SOLD the XTX for a Super Ten 1200. And just bought a Raptor 700 so staying on here for some tips....

Cool old classic, should have hung onto my '83 Tenna. No surging whatsoever on those engines but man did I have gearbox problems.
350k kms is legendary.

Got the 1VJ in blue. And there is no surging indeed. And with the softish suspension with huge travel its like riding a sofa.
Gearbox is weak though and 350K on one is unheard of. Mine was just once around the clock and all internals were to shot.

Good to see them still going.

Lovely!

Same here - had a 3AJ that i did ~67000km on - mostly coomuting but also a bit green stuff, but unfortunately no travelling. Also had a Super Tenere for some years but are now back to basic with a single cylinder.

Eeh that takes me back, i had a 92 XTZ 750 Super Ten in black & purple & i loved it. It used to start & run on one cylinder until you got half way down the road then the other one would kick in
