Hi there.

I traded my 2007 R1 in for the XTX last year as I fancied something different after 17 years of sports bikes.

Since the frosty weather has disappeared, I am now using the bike to travel to work and back every day which is a 60 mile round trip.

So far I have only done just over 1000 miles on it but it has been the most comfortable 1000 miles I have done and there is no wrist pain.

One of the reasons for getting the XTX was the reliability of the Yamaha engine which as long as its serviced regularly is virtually bullet proof.

The only slight down side I have found is the wind hitting me directly in the chest at higher speeds which I'm hoping to remedy with the addition of an after market screen shortly.
