thanks Guys... an Tony.. im a right in thinkin here ye have a TEN,,, what happened tae the Plastic Pig ye bought,, is that just history now... i cant remember yo u having a TENI went to see a XTX the day there,, a 08 plate,, wi the gold wheels like you had,, it had 2021 miles on it.. it looked like it was NEW right out o the box wi CC on it...2800 it was real nice... but a prefered ma R tae tell ye the truth... ave the chance o a Ten... an all a kept reading was that its bad fur buffeting around the head... an the only Ten ave ever had a go on was this one when it was new 2.5 years ago, when it had 1000 miles on it, but ma trip wasnt long enough to report onit...

I like the fact that the TEN is higher... an ad get the seat sculptered better if that was thge case.. but a cant seem tae get ma head around the buffeting......pardon the pun.... as am tall 6`5" no doubt ma head will be higher than the screen... i dont intend doin LONG trips onit it wid only be fur hoonin around the back roads...

my xtr has had a good oil an filter change , higher dog bones fitted, Carbon cans, Tourtech barbque bash plate on it, rear rack, sheepskin,[of course] new chain an sprocks one down in the front, anits a 56 plate... wi 12000 ml;es on it...will a change it after doin all that to it....a cant seem tae make ma mind up.....is it worth it...a suppose its only me who can answer that... I like the ten... an as we all know before the TEN the X was the bees knees fur looks...... I like teh X... i also like teh R as the potentials there fur tae go off road... an a also like the TEN,, but a dont know if its as sporty as teh R or the X... as its a kinda out an out Tourer rather than a back roads Hooner........ what do you guys say tae that...... answers on a postcard please...... thanks, john
