Just got a XT660R and it is the BEST around bike for a affordable price. Good video that still holds true!

Great video review! I have the X and i love it, these bike are incredibly fun!

Yeah good review mate. Really informative

XT660R may not have the desert racer look & bling of the XT660 Tenere but it's a whole lot lighter (25 KG ) which is a shitload on a motorbike & puts the R into the light weight Adventure bike category .. very rare animal.

Great video, I'm loving my XT660R!

I keep coming back to this wicked vid. Thank you

Many important aspects covered, thanks!

Very good video. Balanced amount of good information! Thank you❣️ The X is the one for me

I own a Husqvarna TE410 electric start at the moment, when i need something a bit bigger i think i get the xt660r. The previous model, the 600e has been a legend in my country, and it is still one of my favorite bikes. PS. Mister, you have some good off road riding skills!!

Thanks mate! The XT does have a pretty low seat hight, at least for an enduro bike & there's always the option to lower the rear end or put a lower seat on. I've got the Akrapovic Slip-On titanium pipes & didn't mess around with the mapping. :)

Hi! I want the same bag/hardcase carrier frame as u have! But i have choped the tail off my XT660r, so i dont have the original tail, with the long licenceplate/mudguard plate. Will your bag/hardcase frame fit my bike without original tail???

There are 2 options .Tow your wr250f . unload it .ride around .load it up & tow it home OR Ride your xt660z or xt66r to where you want to ride it then ride around & ride it home. Thats the reality.....

@richrides2308

True words man! For sure it is more fun to ride wherever you want on your bike and go offroading there. I usually put my 2stroke GasGas on the trailer for days on the track. I find it more relaxing to just put the bike on the trailer and drive home after an exhausting day riding. Big enduro bikes also might be slightly harder to ride when terrain gets gnarly ;)

Funny guy. You should have your own show .. other than this one of course. :)

Everything you said is true.

Hello RichRIDES, may i ask witch crassbars are you using? Did you ever had the problem of a bended breakpedal after crashing offroad on the ride side? D oes the crashbars protekt the breakpedal too? thx, Dima

@richrides2308

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Dima, the crashbars I've got on my XT660R are made by Hepco-Becker. I never had any problems with the break pedal getting bent after a crash, the crashbars don't directly protect the break pedal, but I don't think it is really necessary. Cheers! :)

atk 605 is light n top if line. cant get this in us

this video was great. I cant decide between crf250l or this what do you think? i have a motocross background and i currently a cbr600. I like the idea of doing on road and some off road (mainly lanes)

@richrides2308

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot! It really depends on how much onroad and offroad riding you want to do. If you plan on touring and only easy offroading I'd go with the big bike. For lots of technical trailriding and only a little bit of onroad I'd go with a light bike like the CRF250L. Obviously you could still ride gnarly stuff on the heavy bike or travel on a lightweight 250cc dirtbike, because it mainly depends on the rider. I hope this does help. Cheers!

I had an xt 600 z tenere, which vibrated so hard abover 100 km/h i almost had to let go of the bars. How are the vibes on this? Is it actually able to do 110-120 and be rideable for long trips?

Mine does that too, especially with offroad tires. I usually try to not ride faster than 110 km/h on road. At speeds like that it also starts to get a bit windy with the tiny windshield.

I'm about 190cm tall, which makes it pretty easy to reach the ground on any bike. Try to go for a test ride to see if it suits you. The XT's seat isn't too high :)

but they dont sell them in america, no reason why? but it sucks! so i bought a klr650 a few yrs ago, but done sold because i hated the pig, some love them but not me !

Haven't had a chance to ride a Tenere 700 yet, but from what I've read about the suspension alone, I'd get a Tenere 700. I'm not sure if I'd like the parallel twin engine though, I still really enjoy the feeling of the big single cylinder.

Have AFEW of the old 80s and on it's should of left them air cooled and just took weight off .and modern elect...then you'd have a bike .yamaha
