Hi everyone, Im from Birmingham UK and and new to motorcycling again after 5 years or so. I recently have had a 125cc Yamaha Vity scooter and enjoy very much, but always had an eye on an XTR from my local dealers Tamworth Yamaha as my second or next bike in the not too distant future. I highly recommend these as a dealer, very good service. On my last visit there Ashley pulled out an XTR for me to have a sit on. Took hold of the bars and pulled it upright off the stand to have a sit on it...crikey its heavy and the tail end requires a good leg lift to get over. Am I put off??? I still like them and I know the white XTR is what I want and that suspension travel looks very wonderful. I should add Im in my 50s now and passed my test and had quite a few bikes in my time from 16 years of age with 4 times renaissance back into bikes.
