Talking Hello ! Newbie here !

Hi Guys,

I am new here but I have been reading this forum for a long time. I have just bought a XT660Z and live in the UK. I really love the sound and the feeling of the single cylinder. This thing feels rock solid, agile and precise. I'm very happy with my purchase. I had never ridden the bike before I just knew that was my bike. Here I am !

I did the same. Bought a new one in 2008 without even having seen one, never mind riding one. I've still got it eight years on, longer than any other new bike I've had, which says it all.

Enjoy and ride safe.

I've had 4 bikes prior to the XTZ Tenere which I love, and I'm hoping there's someone out there keeping one for me in a garage for when I need to buy another one! Still, I'm happy to put 100k km's on this bike. Reliability and general ability to do virtually anything whilst still being light on fuel gets my respect every time.
Welcome to the forum..
