Bye bye XTX
I had a test ride on an MT07 last year. I really wanted to like it but after 30 mins or so I felt it was too small and cramped for me.
Getting back on the XTX was a relief, but I'm sure someone had jammed my brakes on while I was on the test ride, it felt so slow. Roll on a few months and I saw a picture of the XSR700. Same engine, slightly higher seat and higher bars. Looked OK in a quirky way, but not pretty. Then my local dealer got a green and silver one in, they look way better in the flesh. A couple of weeks later they had a demo ready in yellow with the Yamaha speed blocks. Took it out for a couple of hours, came back and ordered one in yellow on the spot. Should be here within 2 weeks. I will miss the X, especially the exhaust sound, but I have had it 6 years and time for a change. I will soon have a pair of CCC Carbon cans and link pipes for sale if anyone is interested.
