XT Alan Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 On the Super Sports. The ZX10 is right at the front, and sometimes winning, in British Superbike races straight out of the box without factory support. Even the starter motors are still in place. To me this indicates that the stock bike is definitely the "mostest" in terms of pure speed and handling. Weighed against this is the beautiful, highly evolved but slower R1. Hence - dead heat.

dibeydude85 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 you know i hate to say it but for a big trail - if your actually going on the trail the XR650 or even the beemer Dakar 650 are better that the new XT's no offence intended but the big bore XR is bloody amazing out on the trail.

XT Alan Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 you know i hate to say it but for a big trail - if your actually going on the trail the XR650 or even the beemer Dakar 650 are better that the new XT's no offence intended but the big bore XR is bloody amazing out on the trail. I wouldn't argue that the Beemer may be a little better off road, but Beemers ain't as well made as they used to be and I would back Yamaha build quality and reliability against a Beemer any day of the week. The new GS1200 has already had FOUR recalls and the 650 is a pretty flimsy bikF. The Honda XR650 is a much more specialised off road bike than the XT, but as a true dual purpose machine the Yammie has it beat, it is a brilliant road bike and a reasonable bike for soft trails. I wouldn't fancy 300 miles in a day on the Honda. The XR's true rival is the Yammy WF450 or Honda's CRF250 or one of the KTMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibeydude85 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 yeah fair point you have more experience with the XT,its just iv read a couple of reviews on how the XT is a dual purpose and not a trailie...and those bloomin exhausts piss me right off !!cant stand them underneath the engine!! :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
