Conclusion - what sticks

The Aprilia Tuareg 660 is a good travel enduro with a strong tendency towards "enduro". This can be seen visually in the engine protection, the 21 inch front wheel and the long spring travel. Nevertheless, the bike also feels good on the road and is not out of place there. Criticisms are the non-adjustable windscreen, the somewhat loveless stickers (not painted over) and the somewhat economical space for the passenger. Apart from that, the Tuareg is doing a good job.
 
The price of just under 12,000 euros is okay compared to the Yamaha (about 11,000 euros), as the Aprilia is technically better equipped. The advertising slogan "THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS - Maximum performance and high driving comfort" may be a little exaggerated, but it's true: The Tuareg cuts a fine figure both off-road and on the road.
 
The test bike was provided to us by ZTS (Zweiradtechnik Schielman) for this test. ZTS is located in Bokel, where you will find beautiful country roads and also a little terrain for an extensive test drive. Coffee is also available there, so a trip to ZTS is worthwhile. Greetings to Hajo!
