New year new idea...
Hello all and a happy new year to one and all.
I'm a biker of 20+years and even after a near death RTA 2 years ago still enjoy my bikes. I've got too many (wife's words not mine) but I'm thinking of an xt660x.
I bought a DRZ400 recently for my son for when he passes his next test and whilst I'm a huge Suzuki fan I find the little DRZ a bit to "revvy" for me and I stumbled upon the xt660 idea.
I'm not in a major rush to buy so I will keep looking but my ask would be from current owners of the 660 is what do I buy?
Is there any major difference in production years? Is mileage important? what ones do I avoid and so on? I've read bits about the tuning mods and so on but before I part with my cash I'd like to know what I should be looking out for? My XT would be purely for pleasure. Ride outs with my son and so on. I'm not a super speed demon and don't need to have the latest 1g weight saving speedo cable and the likes just a bike that will plod on and accept me being in charge of maintenance.
Many thanks in advance for any tips and hints that might be shared.
