the guy in it is a pro (i presume) but to be fair he is thrashing the s10 offroad!

Just goes to show it could be as good as its wee brother offroad!

Still wouldnt fancy trying ot pick it up though!

XT660z......What a machine!!

Current mods:- Yamaha top box, Yamaha hanguards, Heated grips, High front fender, Aux lighting front/rear.

Tats a good little video, I think it shows you what the S10 can do in standard trim. Gives you a good idea if that amount of offroading its acceptable to you.

Its actually fairly easy to do what he was doing. The TCS in mode 2 allows almost anybody to slide the bike without throwing it away.

And its easy to pick up too.

This is me showing how easy it is.

I think you must be easily impressed. My V Strom'll do most if not all of that terrain, from what I saw on the video. I think it's a case of just not being bothered about dropping the bike - in truth, that's the most noticeable inhibiting factor, not the bike. Most people are just overly cautious about dropping their pride and joy.
I'd say it would have to be shown on a lot more difficult terrain than that to be the equal of the 660Z.

I disagree... I'm not worried about dropping my WR but i'm still **** off road
