Hi all, I've just registered for this forum after reading some threads before when looking for info about the XT series. Seems to be a-looot of know-how in here, so why not join I thought!

Until recently I've ridden an AfricaTwin from -96, I've just parked it at my dads' place for him to sell this spring since I'm leaving for a round the world trip with my girlfriend for half-a-year.

When I get back I'll get myself a XT, but I haven't really figured out which year and type yet.
Thinking of an XT600 from like 90-95, robust, simple and cheap to buy and own.
Don't care that much about the finish since I want to rip some serious gravel with it!

Well, that's about it, I will be dig myself into some more specs and tech about the XT from now on to get my mind straight on the type I really want.

If anyone would feel like it, you're welcome to post a reply to this thread for some pros' and cons' about the different models (including the new Tener�, Z), and common problems with the Yamahas' engines or quality issues. I'll be sure to read them!

See you around!
