Hi all. XTz Scotland
 

Hi everyone. I've been a long time lurker, but just recently registered and thought I'd say Hi.

I'm just about to buy an 11reg xt660z for a bit of commuting, bit of trail work and some forrestry track blasting around Scotland, and perhaps beyond.

I've come from an enduro background, not racing, but overland in the remote hills of Argyll in Scotland. I've had both the Ktm exc 2t 300 & the 4t 525, so used to a wee bit of grunt to get over some at times tough terrain.

I've been considering an xtz for a while now, but as I'm only 175cm tall had a sneaky suspicion that it might be too tall for me. I tried one on for size a few days ago, and was relieved to find I can get the balls of both feet down, so no lowering required hopefully ;).

I'll get some decent pictures up of the beast when it arrives, and no doubt will get straight on to the Kev mod's required to get the most out of the stock engine.

Tbc........

Morning Phil, welcome to the funny farm.

You've got 10cms on me so I dont know what ye were worrying about!

You'll soon forget all about the height once you start enjoying.

Sandman.

:006: Welcome on board Phil

Welcome and enjoy the bike and this great site!!!

Welcome - it's a great site :)

Many thanks for the warm welcome guys.

The site looks great, and full of very knowledgeable folks.
I'll try and do as much research as I can before thinking about asking silly questions......promise ;).

Phil.

Hello Phil and welcome to :660:

:hello: and :welcome: to :660:

Some good and bad news on the bike front folks :(.

That 11reg xt660z I was gonna get was sold just before I was about to put a deposit down :(.





The good news however, is that I managed to source a 12reg with a quarter of the miles on it, and only 10 miles from my doorstep. And with a centrestand fitted, all for only �300 more than I was gonna buy the year older model for!

Gonna collect the bike later today, but here's a sneak preview......
