Hello from Beverley, East Yorkshire
Hello everyone
I've just joined as I'm seriously looking at XT660R/X's at the mo and I'm undecided and need some advice.... I own a Guzzi Breva 1100 and love it (think Beemer GS without the stilts, with added character and soundtrack). Shift work means my days off are often when the wife/kids are at school/work and I've been making my escapes camping with the bike on 2-3 day tours. Of late, the roads I've been discovering have been getting smaller/rougher and I fancy something a bit more manageable to carry the camp gear and me - but still have fun on. Initially I'd set myself up to get an R as I fancied a bit of wild camping/BOATing....but I do like to attack the bends a bit too so the X might be better. I did a Supermoto experience day and loved it Q. 1. How suitable is the X for <70mph all day riding compared to the R - are they equal in comfort. 2. Are the R's brakes as weak as they're made out to be? 3. Lacking in off-road experience other than a day on a TTR250 - will I be mad trying to green lane an X? Thanks in advance, Neil My current (only) steed: Last edited by Dah-Dit; 22-01-14 at 22:00. |
