Took my new xt660x out today for its first decent run (180 miles) as the weather was good for the first time this year, think every man and his dog was out on there bikes today. Must say I really do love this little bike. Not the fastest but bags of fun. And comfortable to. And sounds like thunder. I know my fz1n is so much better. But the xt just puts a smile on my face. And that's what biking is about. Just love the thing.
