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.

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2019

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2019

The cruiser among the touring enduros radiates cosiness and sovereignty. Its thundering V2 engine moves well and forgivingly. The chassis and brakes also work well. It is just as ill-suited to extreme off-road situations as it is in the hands of notorious knee-grinders. The Moto Guzzi V 85 TT likes to do its rounds in a refined and comfortable manner, and even for longer tours it offers enough practical comfort with its cardan drive and ergonomics. On top of that, it looks sensational and conveys emotion. The only thing some of our testers would like is a few more horses than its 80 hp.
