Andrew Clubb @MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV and Editor of Australian Adventure Bike Magazine, tests and reviews the 2024 Aprilia Tuareg after a 1000 kilometre off road adventure from Melbourne to Sydney.
This test review provides a valuable insight for those new to motorcycle adventure, or the old hands and experienced motorcycle adventurers.
This test review focusses on engine performance, suspension, ergonomics both seated and standing position and traction control. Clubby also describes his optional bike build for his type of motorcycle adventure.
The 2024 Aprillia Tuareg has hit Australian shores. Apart from some changes in colour the bike is ostensibly the same as when we first rode it back in 2022.
But that’s not a bad thing because the bike was so good. In fact outstanding is a better description.
Our first test of the bike revealed impressive results, a strong willing engine, class leading suspension, great handling, thoughtful simple electronic traction control options and great standing and seated ergos.
Clubby and I rated this bike and saw it as a class leader. In fact we saw it as the best adventure bike to arrive in Australia for years.
