Hi From Bucks
Hi All
I'm a newbiw to the site having had an XT660z for the last 2 months and I'm loving it!! Doing a commute into London I'm getting 58 mpg and still only taking 5 mins longer than my last bike (KTM 950 SM) sw33ney |

I'm only just in the door myself so probably inappropriate for me to welcome you! However, I'm sure you'll find this to be one of the most informative and best structured bike sites around. I always fancied the KTM 990SMT; somewhat surprised that you're not missing it. What is it about the XTZ that you like so much? I'm enjoying my XTR for commuting and B road fun but I feel that it's too unrefined and lacking in engine and braking performance to ever be my No. 1 bike. Perhaps that will change with time!

Hi From Bucks
Well i didnt say I didnt miss her!
The SM 950 is an awsome bike but for a commuter I'd started doign silly things coz she just egged me on! ![]() I also really appreciate that screen on a ten when riding up the M40 in the pouring rain!! |

Ha, neither you did! I've never ridden a Ten but my R has the tall Yamaha screen and although I don't particularly like the look of it, it's surprisingly effective so I can imagine that the Tenere's protection is even better.

Hey sw33ney,
I live in High Wycombe and I also have a Tenere. Think I saw yours being prepped in Brian Gray's a few weeks ago. Brand new blue with a load of Touratech bits? Catch up for a ride soon, maybe? Welcome to the forum.
