Still trying to work out excatly why XT660's are such a good fit for punters who own them, After a lifetime riding large 1 litre sport bikes I can't believe I'm on a 660 single trail bike & can't believe how much I just love this bike & have no plans to ever sell except maybe if they bring out a XT-700 road-trail version of the new Tenere with that brilliant MT-07 motor and even then I'll probably still keep the 660R because of that great connection between throttle & back wheel, and there's always the theory that it does everything you ask of it brilliantly & much more, but I still can't quite put my finger on what the X factor is with this bike but it's definatly there & I'm happy that other blokes around the world feel the same way.
