I will wait for the adventure version. |

No we don't have rallies in Switzerland!!! Off road is banned everywhere here....
What I wanted to say, is that a rally bike has a registration. Not like a motocross bike. And in order to have this registration, they need to atisfy the EU rules. Of course, after the check, you remove all the stuff added to make them pass the emission/noise certifications |
Minarelli engine is "no go"

http://www.ellisracetrailride.com.au Ellis Race Trail Ride (Nerang / QLD / Australia) got a demo bike, was somehow impressed with the bike must say. Expected something different ~ pleasantly surprised after a short test sprint but bike would benefit greatly with a bit more up & go power. Was told a ECU update available as well to overcome the "snappy throttle syndrome" some owners comment on and as well the occasional hard starting from cold...

Morphed into a specialist bike
Quote:
Having been in "prototype display form" during the past couple of years as a road-legal bike it seems to be coming to the market now as a race-only bike i.e. non-road legal. It still is 600cc, so probably still using the SWM motor manuf in Italy with Chinese money financing the factory. Other websites say that those in the USA can buy one for around $10K. Scratching around the interweb, AJP are not appearing at the Italian or UK motorcycle shows during this month - there are other shows however for the racing bike fraternity. |
Sorry to revivie an old thread. Wondering if anyone has bought one of these and done a reasonable amount of kilometeres and long distance travel.
Any issues arisen? These have recently become available here in Australia, but not many have been sold. Those that have bought seem pretty happy but not a lot opf miles yet. Thinking this could be viable replacement for my aging KTM640 adventure. Any feedback appreciated |

there is a Dutch guy who took one across Mongolia, bought and paid for out of his own pocket.
I don't have the link to him on this computer but he was very impressed, if i find the link I will add it. 38 |

Quick ride on a PR7
2 Attachment(s)
Five years after this thread was started PR7s are now well and truly in the shops.
Took one for a spin at the overland show and was quite impressed. Goes great for the claimed 48hp and feels light at 165kg tanked up. Would be a great desert bike. Mostly down to looks, but preferred it to the 20-kilo heavier SWM SuperDual 650X (same motor; SWM supply it to AJP), even if it is £1500 cheaper. More here |
A Belgian chap had also ridden one all thru south america with very few issues. The bike seems to be well sorted now. An updated version is coming out at EICMA, with AJP having already put a promo video on YouTube "AJP PR7 2020"

Came across Belgian bloke in Morocco from one of my tours a few years back and now back on a year-old PR7 with about 20,000km.
Mentioned a fuel-pump or filter meltdown in the Pyrenees one time when he ran low. Fixed on warranty. Mpg is no so good - about 20kpl or 330km to a tank, iirc. His Samsung tablet did not agree with the rain. This things may be sorted in current models and other than that, he seemed very pleased with it. https://adventuremotorcyclinghandboo...9/09/pr775.jpg https://adventuremotorcyclinghandboo...9/09/pr771.jpg https://adventuremotorcyclinghandboo...9/09/pr772.jpg https://adventuremotorcyclinghandboo...9/09/pr773.jpg https://adventuremotorcyclinghandboo...9/09/pr774.jpg |
