Thanks Andre. Best summary Ive been able to find. The Rally 660 is also very appealing. Imagine if a super Corsa with ohlins were available retail! Wow 🥰
I have... it's coming. And yes.... contender for my bike of the show is the Rieju Aventura Rally 300... think Voge 300 but with better suspension, Michelin enduro tyres as standard and a larger fuel tank. If you do podcasts, I had a chat to Clive from the Trail and Adventure Motorbike Podcast yesterday about it (and others) and that podcast is out now.
@@PeakMotorcycles Nice podcast and bikelist. I have the Moto Morini Alltrike 450 based on the CF 450 MT (i guess) and the FB Mondial Sendero 300 and the Rieju off course 🤗
Focus is Tuono 457 for this year. I suspect it'll be EICMA 2025 for that. They have to have bikes ready now for the March 2025 season onwards, so that will be the focus at the factory too. I guess they'll also be watching how the 450 twins from other manufacturers are doing. Competition is stiff from the likes of CFMoto, so if they only do similar for 50% more, that might be a challenge. Though if BMW offer the same and there's a market for premium 450 twins, that could also be interesting.
For the last two years, I've been running a Tuareg 660 as a fully loaded touring bike, solo. It has proven to be perfect for that task.
Awesome. Thoughts on saving 5kg with a thicker bash guard and linear springs vs the progressive ones?
Aprilia are making a wonderful range of machines. Every time I go ‘ oh l love that!’ The next one is better!
Well done to them
It’s a good range. Even the 125’s look pretty good.
the new rally does look sick - serious styling across the entire range though tbh
Yup. It’s easier with a smaller range. Honda should take note!
Tuono makes a great touring bike. Took mine to Spain this year, ended up off road at one point, it handled everything really well.
Awesome. I used to have a Speed Triple 1050R which was a surprisingly comfortable tourer.

You're welcome. I do like the Rally 660. I'd like to ride it, but I suspect that would be my best in class.
Tuono 457 looks nice in that red 👌
It does.
Thanks Andre, Aprilia have certainly added spices to their sugo!
Yup
Thanks for the visit Andre. Do you plan to go on the Rieju stand. They have a few new adventure bikes on display

Was there anyone on the stand to ask about the Tuareg 457? Release date or at least a date for an official announcement?

Is sherco French brand at the show this year
They were but I ran out of time. They were on my list.
Kawi needs an adv option. The versys isn't enough. Every other manufacturer is leaving them in the dust.
Yup. The KLE in the crate might be a start?
