It was sort of the other way round for me! I research anything that I plan to buy, so I read as much about the xtx as I could before I bought one. At first I was worried as I had heard they have surging issues etc, but then I found this forum, read many of the topics, and realised I would be in the capable hands of Kev and co if I did have any troubles........so I got one! Best decision ever!

Luckily the bike I bought didn't have any problems, but I can sleep easy at night knowing that if I do come across 'a broken bridge' I will have a whole forum of knowledgeable people to help me 'cross that bridge'! I sort of imagine xt660.com to be the mechanics in the RAC advert where they are all walking to the broken down car singing I'll come to you (or something like that lol)

So yeah, THANKS CAPT, KEV, EVERYONE!!
