My first supermoto
 

Hi there,
I have just join the xt660x forum to day, It is a bit funny been the newbie on the site lol.
I had a big crash this year on my k6 GSXR750 and now I can't ride sport bikes any more just because of my injuries, and with me been a mega big bike fan and a massive lover of bikes from the age of 7 where I started motocross I did not want to give them up as its in my blood, I was thinking off going back to motocross again as I need to wear motocross boots my injuries hold me back, So I started looking at supermoto's as the vid's on youtube looked ace and the write ups I read all sounded like supermoto bikes where fun mega fun, and I was after a wr450 to make into a supermoto then I change my mind and was looking at the ktm 690 and 950, I was taking to a work mate who had a xt660x and I was asking him what they are like and I could see it in his face that he liked it very much and he told me to pop around to have a look at his xt660x hes bike has been used in all weathers he got it has a work bike so its been out in snow,ice,rain the lot, He said if you like it right price its yours the bike is on a 08 reg with 16088 miles one owner with S/H, I went home had a chat with the wife went back round had an other look a better look this time with me thinking I could be having this monster, Iv seen on Ebay they are going for 3000-3500 pound that year and miles, I ask my mate how much you thinking....... He said I am in no need to sell it however your a mate and been in a bad way and I want to help you out take it for 1000 pound I was like OK nice one buzzing, ok needs some TLC I got a lot off bike for the money and the TLC can be done over winter, So the story off this is I am now a happy xt660x supermoto owner let the fun start :happy7:.

Hi and welcome
The xt is a great all rounder, I can't for see selling mine,
It's not a light weight race breed supermoto,
A tad hefty, but weight can be stripped. And there's lots of engine mods,
And with a top speed around a ton your licence is safer too ;)
You've got it for a great price, leaving plenty for sticky tyres and mods
Enjoy and ride safe

:006: Welcome on board mate.

I'm curious to see what you got for a grand? Pictures...

Thank you all for your replies back, I would get a photo on if I could however I don't no how to any help will be ace thank you, I am really looking forward to getting her out and :spanking[1]: some sport bikes hehehe :SPanikengun77: for a grand she is sound as a pound just needs some new parts added as some have rusted I am not worried about them just need to change them top off my head to make it mint like I like my bikes to be as we all do I will need to bang in about 350-450 pound and some hours in my garage which I enjoy.

I want to get and do.
pipes loud ones, stage 1 n 2 air filters, with it been black I am thinking green monster sticker kit, I am unsure off what else I can do!?!,
She needs new both wheel bearings, rear hub cush drive, rear wheel spindle I may as well do them when the wheels are out and are stripped, Engine bolts heads are rust change them,
Best place to get parts from please.

And a tail tidy :yahoo:

Just sign up to an image hosting site (Photobucket, Flickr, Dropbox etc...), then upload your pictures, click on the "insert image" button when creating your post and paste in a direct link (address) to the hosted image you want to display. We then get to see your XTX!

Oh there is a multitude of things you can do besides the airfilters/cans, a lot of which won’t break the bank and will make your bike run much smoothly! :D

Tip of the iceberg, but here are just a few useful starters…
