Re: A new "real" motorcycle
Are you referring to your XT 600 ? A good bit of gear but I'd prefer an XT 550, just because they're smaller and lighter . They're a bit rare and every one I look at has a hole in the casing near the kickstart . Maybe there's a message there ?

Re: A new "real" motorcycle
I love my XT600, it would be nice if it were lighter but I wouldn't want to sacrifice dual disc brakes the. Motor, with it's dual carb, dual header system, produces the kind of low end grunt a big single should produce, and then revs out very well. It also has the hole. I had an XT500 that was very good, but some felcher stole it.Sibbo wrote:Are you referring to your XT 600 ? A good bit of gear but I'd prefer an XT 550, just because they're smaller and lighter .
