Hi, I am from Guisborough and have a 2010 XTR. Ipreviously rode bigger sports tourers but have had a few singles before. My son is just 17 and on a WR125 Yam so wanted to ride with him and down sized. I also take the younger lad 12 year old on the bike. We also dabble with trials bikes. Twin Shock OSSA MAR 1974 for me. The young one also has a KX 85 Crosser. Love the XTR, it's standard apart from me having fitted a Touratech Sump Guard, heated grips and a pair of after market pipes. (Mainly for the look and sound). It's great fun within legal speeds and a hoot on the minor roads around the NY Moors near where I live. I have had the XTR a few months and have not done much on it. It's a boys toy!! Looking forward to summer and some longer trips. It's got Metzler Tourances on but fancy something with a little more mud capability as I tried a muddy lane and it was a bit hairy!! I had the boy on the back mind and could not stand up as he thinks I will fart in his face. I would mind you. Looking forward to the forums.
