Hallo from Cape Town, South Africa!
 
Hi Guys,

Been monitoring your forum for a while now while I was in the process of purchasing my XT660z.

Picking it up in 30 mins and very excited! Sold my KLR on Monday to buy the 660. :bounce016:

Many people told me the two are relatively the same bike, however after riding the 660 I would strongly argue against that. The 660 is a much better bike.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and having some good chats here!

Welcome.

The KLR is solid and reliable performer. I prefer the older ones personally.
I looked at the KLR before buying my XT660R.

Cheers mate.

Hi Bos, nice to see a fellow Capetonian on here. Mixed feelings, I do miss the lovely Cape dunes and beaches to play on (well we were allowed in my day), but England and especially Wales have some pretty stuning rides too. I am still amazed at all the public byways we have access to, and that semi-knobbies and no turn signals are ok on the road here. South Africa was stricter in that respect. No if only we can have as much sun in the UK, then i would never gripe again.
PS I moved to the UK 18 years ago, so you see my dilemma
