities I always hope to run into you when i ride to Austin. 🙏 good for you brother!

[@snowmanii]

Talking about your master cylinder reminded me Can you do a video on bleeding brakes/replacing brake lines/replacing master cylinders on motorcycles? Not many people have well done videos on these things and i like your videography. Thank Yams

[@James-nc2ed]

Great bike. I've put 15k hard miles on a 2022.

[@ambrechambers7094]

Next the touring seat, hard panniers and top box for complete dad mode!

[@FrankLeblanc]

So you finally seen the light and the "whys" of ADV! :) Very nice ride, congrats!

[@joetheagent]

Seems like a really cool bike and Aprilia hooking it up big time. I agree about middle weight ADV bikes being the best "all rounder" on the market. They do a bit of everything well enough while also not being the best at any one thing.... but it is 70 or 80% of what the best thing would be and it does all the other stuff at that level too. And you can choose different tire setups to do different types of rides. I see why the ADV space pulls a lot of riders in after they get over their "need" for an R1 or a Turbo Busa. It will be cool to see what you do with this thing.

[@cg469]

Hey Yam, please don’t do hard case, on top of unnecessary weight it’s a quick ticket to twist your sub frame in a crash, go with soft bags, they are larger for lighter weight and function as a big crash pads too

[@RoryBlanckenberg]

The brakes are supposed to be slow to bite on a bike for the dirt. it saves you washing the front when you panic.

[@itzikca]

Congrats on the new free bike ❤ you deserve it

[@wildmanjeff42]

reminds me of the 1980s when I had a Suzuki SP250. Now, after 35 years without a bike, I got a 2023 Hayabusa. miss that old bike, wish I had one like it today

[@Mericanu]

Congrats that’s a nice bike, my first street bike was Aprilia futura before I moved to USA, I would like to get another Aprilia again one day enjoy be safe and you deserve it 🥂👍🏼💪🏼

[@Old_Toby]

Consider a hydraulic clutch and a tune? You can leave all the stock stuff on it and still get better performance with a tune. The hydraulic clutch will be excellent for off-roading.

[@vivir_en_ruedas]

Congratulations🎉

[@pepcooper]

I guess we're switching from "Papa YAM" to "Papino"... Not going for the T7 was an unexpected move lol. You'll be soooo happy on an adv bike, congrats!

[@joshmahurin9166]

So excited for yam

[@blondiejoe]

It is maybe a Dad bike, but it is pretty good looking. I think middle weight ADVs in general are looking a lot better now with companies actually putting a bit into the design. They're not all monstrosities like they once were. I'm looking at you, v-strom.

[@closedcasketcustoms]

Great choice man. A very overlooked bike for some reason. With the way KTM is going, I just look right past them now. This is what I'm looking at getting next too. I rode one last month and after debating on this or the Tenere 700, I felt like the 660 was just the better of the 2 for my intentions. So, selling off some of my herd and picking one up this winter. Looking forward to more of your thoughts on it and what mods you have in store for it.

[@doc666rossi]

Supermoto the shit out of the Desert Sled!! Make it bare bones with 17’ inch road tires

[@MotoGosu]

Congrats yams! Hope to see you at the creek some day again

[@andrewbecker3700]

It sounds like my '73 Honda SL100. If I remember correctly, the compression ratio on it was 10.25 to 1. Which gave it a little more bark than most of the other Honda singles at the time. Very efficient little engine. Poopa Yam is gonna soup it up, is he? I predict a short period of ownership for this machine. Doesn't look bad. But why ride a ticking time bomb? I'd get some fully synthetic oil in it ASAP. And change it often. High pressure radiator cap never hurts. Set the sag, and make sure the chassis is greased thoroughly. Not sure what kind of chain and sprockets it comes with? I'd venture it's junk. New don't mean bulletproof. I'd be going over everything with a fine tooth comb. It's gonna have some questionable parts and pieces. Sort that thing, and enjoy it while it's able. Peace!

[@AaronClark-xr3rs]

lol!! Hearing you come to grips with your dadness.. so good!

[@lhurst9550]

5:00 One values something exactly what they have in it.

[@joshmahurin9166]

ALWAYS NICE WATCHING YAM OUT THE OFFICE

[@mala7794]

I own a tuono 660 factory and everytime i go on a ride and pass a gravel road. im always telling myself i shouldve also bought a tuareg

[@adambutler409]

Ha, I have the Tuono 660 Factory and a Tuareg. Love them both, but the Tuareg is definitely my favorite...

[@markchalloner5883]

Big Bend BDR-X is being released later this month. Right in your back yard! Perfect for a nice 3 to 4 day ADV ride.

[@1000CC_Mandra]

A Free Bike Nice!!, Congrats Aprilia make very nice Bikes these days. Will it be AprilaNoob from now on 🤣🤣

[@glennwr450]

What’s break in 😂 excellent

[@darshanshivaswamy8977]

You did say that you won’t be doing off-road riding as you won’t enjoy it. I thought you will be upgrading to MT-09 SP 2024 model. Anyways Congratulations 🎉

[@chadpowell595]

The new BDR X is released on Oct 26…. Its big bend. Should be perfect for a November ride.

