Welcome and hello. I've had a range of bikes over the last 21 years and it may not be the fastest, but the XTX is the most fun i've had on two wheels.
Do a search on mods and you'll get the picture with regards to making the bike ride like yamaha should have done in the first place. I guess they just knew there were people out there who liked tinkering.

Thanks all for the welcoming. Picked it up yesterday and I'm loving it. Looking for any excuss to pop to the shops or take mrs for lunch. Definitly needs a nice set of cans on it first (liking the price and look of the mtc) and then the mods can begin :)

Nice day for a ride :)
