I am 54 years old and I feel great when I drive on two wheels. I have had 6 different motorcycles (classics and cruiser style) - until December 2016 I bought xt 660r black 2009 with a mileage of 6221km. By now, I have gone through 3000km and it seems that I do not have to exchange more motorcycles, I'm happy with xt. I want to go through some tracks in 2018 at http://www.transeurotrail.org/. I hope with your help to prepare yourself and XT better.
