Hi All x or r

Hi all, just sold my trials bike. Previous to this it was an 89tenere 600.
Tbh she was a slow old bird.
I am looking at getting either a 660r or z not x as in title
Probably the former due to being able to save a grand.
X looks the part but apart from a bigger tank the specs are similar.
Your thoughts please
atb and happy new year.

All depends on what type of riding you're planning on doing. Are you planning any off road or will you be staying on the hard stuff?

Im thinking you will use it for a bit of off road and depends on how much money you have to spend, personally, although I love my Ten I had an R a couple of years ago and it was more comfy, other than crap underslung exhaust its a cracking bike.... but a Tenere looks much nicer and is cracking in other areas !!!
Tis a hard choice, lets hope you find your answers

Hi plugmugger and welcome aboard

Set your budget and get the best bike you can for what you can afford (or are prepared to pay), either R of Z, they both sound like they'll fit the bill. As you intimate, you'll probably get wider choice of good machines at a lower price if you plump for an R.

Thanks guys.
Maybe a bit of laneing. Nothing to demanding. A bit of hooning around and trips up to 250 miles max.
Comfort would play a big part.
Would like a bit of wind protection. Can you get some kind of screen for the r?.
Tenere sure is prety!!
Also like the rev counter on the z.
Any options on one for the r?.

Click on the image for the price - but prepare yourself first!

On a serious note, there are many other cheaper screens from various companies (Powerbronze, Skidmarx, Yamaha etc.)
