Greetings all!

Hello ladies and gentlepeople,

I'm new on the forum and I want to buy an XT as soon as I get my license. I hope to gather as much information as possible before buying. There is only one setback, and that is my dog which might need surgery in the next couple of months which will affect my budget.

Greetings


Yves

Thanks! I already noticed there's a ton of info on this forum, what interests me most if people sharing their first hand information about living with an XT.

I am leaning towards either the R or Z(most towards the Z except they are quite a bit more expensive). The X seems least practical and is mostly ridden by prats around my area.

Regarding the dog, she has issues with her anterior cruciate ligament, op costs between 1500 and 2000 euros. She's just over two years old and such a perfect dog that I can't bring myself to have her put down.

All Hail the mighty Z!!!! I have owned both the R and the Z and my old man owned the X. I love my Zthe most and wont be looking back

As for the pooch, I spent �800 on my cat when it burnt itself as it was 15 weeks old...so I understand your predicament. best of luck with both chap

Welcome aboard mate.

Good luck with the license and getting yourself an XT660. (Z of course )
