I agree with you, and it is possible that it grows on you

Allright, maybe that explains the difference in steering between XTX/XTR mentioned earlier.

I agree with you, in these pictures both bikes look great! Moving the front fender/wing (unsure of the name of the protector that sits above the front wheel) up a bit really changes the appearance of the Tenere. But for now I think I'll keep looking for a XTR. Are there no ads for bikes on xt660.com?
