Oh yes! I started my motorcycle life with an XT500(around 1978....) and upgraded from there to an XT550, XT600, XT600Z Tenere(3AJ), XTZ660 Tenere(5-valve), XT600E to this XT660Z Tenere('08), with some Harleys in between.....
I Always liked the looks and style of the XT's, besides they're very rideable in every situation, is it for long hauls, but even better on backroads, offroad, mountain climbin' and city cruisin', they can do it all! With my current XT I've done 108.000km's+ without any problems(only camchain&tensioner are replaced recently, besides the OEM breather under warranty in '09), only regular maintenance and TLC: they're very reliable and strong bikes! And probably most important: lotsa fun to ride! And true, it is also a very good travel companion. I think it is a pity they'll stop making them, therefore I'll cherish mine for more km's to come!
