XT660 is no more. The aging Minarelli engine would need far to much investment for it to meet EURO IV emissions regulations.

EURO IV comes into effect on January 1st 2017. The UK will still be part of the EU then. Plus, I can't see Yamaha carrying on production just for what is a tiny UK market - they've only sold 17 XTZs from old stock so far in 2016! All remaining stock must be pre-registered by dealers before 31/12/2016 or no one will be able to sell them - expect some bargains to be had.
The production capacity in France is now completely taken up by MT-07, XSR700 models already (and soon to be XT700Z). An XT660 hasn't come off the production line since December 2015.
