    Gettin on with the TA

    Well I've had this 2 weeks
    And so far its better than my 650 Alp, far better than my GSA, and on a par with the XT660, although smoother






    A nice bit of Wales finest slag



    It does the off road so well albeit slower than the XR, the Humm should be fun

    Silly question time - in what way is your 600 better than your previous 650??

    Is it in any way quantifiable? Or is it just a feeling and nothing in particular that you can put your finger on?

    Just curious.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Its better than the 650 for me ,off road it feels easier, maybe because its not worth so much and it doesnt feel so heavy up front. It has been a while since I rode the 650 but the 600 feels just as quick, but either way its great on a v twin again

    Nice one Phil

    I loved my 600, they are surprislingly good off-road as long as you don't go too mad

    I'd have another anyday, great 'all-round' bike.
