AJP PR7

(We don't have a thread in the bike section for AJP yet so I'll just park this here and move it later)

So have you heard about the AJP PR7?  It's billed as a 600cc adventure bike and looks sexy as hell!  Looks more like a rally bike even but I'm intrigued.

Here's more from their website but let me tease you with a few photos and video.

I think this came out in Europe last fall and should be here in the US "next winter" I hear.

I thought it had a Yamaha engine but it's actually a 600 cc SWM engine.

Any idea on the forks?  Everything seems to just say "fully adjustable telescopic, USD forks"  Ive only seen red tubed Marzoochi forks.  The motor i see in the first video looks very much like the husqvarna 610/630 motors.  Wonder what kind of oil capacity it will have??  Has potential.  Hope this is a company that hears what the people are asking for.  Id be all over an affordable rally/adv body style 600ish bike!!!  Price wise I see old articles, 2015-2016, expecting anything from 7,000-10,000 euros.  so by the time it actually release with a california approved emissions version, it will probably be close to the prices of the liter bike adv bikes.

its hard to believe that Husky/KTM are the only companies producing a legit 600-800 dirt focused single/twin cyl dual sport.  I look around and see plenty of people screaming for one.  seems like nothing but pipe dreams and rumors of Yamaha T7 concept, spy photos of a KTM adv twin, and a mini africa twin.

By mini Africa twin I'm talking about the weird batch of bikes Honda has at one point tried to call adventure bikes.  The CB500X, NC750X, CRF250L Rally, and now this X-adv.  Not really dirt worthy, but it seems like for about 2 seconds a mid size adventure bike was the intent.  Then somewhere along the line the designers found the spare parts bins.

A street bike with adventure body work, a big scooter motor in a street bike package, an awesome concept but a 250!?!, and literally an adventure scooter in Africa twin colors.

Having watched some of the videos of the PR7 on YouTube, it sure looks to have a all around capability for lighter weight adventure duty! What is unknown initially will be its reliability over time. Hope it can "check" all the boxes.

From further investigation, the SWM motor seems to be an earlier HUSKY single but given current fuel injection components. 

It'll be interesting to see if it is delayed by the US emissions regs.

AJP announces their new 2018 model lineup featuring the PR7 and a new Rally Version off road-only PR7 Rally 600!

2018_PR7_left_side.REV.jpg

2018 PR7 Rally 600 – MSRP $9995 Dreaming of racing Baja? Dream no more! The off-road race-only edition of the PR7 is coming to the USA. Not for the faint of heart and definitely not street legal – this bike is packed with features and ready to blast across the desert at over 100mph! The PR7 is designed to be the ultimate open-class rally racer. Starting with a new generation frame we added the very best in off-road suspension from Sachs front & rear. Next came billet triple clamps, billet footpegs, and billet bar mounts. To keep the stand-over height narrow and low – we placed the fuel tank in our usual place – down low, under the seat. The rally-style tower incorporates a very effective windscreen, dual stacked headlamps, and removable ASUS tablet computer. Load the Android tablet with whatever you like – navigation, apps, web-based programs – it can handle it all, at speed - thru any weather condition. The power-plant in the PR7 is composed of a 60hp 600cc fuel-injected 6-speed motor, DOMA full race exhaust, carbon fiber air intake, plus race-spec ECU. Only a limited quantity of these exciting bikes will be available. Stop dreaming and reserve your PR7 now by contacting your closest AJP dealer for all the details…
