Thanks for the review, looks like a great bike. How would you compare it to a 660 Tenere ? I'm looking to spend some time doing forest trails and tracks in Scandinavia, followed by a 2-3 week trip around Iceland and agree that a 1200 GSA or similar is too big, heavy, and has too much electronically assisted witchcraft for my taste 👍🏻
Not a bad review but that horrible music?? Also, why does the VO after the intro sound so bad? Did you record it on your phone or laptop mic? You guys should befriend an audio expert that can help you with such things. Anyway, I realize this is over a year old and you guys have somewhat improved the audio quality.. Cheers and I'm glad you all do what you do. Lastly, you gotta let us hear the sound of the bike!! Chill on the shit music. Thx!
Ive had a 08 klr i bought used in 09 and even though she has been as reliable as a hammer its time to part ways! Im really thinking hard about getting one of these. Just doing some homework as to where the dealers are near me and any big issues. Think it will be the new toy in the garage soon!
depends on what you want and kind of purpose of your bike. Superdual def for offroad, but for long distance travels, AJP is more hard enduro/off road, less adventure travelling. (from my point of view)
A poor review. I would like to hear the bike at some stage during the review, not just music. You didn't show the instruments or tell us about fitting luggage. Is the gearing ok for slow riding off road eg, rocks and logs. A wasted opportunity.
Why do people insist on putting shite rock music on motorcycle videos? What is the gearbox like? The SWM Gran Milano gearbox is nasty between 1st and 2nd.
Great stuff, more bikes like this please. 👍🏻
Nice balanced review. Well done.
REALLY frustrating to have music or monologue playing over the engine noise. An interesting bike that we can't hear!!

Hey Matthew. We think it would stack up pretty well, maybe the suspension quite up to the 660 level, but the SWM is certainly a more forgiving bike.
660 tenere is no more in productio and it's heavy and old.

Seems like a more modern ,more refined option than a KLR

would you prefer this bike over the AJP pr7?

It has 54 hp 🙂

Painfully boring
