XT660R

Any one ridden one? Whats it like over distance? Comfyish?

Might be off to hire one.

 

if it stops in germany, you have to get off and shoot it.

 

I've got an XT660Z which shares the same engine but very little else.
Great fun to ride if you concentrate on keeping your corner speed high
and easily capable of being ridden at reasonable touring speeds all
day.

The engine's are much better than the older style single cylinder
trail bikes used to have and don't suffer from vibration to any great
degree so you don't end up with white fingers after 30 minutes of
riding and they're pretty good on fuel so you're not constantly having
to stop and fill up.

 

Why?

 

Vibration white arse is a bad thing.

Thanks for the swift info. Off to the hire place to pick one up. Will
post a revue monday.

unless of course........

 

bonwick standard policy.

 

I can't get my head around people handing over useable kit to the Hun.
