    They are here - 2 XT660r's

    I picked mine up yesterday - with 390 miles on the clock of am 18month old bike. It's nearly got 600 on it now. Anne got hers last week. Also lowish mileage at 1900 but 12 months old. We had a run round the lake district today and lurved the bikes - light nimble, quick enough and surprisingly comfortable. But not motorway mile munchers.





    My bike...


    Annes bike...


    Will adding some farkles before long. I think I had better take a big bag to the NEC bike show - it's going to be an expensive day.

    Nice one... The bigg screens are brilliant on them as is the Hepco and becker rack. As for M/way miles I found mine plenty willing at 70-75 all day and was one of the most comfortable of any of my bikes. The only downside is there ability to fur up and look manky if using through the winter

    Looks like you found a cracking pair of bikes.

    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?
