Hi guys thought I'd do the done thing an drop in for the introductory first post.

I'm Eric obviously. I'm from Dublin Ireland. I'm not yet an xt660 owner but hope to be soon so I've signed up to gain a bit of knowledge on the z tenere in pertucular. I've never owned a Yamaha so interested to see what their like.

I'm not new to biking having started years ago now on a KMX125. I then movers to a TSR125 and after a while jumped to a BMW GS1150r. There has since been 2 x Africa twin RD07's and an Africa Twin RD04. 2 x KTM 640 adventures one I still have but the new owner is picking it up on Tuesday hence the xt660z move. I currently have my baby though. A KTM 950 adv s. The longest bike I have ever owned. I've also had 2 Enduro bikes a KTM 525 and a KTM 450 exc.
Here's a pic of the current bikes.

:006 Welcome on board Eric.

Thanks or the welcome guys. The 640 sold and I have been waiting around for an xt 660 z to come up for sale here in ireland. Viewed one yesterday but it wasn't to be. I have bought a 525 MXC while I'm waiting on a tenere to come along.

Anyway. Thanks for the welcome and advice so far on the XT660z.
