I had an XT660R back in 2007-8 but sold it and went through some faster and flashier machinery. However, I am now selling my BMW 650 and getting another XT660R. I was a member here in 2007 but haven't posted since then, so I am treating myself as a noob. I was also a mod for a while on the 'other forum', but I hope you won't hold that against me
On Saturday (if all goes well) I will exchange the F650 for a 2006 XT660R in blue. It will be my daily driver, allowing me to retire and refurb my XT600E, and I plan to do some serious touring on it next summer. My last trip was round France and Germany with my daughter on a Triumph Sprint. She loved it, but commented 'next time, can we go half as fast and see twice as much?' Hence the BMW, which is a great bike but dull as ditchwater. I can't wait to get back on an XT. Greetings once more to you all.
