However it was a bike that was either 'on or off'....performance in bucket loads,outstanding brakes and a seat like a razor blade.

I sold it after it was stolen and miraculously recovered. The police actually were looking for another stolen bike. They found it and mine yet the scrote still got away with it.

Minor damage,good insurance payout and profit when I sold it.

The XT,esp now modded, is giving me so much more riding pleasure and comfort.

I don't regret for a minute selling the CCM.

One day Id like a tiger 1050..but I like to think I'll keep the XT..pension permitting!!
It's not that the XT is a bad bike, mine has cans pc5 and has been set up on a dyno, goes well and its comfortable too, but it could do with a little less weight (so could I for that matter) and better suspension
