Ryan09 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 From what iv heard they are good bikes, reliable and comfy for a supermoto but arnt overly powerful and i cant imagine being great on a motorway as its a supermoto (i never enjoyed motorways on my sm) Would be ideal as a city commuter bike.

Moderator mervin Posted February 20, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 20, 2012 I know of a guy on the honda trailbike forum that bought one did 33,000 miles in a year before he decided it was not the bike for long distance riding so cannot be all bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy10bikes Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I have an XT660R and i find it fantastic for my use which is mainly countryside and commuting to work. Whilst it is a great bike i wouldnt like to do lots of motorway riding at high speed, Hope it helps TTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan09 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 They wouldnt be great on a motorway as they arnt very aero dynamic so youll feel higher speeds a lot more and youll feel uncomfortable as youre chest is just being blasted with wind.
