Firstly,welcome to the forum Thumbs Up

IMO it look's quite shit really,i'm usually a big fan of this kind of bike,but the styling of the newer bikes just dont look right imo.
It's like the dtr125's.I have always loved them,but the new shape ones are just fucking ugly.
Obviously not many other people share my opinion,but you did ask for comments...
As long as you like it,it's all that counts Neutral Thumbs Up

Hi and welcome

I am the total opposite of justmetoo125 above.

I usually hate these kind of bikes but that looks ace imo, would own one if i was after something like that Thumbs Up

Each to their own i suppose!

Too big to be a proper supermoto, but looks nice.

I was thinking about getting one but, they are too underpowered and lardy. It's 165kg and 47bhp, I went for a TDM in the end 190kg 90bhp.

I love the look of them though and if those are akrapovic cans it must sound like the world is ending.

You can think that but they really don't, MCN tested 42 at the wheel.

Yamaha's web site says 35.3 kW which is 48bhp.


That is less power than a GS500, it weights about the same too.

They may be underpowered and lardy, but you can still have a great deal of fun at speeds where you are not going to lose your licence.

Which one do you mean??????
I meant sort of top speed wise. They will cruise about 90 odd and top just over 100 so shouldn't be too bad. I suppose its just what you do getting up there????

Yeah was a good day although very wet and misty (you might have liked that bit). The wrong gear bit was Fosters not me.

Not as good looking as the old XT600s, but you could have done much worse.




You could have got a new XLZ Sick

i think they look ace,
but in my eyes the only thing that lets it down, is the fact that the exhaust runs under the bike.,

i know that you arn't saposed to go off road and over logs and what not, but i wouldnt be able to help myself Very Happy

Fairly nice looking swingarm, but look at the overall picture, bit too much plastics.

old XT was basically a road legal dacar bike, and has the look to suit, the nex XT just looks like another big supermoto.
