Great review as always, Spite. We are proud to be a sponsor of such a talented and entertaining creator. Keep up the great work!

Everything Aprilia make is special. It's what they do! AF1 racing aren't just any old dealership, they're THE dealership/ parts developer for Aprilia. Incredible score for a partnership Spite. Congrats mate

Really great to watch you in "real time" play with the settings and how they affect the ride. What is a bit frustrating as a viewer of ride reviews is the reviewer criticizing a bike's handling or suspension and never once tries any settings. Many reviewers ride bikes with adjustable suspension, criticize the handling, and never touch the clickers or mode settings etc. It doesn't take much spend a few minutes learning what is adjustable, and experimenting with ride modes, suspension adjustments etc. Thanks for that! Knocking on 100k Spite! 🙂

Aprilia makes incredible motorcycles, they just have this magic mix I can’t explain, whoever is designing the bikes and coming up with the ideas is hitting it out of the park.

Spite is such a refreshing person in the motorcycle workd that I sometimes play his videos on the background even if i’m not watching just so his view count increases. Love from the Philippines, Spite!

I just got mine a few weeks ago and love it so far. It’s funny my conclusion is the same as yours: a handful of niggles but overall a fantastic package worth the money. Quick shifter is fantastic, cruise control is a game changer, and the factory crash bars help lessen the anxiety about dropping it off road.

Would love to test ride this beast. I've actually never ridden an Aprilia in 20+ years of riding. Great video Spite, keep up the good work! Don't forget your cruiser boi roots!

Can't say this enough, but you are killing it in the presentation skills, and your research and recall are top notch. Cheers to more growth and staying community focused!

My initial reaction to the looks was "Oh dear God!", but actually, I think I agree that it's got a 'look'. It's not a pretty or handsome bike, but it is definitely distinctive and is a look that grows on me. Also, one of the best sounding L2 engines I've heard in a long time. Most sound like tractor or lawnmower engines! It's very interesting that it sounds like Aprillia gave it a definite off-road bias but equipped it with Scorpion tyres, which I've always thought of as road-biased dual-sports.
Fantastic to see sponsors coming on board, and AF1 supporting you, the channel has got real momentum which is very well deserved.

That's awesome that you hooked up with AF1! Those guys have been super supportive with my SXV550 and my Tuono V2 when I had it.

[steveransom]

Thanks for reviewing this! You are a trusted voice out there on the internet. Glad to see the channel growing!

2 years on my Tuareg and I absolutely love it!

[humech]

I have 1200 miles on mine, absolutely love it and agree with everything you've said here. I had the dealer bleed the brakes during first service and it really improved the brake feel, i dive into corners with confidence now.

Also I'm 5’9“ and wear a dual sport helmet and yeah the wind buffeting is pretty annoying with the bill, will be looking into a different windscreen or something despite loving the way it looks.

@AF1 Racing is one of the best dealerships! Awesome collaboration. Looking forward to seeing more from this partnership.

Ive had my Tuareg since April 2022, and I absolutely love it. I use the TC in 1 offroad and have done a lot of gnarly stuff with it! Great bike. Love the reviews and videos Spite!

[Doomstrader]

82k! Keep going baby! Good for you Spite

[gearhead]

Fantastic review. I’ve been patiently waiting for a bike to come around that ticks the boxes I want from a daily motorcycle and this one seems to hit the nail on the head. Every question I had in mind, you answered. Fantastic job and thank you for your dedication to the community!

[fullmetalcorgi]

Every Aprilia comes with complimentary spaghetti bolognese

[ericcastle]
