Hi Guys..after a lapse in biking I decided to get myself another bike and its prob going to be an XT..Friend has just bought a KTM 690 which is fab but out of my price limit of around �3500..!

I will be using the bike for general road use ..unlikely I would go off road methinks..

Im 5' 8" inside leg 30" which means I dont want a tall machine..is the R the best model for all round use?

Thanks!!

So why a dirt bike ?
A XTX would prob suite you best...
good on the road.. right tyres will
do easyer offroad duty...

If yer after a low dirt bike mainly for
road use... BMW F650 only have
a 790mm (31") seat hight..

Why a dirt bike?

I just want a lightweight bike for all round use thats fun to ride..most reviews seem to say the XT660 is just that!

Hey Phil, welcome to the forum-i'd heartily recommend the XT660X

Rarely offroad?

Unless you want to ride on the dirt with your 690 straddling mate you would be better off looking at the motard XT660X.

Ride em both & see what you reckon.

R is great for dual-purpose/light adventure, X would be better for on-road use.

IMHO anyway. Cheers, Boneman

Welcome - XT's punch well above their weight - wise choice and good luck..

Hey Philgood & welcome to a great site. These blokes will certainly give you all the good oil. XTs are definitely a good choice. I've had a 250 & a 600, & had nothing but good experiences with them (except both were kickstarts back then, & occasionally the 600 gave me a bit of curry in summer).

I'm going to be getting a new 660 Tenere in a couple months, and I can't wait.

Looking forward to hearing what you decide on.
