Newbie from Sweden

Hi,

Just became a member and thought I'd introduce myself. I've been riding different types of motorcycles for about 15 years. I don't currently own an XT660 but I am seriously considering buying one for the coming season. However, I'm having trouble deciding on which one I'm most interested in (X, R or Z). They all have their good and bad stuff and all of them are in their own way applicable to my needs. I hope the information on this site/forum can help med decide and once the decision is made I'm sure it will be a valueble source of information on mods that needs to be done.

No, well, maybe. I friend of mine's got a Z and I'm sure I could wrestle up an R and an X f�r test drive come spring. It's frustrating to wait that long though.

I've discussed the issue with the Z-friend long and hard and I'm currently leaning towards the R due to the fact that it's kinda "the middle of the road". Nothing is certain yet though. I'm gonna take a closer look at all of them IRL this week at the National Bike Fair in Stockholm (if they're displayed there of course).

Welcome aboard and we need more Swedes mate, and ps the XT660 is surely much cheaper than beer (at your prices). Have fun xxxx
