Hey guys I am the proud owner of a well used 660z it has been through south American with the previous owner (20000k). Bike is still going strong just got back from a 7 day ride through the mountains and lakes of the south island of NZ. I was really surprised how well the bike handles the rough stuff off road. I previously had a WR450 and thought I wouldn't be able to ride the 660 over the same terrain, but other than been a little slower it is doing just as good a job. Would be nice to have better suspension as I have bottomed the bike out a few times. I am going to do a few mods then I will be extremely happy with the bike. It is a true duel purpose machine.

Thanks Jono

p.s fantastic fourm and website

Hi Pete, do you come back up to Blenheim much. Be good to go for a ride with ya. Did you buy your suspension upgrade hear in NZ or did you import it. Will look into DBK1 for next year.

Pleiades thanks for the reply to my question about mods. Since I am a supporting member now it is a lot easier to find the info in the ask Kev section.

Cheers
