In addition to the half shell, the XJ6 Diversion also offers a main stand. Overall, it makes a solid impression. The colours suit it well and nothing stands in the way of longer tours. Riding comfort is naturally higher than on the XJ6 due to the wind protection. This is particularly noticeable at higher speeds.

All in all, the well-equipped Tuareg 660 from Aprilia is not only a great touring enduro in the truest sense of the word for 11,990 euros in Germany and 13,490 euros in Austria, but also - if you like - a "Tenere with everything". For this, you have to dig a little deeper into your pocket. But you will quickly become familiar with the more accessible Tuareg, which makes it a good choice for those looking for their first adventures off the beaten track - without boring experienced riders, quite the opposite. In any case, the Aprilia is an enrichment for the Sequment and a good option for those who do not want to do without electronic riding aids even on an off-road oriented Reissenduro.

Good chassis components with decent suspension travel

Driving modes well tuned or differences well noticeable

Traction control easily adjustable even while driving

Cruise control as standard

The good quickshifter is not standard

The smart white-blue-red colour variant "Indigo Tagelmust" is at extra cost

The wind protection could be better
