HI guys!

I need your expert xt660 owners' advice!
Im super excited! Im back aching to ride again. 10 years ago they stole my beloved xt600e out my yard (sad) but now the bike bug has bitten me again. Hard. Im looking to buy a second hand 660r or 660 Tenere. Ill mostly be doig road with a good helping of dirt roads, not so much pure off-roading. I am looking for a bike that has a high(er) cruising speed first of all. That is my biggest criteria. HELP!!!!!!

1) Ive heard that the Tenere has a cruising speed of around 120km\h. Is that correct, and can the bike do that all day long? Is it possible to tune the R to cruise like that too?

2) Why is the Tenere 30kg heavier and how does that make a difference on the road and light trails? Does fitting a single pipe make a noticeable weight difference?

3) Is it worth it to mod an R to make it a "Tenere"?

4) Which one is lighter on fuel?

Thanks for your advice!!!!


****BTW Im also looking at a second hand KTM 950 Adventure for the same price but I dont know KTM that well and Im also worried about how expensive its parts may be...
