Great video Johannes. Thanks for posting it. I’ve just bought a Galaxy Active 3 for a similar set up. So it was great to hear your experience. 👍

Different is good. Ciao, Marco.

Almost everything we buy in the US is made in China but can still buy land, houses, food, trucks, guns and bikes made in some other country so I do. 4 KTMs in the cave and 1 Harley only because several of my friends ride Harleys.

My experience with my Aprilia 660, its my first adventure bike - and I’m loving it! I took it on a 2-up trip from the Netherlands to Austria, and it handled it like a dream. No hiccups, no issues, just smooth, and really good performance. I’ve put 10,000 km on it in 4.5 months, and it’s been rock solid. No breakdowns, no weird noises, just pure riding enjoyment. As much as I’m thrilled with the bike, there is one major downside: the dealers and the Piaggio/Aprilia support network. Dealing with them can be frustrating - slow responses, parts delays, and weak customer support. This seems to be the main reason why people hesitate to go for an Aprilia or any Piaggio brand (atleast from what i read or hear in my surroundings). If they fixed this, I’m sure more people would give these bikes a chance. The 660 itself is fantastic, and I’m happy I took the leap!

Hello Johannes! Where are you ? Where are videos ?? We miss you mate ! I hope u are all right, regards.

Nice video Johannes - I’m looking forward to more! I do hope your future series will cover maintenance along with everything else - I’d be very interested to see how you easy you find the bike to work on.

Same may real name 🥰

Agree, Tab Active3 8" is a great size for navigation!! I'm thinking of getting a Tab Active Pro (10.1"), which has some better specs. I just want a bigger screen for media viewing and use it as a portable "workstation" while on the go with a foldable bluetooth keyboard. If i get the wifi+cellular version, i'll be able to have a backup phone if my other phone goes Kaput! 😅

What about the brightness on the direct sun? Have anybody experience…comparism tozumo xt, or to active tab 5

Hi Johannes. Thanks a lot. Just bought This setup based on your recommendation. How do you make the tablet turn on/off automatically on ignition? Thanks again 😊

Hi. Do you use an external bluetooth gps receiver when you do not have data signal (e.g. fully offline in the middle of nowhere)?

Alltid lika roligt att höra en skåning skrika -"J*vla Stockholmare" 😂

Picking my 2024 Canyon Sand Tuareg up tomorrow. I think they sell what they make. I don't expect we'd be into the 3rd model year and have some changes, modest they may be, if they weren't selling them. It shows they are continuing to invest, albeit minimally in this model and I'm fine with the small incremental 2025 changes that won't massively devalue my 2024. Can't say the same thing about the 2025 Tenere that is now playing catch-up. I think the fact Yamaha is following Aprilia's lead by introducing some basic, reliable modern features to the Tenere suggests they're losing some sales to those of us buying the 660 at a small premium over the T7.

Much too much fluff, not enough substance.

As of November 2024 - We have a number of issues with KTM 690/701 here in SoCal. 2018 ~ 2023 models are coming in with cam damages. Some have about 3k miles only and cam is so damaged that it requires a complete engine rebuild (with cost of about $3k - the owner wanted to just sell it). If you are 690/701 owners be advised of followings: any noise from engine or vibration or back fire noise. Do check your cam and valve earlier than KTM's recommendation .

So if reliability is so important (and all the rest is secondary) , then why not stick with the undeniable champion in that regard: the Honda XR600?

Brilliant vids on the PR7, thanks. I'm about to buy one...but I'm a similar height to you and worried about low seat/high pegs. Did you ever come up with a solution for lowering the pegs?

Johannes, great video useful feedback on this remarkable bike. Re the rear brake, you will be able to adjust it quite a bit on that Rose joint ( be careful not to screw it out too far though so it pops out! ) but how about braided steel hoses throughout? I have found they make a big difference in decreasing sponginess.

You can find out for us about what many riders say aboit how cfmoto has got it with the weight: it may be 195kgs wet, but it FEELS like the 175kgs.

I do not need a bike to race rallies, so the Kove does not interest me, but the PR7 is my next bike. Great video, thank you!

Nice early review Johannes, interesting. We experienced the rear brake pedal issue as well on the 4 day test ride this summer as well. It got as bad that we had remove the rear wheel and motion the caliper pistons as well. We tried to adjust the the pedal travel, but there wasn't enough adjustability. But after the caliper motion it got function as new again. Good to know aboutvthe radiator as well, the 690 had the same issue as well with a very exposed radiator and as well a cooling fan that famaged the radiator (could be fixed with distance washers). Happy Trails man. What endurobrace did You do?

