You are spot on there CaptMoto. I went out last night following my cousin on his Aprilia Tuono tearing up the country lanes. Today I've done 150 miles around London following 4 monkey bikes. Now, an R1 would have been fun last night but no fun today at slow speeds cutting through traffic. An XTX is so much fun going fast or slow. Not many bikes can do both and also have a very comfy riding position. They are a blast and have a huge grin factor. I love 'em.
