yes I too keep goin back to a xt.. ave always been a trail bike guy,, ave had cruisers, harleys, road bikes, an out of all ma 350 odd bikes,, ive always came back to a trail bike ,, an i think the xt, does it all... i too have had 5 varaderos.. good bikes,, but not as fun as the xt.. the xt to me is not too heavy. but heavy enough for it to stay planted,,, handles fine.. its punchy , an it looks great... great MPG.. so fur me the xt is teh only bike out there.. a dont think al get anything else.. ave had a few xt 600s an i do like them.. but the xt660 x or r is the bees knees
