AJP PR7 - Big Dirt Bike in Adventure Suit!

What is the real purpose of this motorcycle?
In this video, I will share my experience with the Portugal brand AJP. After I got the chance to ride the PR7 model I am ready to tell you more about it.

    Never having had a bike with ABS, and I currently run a 1988 Honda Transalp, this looks like a perfect bike for me. Love the simplicity and lack of electronic dependency. If I was in the market for a new bike I would certainly check it out.

    hello I own a T7 and a PR7. The pr7 is without a doubt an offroad machine, I use it whenever I don't do many kilometers on the road. I use the T7 when I have to cover many kilometers on the road, but as soon as I get on the trails I miss the pr7. Two good machines.

    What would immensely help this brand keep existing imho, would be to include a complete service manual with the bike so as to give the opportunity to remote mechanics to learn to service and fix them (if the owner is not willing to). I knew about this bike for a few years now but some details in this clip were useful. Thanks. P.S. Companies are living organisms and can be very resilient even in very adverse economic environments, that is if the management is capable, hedging their position and in general being prudent. The biggest problem for small businesses right now is the lack of governments that are small enterprise-friendly, that is becoming increasingly scarce (at least in Europe). I hope they keep existing and establish their position in this very specialized niche.

So for now as an adv off-road novice I’ve bought an Honda crf 250 Rally. Hopefully AJP PR7 would be the next step one day.

There is another Dutch traveller on a PR7, making vids on YT , with more on reliability. On my side I tested a PR7 and a 701 : I chose the 701 early 2021, because about same price but offering more performance, and a dealer close to my home. I didn't feel good on the PR7, pegs very high, more vibrations than the 701 . 8.000km over 1st year, Alps, Pyrénées, TET, no issue on my 701.

Loading fuel was difficult without splashing the saddle, which was especially ennoying with luggage on it, but other than that I did not find the balance of that popular bike bad at all. Alternatively, I tried once the KTM 790 Adventure S with the low side-tanks and found it very nimble and well-balanced, and it seems to me it is even easier to protect against shock hazards than the standard position. Some guys say the T700 is much harder to lift up after a drop. What is your experience on this point, I mean in comparison with other bikes ?

    Great review Pavlin. 👍👍👍👍 The AJP was very high on my wish list but being 61 I don’t think I could really take advantage of the bike, my DR650 still does what I need it to do. When it comes to reliability well the engine has been around a long time, it is basically a Husky 610, the same engine as SWM use in the super dual X and when BMW owned Husqvarna back in the day was used in there dual sport model, so it is not an new engine it is over 20 years old. Parts and dealer networks are a bit of an issue but most parts are used on various motorcycles so things like oil and air filters should be relatively easy to obtain.

First love is never forgotten, it gave me more than other cars and cost me half the price of cars of more common brands. The maintenance in the garage did not cost me more, but it is true that not every mechanic knew how to handle this model. Conclusion: If I know I have a good mechanic who knows the model, a veteran mechanic in providing good service, even today I do not hesitate to take a less sold brand motorcycle ... Then I bought the CBR250R(2013)🤦‍♂🤔

That doesn't mean I don't appreciate it for what it is. Perhaps too extreme, but I bet if Honda made a crf650 it would sell like hot cakes, ir maybe a crf500x.. Very interesting though.

No one has been able to determine why these motors crack at the front. China has a terrible record with quality control which is a real problem for any bike using an engine from China. The fact that AJP has been seen to fail to care about after sales support for these problem engines in Australia is a big detraction from AJP. For this reason I have decided to stay away from the AJP bike. China will continue to improve and will get their quality control up to spec in time.

    One of my motorcycles here in the U.K. is a 2004 carb version Honda Innova 125 . It is in almost mint condition ,runs as sweet as a nut & 100% reliable . The only pain is as you claim ,the amount of time & plastic you have to remove to service the bike . The older Honda cub type bikes had easy to remove leg shield . I think the manufacturers are deliberately attempting to put owners off home servicing & to make extra servicing & repair business for their franchise dealers . For me the less tech on a motorcycle the better ,every motorcycle has ABS ,traction control & riding modes ,it’s called the rider .

    @@maskedavenger2578 The problem is not with technology. The opposite, the technology of injection is excellent. One of the most notable advantages is the existence of a closed fuel system with almost zero evaporability of fuel, and therefore zero stench of fuel in the garage. The problem is with the knowledge, and hiding the knowledge for self-care in these super simple systems. Nothing is simple when manufacturers hide information, and when manufacturers pour your computer(ECU) into a black box without publishing what it is set to do with each sensor, and without providing a convenient connector, hardware and software, for controlling the parameters. So you are absolutely right probably also on the subject of plastics covers of Honda-Innova, the manufacturer is building a product that will guarantee him a livelihood in maintenance time work. I spared myself the study of the ABS subject, Because I do not have one in either My-Innova or on My-CBR250R(2013) that I bought in addition about a year ago. I before completing a "doctorate" in studying the FI system, and I say FI is a super simple system, also very reliable. But how good is to leave the customers dumb for to charge them an expensive repairs, right? And this is how it is conducted, no knowledge is published, in order to extort money from customers. I'm not complaining, just describing a situation.

    @@maskedavenger2578 I totally understand what you're talking about. But after I made a deep acquaintance with FI systems I do not return voluntarily to the carburetor. And here's another advantage for smart FI systems: In height changes there is no need to mess with nozzles to change the mixture. But of course when you do not know and refrain from learning the new systems (which are already quite a veteran in the market), and the manufacturers contribute to the difficulty by hiding knowledge, then it is clear that the difficulty you describe is real.

    I have also bought one last year. I like it a lot. Very good off-road, but has some drawbacks: no ABS, no passenger foot pegs, but probably you don't need them while offroading :) Or you are very lucky to have a partner to willing to go offroad on the passenger seat... Also older bikes don't have ABS nor traction control so I don't really miss it.

Not saying it isn't happening, but it is news to me. Also, the SWM engine has been around for quite sometime and is considered quite solid. I absolutely love the bike. It's definitely not without some quirks (poor exhaust routing, etc.), but the power, handling and the fun factor is incredible. That said, after reading all the posts on FB about lack of parts availability and poor dealer support in Australia, I personally wouldn't buy it there. I live in Spain where I can get the parts I need within 5 days even though there isn't a dealer in town.

    very cool. I'm a new owner of a PR7, way to soon for me to comment. except it's tall .Enduro bike tall. I'd love to see more of what he's done to the bike, does he (David) have a KZread channel, or is he active on the forums? I like he little mod for controls/gauges he added, was trying to figure out how to something similar. As far as parts availability, and dealers... well, dealer network is tiny, but the bike has parts that are common with other brands, and the motor is an 'old' Husky/BMW/SWM 630. So, it's not going to be as easy to 'fix' as a japanese bike, but it's not complicated like other european bikes. great review.

    I think they really missed a trick by not having a simple switchable ABS. I know purists will say you don't need it, and if you're going to be doing 90% off road then that's probably true but if you're doing a trip that is weeks or even months long then you will be on a lot of road and ABS is a safety feature that I don't think I would want to compromise on for long trips. It's a shame, everything else looks fantastic.

    Got to argue with that! For one, the Dakar shouldn't be called Dakar anymore since it's no longer starting at Paris OR ending in Dakar and is more like Baja. So the PR7 would be a Baja racer, just like the modern "Dakar" Bikes are. Non of the current "Dakar" Bikes would manage to do an entire, Original, Dakar Section. They don't got the speed or the Range for that.
