Needed a new bike and was torn between an 06 640 ktm sm with 8000 miles �3500 or a mint 09 xtx with 14 months warranty, 2 months breakdown cover, 1 owner, white and only 587 miles all for �3400. I plumbed for the xtx (aways been a Yamaha fan from my fs1e days) and have only ridden 50 miles so far (all today) and I have to say I'm impressed by the smooth power (for a single), on the motorway it pulled from 70 to 90 with a fair amount of force so I'm really pleased, even through town was a breeze with no surging just really smooth power. The clutch lever was a tad stiff but hopefully will ease with time but the bike handled well and was really comfy even today in 0.5C conditions gave it a proper wash when I got home (looks like new again). So far so good and can't wait to get back out (in warmer conditions).

will give an update once more miles are clocked up.
