Looking at buying an XT660X, need help

Hi people, looking at getting an XTX (2004 - 2008) but when I read reviews (which arent indeath really) I see there are alot of negatives, also MCN's review isnt great.

I would be using the bike as a everyday bike with a few 500mile journeys a year and cant find the personal user reviews that actually matter to me, good or bad.

I would like to know about this surgie fuel injection that MCN talk about

They say 90mph is all you should expect is this true (is it capable to stick to 90mph costantly for long periods of time)

What is the average MPG for a hooligan rider lol

Also general things like

How reliable is it

servicing - is it easy to do yourself and what is the intervals (is there any big services needed at certain points)

when do the valves need doing and is this easy

how is it for comfort

Any feedback or further info is apperciated and your personal oppinions would be greatful/helpful in helping me decide in buying one.

If it helps my last 2 bikes were an R6 and KTM 640

R6 = good long distance, rubbish round town
KTM = fun round town and to and from work, not sure on long distance reliability.

So would like a bike inbetween and this bike came to mind
