After 12 years of sports bikes I recently changed to an XTX. Mainly for the purpose of saving my licence and also for a change.

Went out for a blast today with my brother on his r6. He and I have been riding together for years so we always have a very good riding relationship in terms of pace and each other's skill set. Today was the first ride with him since I have had the XT. It was brilliant. I was keeping up and it felt like I was doing 150 when in reality it was 60 to 70. All twisty B roads. The bike is so comfortable and easy to go quick on. Very impressed. What a cracking bike.
