Just got my Tuareg 660 a few weeks ago... Great Bike! When I saw the total price of both racks, all 3 boxes, and all 3 inner bags was a total of $3,589.70 US, all I could do was laugh and almost fall over in my chair. Still wouldn't trade the bike for anything. Great Video, your dead on!!!
Congratulations on the new bike, it seems to of bowled over every reviewer and owner, I haven’t seen a bad word about it. That confirms its everywhere! 👍
Well done Terry! I really enjoy your videos and actually bought a 1200 Tiger Xca after watching some of your earlier videos! I'm off to Barcelona in a couple of weeks, on the Tiger, for the Moto GP. Thanks to you, I have wired in a Sat Nav and sorted out some rider modes. Top man!
Ah cheers Matt, thanks for the feedback. I still have my XCa and it’s still the most comfortable bike I h as e ever owned. Barcelona sounds like fun, in comparison I am visiting the Lake District at the same time 😬. Enjoy the trip👍.
I adore the passion you show in your videos! Keep it up ^^ I also comment to tell that Ali needs a better graphic driver (for the computer) btw! I trust that with your mechanical knowledge you'd be able to help with that :3 Ciao and have a wonderful day~
The luggage is stupid prices ..my local dealer has been feeding back to Piaggio that they won’t sell any. I just bought a Tuareg in red in red and got the Hepco and Becker engine bars, rack etc. Great quality and half the price of stock Aprillia stuff…forget official luggage.
The accessory pricing is crazy.... trouble is, so is the aftermarket stuff too. An aftermarket bash plate delivered to the UK for the Tuareg 660 is around £660 with tax etc.... the bash plate for my Beta 390RR was under £200
That is a lot of money for a bash plate. It does look quite complex in that it is covering a lot of gear but it still reeks of poor value. Hopefully the aftermarket will get more competitive for this bike as time goes on. Thanks for watching 👍.
It does add a fair bit but not quite that much the last time I looked? But, the difference in price is very significant and totally unjustified when it looks like zero extra effort or complexity on the blue colour.
Meh - obviously you have never bought factory hard luggage for any bike. The prices you mention are pretty much what BMW, Triumph, KTM etc. charge. Not cheap for sure - that's why there is a thriving aftermarket accessory trade. But Aprilia prices look pretty much on par for factory luggage.
Meh - you obviously didn't watch the whole video then, you are totally and utterly wrong about that. I list the price other manufacturers charge for these and the Tiger 1200 in the background has Aluminium Luggage which is Triumph branded Givi stuff that I personally purchased.
Manufacturers really try to rip you off. I looked at the cost for panniers and top box for a Honda NC750x and they are over £2k and they are not even metal. The bike costs about £7k brand new so these prices are just outrageous
Blimey! That is extortionate, i think Aprilia just pulled some numbers out of hat, and said, yeah, that’ll do. Makes the GS seem almost reasonable! 😂 I’ll stick to a 100ltr dry bag strapped to the back.
Good thing I prefer the rackless systems anyway. To me it should mean they don't sell any accessories. Fine by me. There are other options. Thanks for the video.
Holy shit! I spent about $1900 for the racks and Mosko Moto Backcountry 35l bags and the SW Motech top box kit including the 7% tax. I thought that was expensive. Not anymore.
Suzuki 1050xt,heated grips £300 🤯 spot lights around £400ish 🤯🤯 the list goes on and on the whole motorcycle industry is taking the piss with everything,even down to brake pads £40 per caliper ??????
I know, you have to be really choosy. Honda we’re looking for something like £400 for heated grips for my CB1100, who would pay that? They forget we have alternatives!
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff i would like to hear an explanation from oem manufacturers as to why their parts are so expensive greed or quality who knows???
I know, this is not Dublin Triumph ripping you off though, this is a reflection of the very high cost of doing business in the Republic. Business costs are just astronomical, business insurance costs alone are diabolical. The Government seem to have no small business Czar, everything is focused on multinationals.
The Tiger 660 shits all over the Aprilia Terry!! Aprilia dealers here in the US have abandoned them. There are zero Aprilia dealers in New England USA. They have been booted! The Tiger 660 or the Tracer 7, or the Kawasaki versis are all better options. Terry..... Don't make me RANT good Sir!!!

I’m sure it can be sorted! I’ll put some time aside 😁
SW Motech is about 1000 quids for the full set (paniers, top box and REMOVABLE racks !)
Great quality too! 👍
Excellent and funny as usual !!
Cheers Bro!

That’s exactly what everyone else will do I’m sure, best move. Congrats on a fabulous bike though 👍

Also the blue colour scheme adds £1500 to the price!

I thought the same thing when I saw the USA prices (less tax but still crazy). Will wait for the aftermarket to make luggage that is more affordable.
Another commenter says Givi have released a solution in the last few days. I just can’t see them selling it at this price, to anyone.
you are right. These prices are crazy. Don't buy original Aprilia luggages! Wait for after market products (GIVI available since yersterday).
That will please a few owners 👍

That’s mad for such a low cost bike, £2k! Thanks for pointing that one out. 👍
incredible
Good job TC !!
Ooh ta! 😃
have you looked at Hepco and Beckers aftermarket racks? Hopefully others will get on board soon because the bike is amazing. Good travels
Anyone is going to beat OEM once they get their act together and start producing the racks. H&B a great premium brand at reasonable prices. 👍
Blimey! That is extortionate, i think Aprilia just pulled some numbers out of hat, and said, yeah, that’ll do. Makes the GS seem almost reasonable! 😂 I’ll stick to a 100ltr dry bag strapped to the back.
I know? I do have some metal panniers but use my cheap LOMO dry bags for lots of camping stuff like tents and sleeping bags and they are just fine.
I got my Triumph tiger 1200 alpine last year with free 3 box luggage. plus they threw in free heated seats. now thats the cheapest.
That’s the deal! 👍
Dreadful...aftermarket companies are gonna love the business.
They are 👍
Good thing I prefer the rackless systems anyway. To me it should mean they don't sell any accessories. Fine by me. There are other options. Thanks for the video.
Yes, plenty of other options, not sure what Aprilia are thinking on that price. I love the bike though!
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff Good to hear! I expect to pick mine up tomorrow.
Holy shit! I spent about $1900 for the racks and Mosko Moto Backcountry 35l bags and the SW Motech top box kit including the 7% tax. I thought that was expensive. Not anymore.
That is a positive bargain in comparison Bob 👍. That Mosko Moto gear is class too.
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff The Mosko bags are awesome for sure.
😳mama mia! those italians sure know how to charge Terry!
They certainly do John. You’ve got to want them bad to pay for those!
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff definitely the aftermarket other brands are the wise way to go, Shad, Givi etc
@@johnfitzsimons3198 DEFO
Holy hell! You could buy a decent used bike for that amount!
You could indeed. I bought my Daytona 1200 for less!

Go after market. Use soft luggage.
In Europe soft luggage is not as popular as security is a big issue. I can imagine everyone will be looking at the aftermarket 😳