[@PatrikMT07]

Yammie didn't just become dad. He became ADV dad.

[@GregLanz]

It's supposed to be a great bike. I'm looking forward to the long term reviews after 10K miles or so

[@mrmbr]

Not sure which I am happier with.. The noob picking up an Aprilla 660 or the fact that he won't diss on me for wanting to ride/tour/explore and camp with panniers

[@Mainforce66]

nice bike, congrats man! It has a robot type face, even the indicators look like ears, see min 24.20 ish

[@theciaweeb3078]

He has embraced the adv life once again

[@dans2971]

Nice. Looks a great machine. Well past my strict budget! Will be getting a good used V-Strom 650 when I get my full license. 1/3rd of the price of one of these…

[@kamn1]

exhaust + tune is a MUST

[@handleby]

maan, that sound above 5000 rpm!

[@FranciscoGarcia-wd3rl]

Congratulations great motorcycle! For me, the best colours!!!!!

[@leopardpro2878]

Love the bike!! awesome as f**k!!! If it were me, I'd be changing the can for something as light as possible, swapping the body pan for a custom made one in aim to shave weight off (of course a longer back can to keep it quiet) all for the fun rides. Change up the windshield and go down a tooth on the front. Of course you want better brakes and that's your lot! With the custom body pan, I would make it so its a 1 piece radiator protector as well. Keeps the front of the engine clean and stops the stones. People just like a radiator guard but those are for sports bikes, custom pan that covers the radiator ;) you can get it so it tucks under the bottom so nicely, trust me you can make them look super good and it becomes a woah dude where did you get that and all the dads are jealous because your bike stays in great shape and they're still polishing the pipes from the engine block and riding slow so they don't damage their bikes LOL Plus it's something that makes you very different in a simple way where its 100% logical to why you'd do it. Anyway, nice bike bro

[@trailrideadventures]

Black Bear Pass Perfect for this bike.

[@DansADV]

Welcome to the ADV club... take it on the COBDR

[@luisantoniob.1044]

She looks good

[@groMMit1981]

Very nice, that's the boney I'd love to own!

[@davidgearardo1788]

I absolutely love those bikes what a joy to ride, it’s the just right porridge Goldilocks bike for me, but I can’t get one , my buddy has one and under warranty the bearings went out like bad bad, within 1000 miles, and they fought him tooth and nail about fixing it, he was without a bike for four months, FOUR! I can’t do that I don’t have the patience for that shit. If it was something major I’d be sweating it, he wouldn’t just replace the bearings out of principle . Damnit I want one though.

[@akiuliano]

Tuaregs are sweet.

[@scottjones9670]

Guess this means you'll be that "ADV Dad with the all the tools in a pannier on the group ride" now. From one ADV dad to another, welcome.

[@PeeFunk2008]

Welcome to the middle-weight Euro ADV, Yam.

[@Dar7635]

You made the best choice!

[@ikonoklass]

You’re slowly working your way back into off-road riding. It is ineluctable.

[@YaroCarHustle]

Please let me know if you might be selling some of the extra parts off of the Desert Sled... Would love to get mine "souped up" a bit !

Wasn't Yam making fun of ADVs earlier this year 😂

I am waiting for aprilia to build something like this with 457 platform, But i guess i am out of luck

[@christian_esquivel]

Did not see it coming

[@JessicaSimonson1976]

I still think it is funny you set out to prove how bad a Boom 223cc bike was. Instead proved how good it actually was now Boom has new naked bikes.

[@jamesrriordon5955]

Is this an April Fools video? After all the grief Yammie has given to seniors on ADV bikes, I find it hard to believe he can eat that much crow without someone doing the Heimlich maneuver on him.

[@logangodofcandy]

Could have gotten a lightly used XE

[@michaelgilliar56]

Congratulations on your own giveaway haha that said... You wouldn't pull the trigger on it when "paying" for it so kiiiinda bias to say it's the best choice. Well of course when it's "free" lol great videos keep up the great work.

[@shaun8256]

Starting to get that adventure,dual sport itch eh! Personally never understood a crotchrocket or a heavy lumbering hog or cruiser. Love the ability to go where ever when ever! I'm certain you won't but don't be upset when you drop it off-road! I know you know it will happen! Uh oh! You braked in a corner! Canyonchaser would say that's dangerous, you will crash doing that, so I told him if you can't brake while cornering you don't know how to ride! He got a bit salty with me and I just laughed about it!

[@ih8momjokes1]

isnt that powerplant questionable for an ADV bike?

Not much smaller than a tenere

I am confused now. Aren't you an Adv Bike "hater"?

Make a comparison video with a versys 650- since it seems after years of bashing it, you wanted Aprilia's re-creation of it.

Fun bike. Breaks a lot.
