Hello from Israel

Hello!

I've started riding about 5 years ago. Unsure if I'm dirt or road kinda guy I started off with a WR250R. Loved that bike. Took it to work every day and on the weekends into the dirt. Turns out I love the dirt and the road. Not 50/50 though - more like 70/30 in favor of the dirt.

So, choices had to be made and I exchanged the WR250R for a 2 stroke and a scooter (if that's what you call it in English..). Got rid of that scooter pretty quickly and exchanged it for a car that could trailer the 2 stroke to the dirt

Nowadays traffic jams are sucking up all my time - that convinced me (and more importantly, my better half) that a bike can buy us some extra time - about 2.5 workdays / month.

People drive pretty crazy here + most of the way to work I could go through back / dirt roads + traveling around in the weekend = XT660Z, right?

Now looking into buying a 2015 model with about 30k km on it. I'm taking it for a 'check' as I'm not that mechanically inclined. Hope that the bike is in OK shape and that'll be riding around next week.

Hope to learn more about the bike going through these forums!

Greetings!
