Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia Tuareg 660 2022

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.

Handling and ergonomics

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

Suzuki SV 650 2023

The Suzuki SV 650 has been on the market for 25 years, longer than any other motorbike. The engine has been updated to Euro5 and is now even more mature, which clearly fits in with the rest of the package. The SV 650 doesn't want to scare anyone, especially beginners. The chassis makes a solid, unagitated impression, the brakes require a lot of manual force to prevent unexpected overbraking. The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated. On the other hand, the price is fair, as usual for Suzuki.

Last V2 powerplant in the class

easy handling, timeless look

Brake requires manual force

no electronics on board apart from ABS
