Hi Rob!
I did almost the same trip on a XT1200Z in the end of June, beginning of July.
We had a 5000km trip from the very south of Sweden, made a lot of alpine passes, rounded lake Garda
and headed north again to continue alpine pass driving. Great roads and views all over. The 1200 was
new to me and a bit to heavy handle even on the flat surface. Did not dare take it out on the small
roads in the woods alone. I sold it when I got back and have now the 660Z.
However, I�m also gonna buy a TDM900 soon. They are a bit pricy to be butchered. Have to find a used one.
But I�m gonna do what Yamaha should have done, make a XT900Z of it. I�m aiming to be just above the 660 in
weight at 190-200 kg dry weight.
Those thousands of hairpins.
