Lightbulb Greetings - Thinking about buying an XT Q: Please

Hi all,

As a 6"2 rider I am looking for a sumo type machine (owned an XR400R) that is big enough to pillion. I'm looking at a 2005 YAMAHA XT660X and was wondering what I'm getting into....

Most of the other PURE sumo's just don't work 2-up.

Look forward to this forum as I believe the stock bike needs some attention to make it Wizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hi I'm over 6'4 and love the xtx, the wife has jumped on the back a few times for trips out and it's been fine,
I don't think any bike is really great 2 up, unless it's a pan european or a goldwing or of that ilk
