XT660Z finally roadlegal!

Yesterday i received my official papers for my XT660Z.
I've imported a great XT660Z from a German enthusiast who had to let it go.

My bike:




I've had a Africa Twin before with which i experienced some great adventures. Two months ago i decided it's time for new dreams and great trips and i pulled the trigger on this baby.

The procedure to get it registered and road legal has been a bit of a pain with bureaucratic nonsense. I've imported before, but that was a much quicker proces. Unfortunatly this changed
hopefully i can get a license plate tomorrow. And hopefully the roads will be saltfree, so i can ride it

Welcome & enjoy.
Sweet ride, I'm sure it's the bike I've seen on goggle images.

Today i already had loads of fun on my first real ride. It has less then half the power of my Tiger 1050, and the cornering isn't as confident yet, but what machine...

Taking speedbumps and such high speed without noticing is great fun. Also the "lack" of power is no issue. It's kind of a good thing that full throttle through the gears takes longer and doesnt throw you into warp speed.

I found a Dyno in the documentation:

It's all very white, bit like Richard Hammond's teeth - going to take some effort to keep it looking that shiny!

48PS/60Nm looks about right for a DNA stage 2 set up, O2 Optimizer and Power Commander. I can see the Akrapovic cans, but what you got under the seat?
