Newbie - Why should I buy a XT660Z Tenere?
Hi my name is Ian T-J
In 1990 I rode my XT600 (with larger plastic tank) 5500 miles from Northern England to Turkey and back. It was a great trip, but the bike was so hard to start on the kickstarter and very hard to bump start. Please tell me why should I buy a new XT660Z Tenere???? http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...psd7036a49.jpg Im still riding bikes, one of my more recent road trips can be seen at :- https://vimeo.com/61872495 Thanks Ian T-J :evil6: |
Why should you not?

Depends on what you wants it to do ... I bought one as a good compromise on a budget (vehicle taxes are horrible in Denmark. The price of a new one is 13000�/20000$ and i saved quite a bit by finding a 2 year old that has only done 1600km. I would have likes an extra piston and 50% more power but like that it is lighter and easier to handle than my old 750. But since it is an ABS version it has also a lot less ground clearance, but i don't do much real offroad i will probably not be a problem. I prefer "greenlaning" over mudholes anyhow :-) A new tenere will do almost anything your old one could with the comfort of an electric starter :-) |
Yes Majland
Thanks for your reply. I need to sell another bike I have, then over the winter I will try and find a ZT660Z and of course the electric start is a must have these days! I assume there are no starting problems with the new XT660? |