This wholesale rebuilding of a new bike to make it adequate is ridiculous. It is a fault, if not an outright scam by the manufacturer, to not build the bike the customer wants. But, really they will only refine a bike to the point where the buyer will decide to purchase it. So, if the bike we want has to be purchased piecemeal online it's because we settle for less at the dealership!!!

Hi Johannes, thanks for the video. I have a BMW 1150 GSA. It´s a bit narrow behind the cockpit. Do you think the Brodit holder on a RAM Mount would hold the construction? Between the RAM Mount ball on the cockpit and on the Brodit holder would be a a RAM Mount connection arm in order to get a bit distance from the windshield.

What was your total cost (tablet + mount + other)? I see the carpe-iter is doing a cockpit bundle now for €774

bruh...what's with the robe?

Johannes, can you tell me if your Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3 is a 7" or 8" display? Thanks.

Great video !

Just lookin forward to the kove800 rally commin to Uk. Tusan Takk.🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🏍️🏍️

been using the tech 3 and cannot get them to break in at all. Have issues changing gear and just cannot get the comfort in any way. Thought about trying the tech 7s maybe they are better

Thanks! Looking at this bike here in the States and really appreciate these perspectives. I must admit that I'm surprised by the exhaust interference with the swing arm and the brake pedal? Also, was that 2 point bash plate stock? Cheers from the mountains and canyons of Utah!

I have the same jacket! And I plan to get AJP aswell. :D

yes, light is always better, unless you are just going on fast paved or flat dirt roads.

I was exited, couse its really good looking, but then I saw... weight. I will just stick with my CB500X for a while.

Just happened tonight! 10-20-24 had to push bike 4.5 miles

Got same problem. Currently selling crf 300L cuz it is not enough cc to load it with stuff and ride out on the pavement. I knew T7 is too heavy also so what I am thinking about is Aprilia Tuareg 660 but turns out 2023 has some flaws, waiting to see is it fixed on 2024 model. And another bike that I am thinkig of is KOVE 450..but also have to wait and see how reliable it is

Just finished a 700km ride on my 2014 BMW 800 adventure on stock seat, made the last half of ride miserable so I’ve been researching Seat Concepts. Overall very positive but I would suggest calling them to discuss options. Ie get the foam and cover kit from them, or you can ship them your stock seat pan and they will do it. I think there are different foam and cover options too. Realize this can get costly but when you consider what the bike costs it’s well worth it to have a comfortable ride. Safe riding!

Hei! 🙂 It's funny I decided to subscribe to your channel on the least offroad oriented video you may have published. I should say I recognize myself more in that photogram where you find the barrier that prevents you to continue on a trail.....but I hope this video of yours reconcile me with the beautiful roads we have in Norway and I will try to be a bit less angry to the local restrictions to offroad motorcycling. Congrats to your 'kult' channel from a Stavanger utlending. Ciao. P.S. Would you ever consider to mention where in Norway are the best trails we are allowed to ride without fear of breaking the laws or being chased by angry farmers?

what is the map program we see on the tablet screen in the video?

If you had a lot of money and could afford any bike. Sure you'd look at other options. But value for money the CF450 Mt can't be beaten. Unkess you prefer a thumper like the Enfield.

Hi Johannes. Thanks for great video. I'm going to make the same configuration as you did after watching. Can you please help me to describe what you used to mount the Brodit holder to the 12mm crossbar, and how you connected the USB cable into the bike ?

Absolute rubbish. This bike has no competition on the market....

HI, I recently purchased a t7 euro4, I have enjoyed your videos about the t7, they have been very useful, thank you for sharing. I bought an HP Corse like yours, which I installed yesterday, I removed one of the bolts from the shock absorber links to see if the swingarm wasn't hitting the exhaust pipe? the rear wheel is +/- 10 cm away from touching the fender, and the brake support touches the middle exhaust pipe, haven't you had any problems with your exhaust? I don't want to ride the bike without making sure I don't damage anything. Thanks

it depends of the use. kove for fast paths...like dakar, sand...

hey man do you still have your 350?

Have you ever thought about putting that pole bag in the middle of the mattress, just noticed the hole there and it looked about the right size. Liked the ideas thanks

Get a 690. None of that nonsense

Thank you 😊

People get overly worried about top heavy. Best manoeuvring aircraft were never stable and you will find that the T7 outperforms the Aprilia and the Transalp in the corners because of its instability.

Wow! Thank you thank you thank you! I am so thankful for your video on this product! I was just about to buy a center stand. Thank god the stand I wanted was out of stock! I used you link to purchase the endurostar stand. !

Bought a used OEM seat off ebay for $100 and did my own mods.
