Don't be grumpy

it doesn't offer a single thing over your present ride

except jerky fuel injection and ugly looks

There are a couple in the country as private imports, They look better in the flesh than in pictures, but I'm still dubious about the amount of breakable plastic around the tank. I was disappointed with the specs on it's suspension tho, thought Yamaha would make it better than the XTX660, but it's the same.
Yamaha NZ hasn't brought any into the country yet (to my knowledge).

I was just curious as there is talk of them being in Australia by September.

Filco have them on their website saying they are coming to NZ but don't say when.

Last talking to Filco a lil while ago they should have been here soon & thinking around $15K but noone wants to say for sure. Maybe they don't really exist... a conspiracy perhaps.

Personally I think they're horny beasts & plastic - yeah well drop it break it replace it thats the cycle isn't it?

I'm just grumpy I haven't managed to scab a ride on someones yet. I have a mission to ride every adv bike there is...

Which bikes and whose (who's) have you ridden so far. My list so far is:

1 KLR650...........Woodman.

Mind you Warewolf let me sit on his KTM the other night and Topo offered me a ride on his, mind you he had been drinking.

Ridden many without their owners knowledge & permission. Totally rooted Jatz' suspension jumping at end of track beside Pigeon Valley/ Rosedale/fuknose road. Oh no hang on that was him
