I have recently completed a trip of South America on a XT600 and although it only had its standard 15ltr fuel tank I only once used the contents of a 5ltr fuel can for the whole trip,the XT was absolutely perfect for the job,not fast but slow enough to see the world around me and brilliant off-road even loaded up.On my return I have since sold the XT and bought a BMW 800 GS,what a complete load of S--T.On paper it ticked all the right boxes but in reality its crap and I certainly would'nt take it any further than pushing distance of a BMW dealer.Right now I've got that off my chest if I had the chance to do a similar trip again it would be on a XT and more than likely the new Tenere which incidently I am thinking of getting the only issue only having a 30" inside leg seat height is a problem but I believe there are some mods available(maybe somebody could help).I have bought a stunning Africa Twin to replace the Bavarian Bollock Dropper and off to France for a few days.I hope I have helped with anybodys decision in what to get.
