You need to be in the right gear at the right time and if your not it will fall flat on its face like singles do any of the others will dig you out of a hole not matter how ham fisted you want to be.
Don't confuse that with me not enjoying riding it because I do and it can be ridden quickly but it takes a lot of application that Twins and Multi's do not and the same applies to beginners or guys like me at the end of a long career riding bikes..

the think is live in cyprus, and i dont have many bike choices when it comes to super moto style like the xtx
sounds like its gonna need some getting used to!

The XTX is a very simple and tough bike and if you fit some hand guards and some rear pannier holders will also survive the abuse that a neo rider is bound to give it, and it is quite cheap to run and to repair. I always used mine in all weathers and she never let me down.
And you can make her much better to ride by following the excellent tips on this wonderful site. Enjoy your bike!!!!

glad to hear this!
I wont be doing any wet driving soon tho! just on sunny days! hand guards and pannier holders will be orders as soon as i get the bike! wont be modding the bike really, maybe a set of 2 sportier tailpipes and some of the mods listed on here to make it run better but no performance mods. At least for now :P
