New AJP PR7 660 Adventure ?!
 
Hello Guys,
I found this AJP Information in a other Forum :

"AJP will be presented the new AJP PR7 Adventure at the Cologne InterMot Show.
It will be a trial bike with a great offroad hability, but also capable of travelling on road. The AJP PR7 will be THE bike for everybody that want's real adventure, with good fuel autonomy, lightweight ( 155kg !!!) and compact dimensions."

I think it sounds interessting, is there a new KTM 640 Adventure coming from AJP ??!

Have someone more information about this new bike ?

I'm going to bet it is going to use the Yam 660 XT engine

When speaking to AJP(UK) staff at Motorcycle Live 2013, one of them let slip that they were testing a Minarelli engine for future inclusion in their line up, namely the Yamaha 660 single. This surprised me, it being quite a heavy engine for the lightweight AJP, in comparison to some of the lighter powerplants used by other manufacturers in recent years. I will reserve judgement until I see it in the flesh.

I spoke to Craig of AJP at the Adventure Overland show last week-end- and it is going to be the Yam 660 engine in a light frame- looking forward to that one. Solid motor - good choice and, for travelling, probably the best.
I saw what he did to some other bikes and if that's anything to go by...it's going to be a beauty!

So... this is going to be a sort of lighter XT660??? :thumbup1:

Truly a stunning bike! Very nice. :thumbup1: Looks more like a Dakar Racer than a travel bike ... but certainly a good start! Great looking components!

The weight is a bit high for a race bike ... must be the 660 lump ?? ... which has always been a bit Porky ... but solid and reliable by most accounts.

155 kgs. (341 lbs.) is no featherweight ... about 40 lbs. more than KTM 690 (136 kgs. dry) ... and 17 lbs. more than my DR650. (324 lbs./147 kgs. dry)

I'd love to see a mildly tuned version of the Yamaha's WR450 motor in that chassis. No idea if the above bike has got any sort of sub frame or what sort of luggage carrying ability it may have. But looks the Shizzz! Nice!

Looks only a mother could love??

On paper the stats are intriguing 155 kg is definitely lighter than most of what the world calls an adventure bike. I also have mis givings about AJP build quality.

I think the 155 kg are not dry !?

Globetrotter 2 Oct 2014 11:44

155 kg dry, without fuel.

so should I understand that the 660 yam engine is made by minarelli? designed and built?

This bike looks really interesting, but the company seems to have been off my radar - what's their history? How reliable are their bikes? I've looked at their site, but I'd be interested to hear from owners.

And a couple more
