been looking around and haven't been able to find anything bad about them, in fact most comments are that they are fun to ride. Any who i'm thinking of trading my 636 in for one but i want to know what others think of them.

I am Jack's complete lack of remorse .
I have riden one and loved it but i just want to here about any problem that they may have.
Feb/March issue of Bike Rider mag did a test....to quote the end.."it really is a bike for everyone,ride it to work and take your mates on in the weekend,and that says it all in a nutshell".actually that article was a good read,great lookin bike i reckon.If you want that mag sing out and i can post it up to you.

Have heard nothing bad about them,but then I've never come across anyone with one.(I presume you mean the new XT660) They are built in Italy I think.The motor is Yamaha's latest up grade of the single they've been making since they made the first modern big single back in the late '70's - they've all had an 84 mm stroke.Yamaha know how to make a big single.
I have owned an XT660X since December 05. I love it !. It is a huge amount of fun to ride on twisty back roads. The stock pipes are very heavy and restrictive , so i fitted a pair of Leo Vince x3 cans. What a huge difference to power output, it also boosted fuel economy (go figure?). I used tio have a Tl1000s and a zx12r previously , I do miss the power but the xt sticks out around 50hp which you can use all of it. brakes are very very good and handles like on rails. Top speed is about 165km/h. I have fitted a ventura pack system which makes it into a practical ride to work bike as well as a sunday thrasher. Rear tyre is very soft and mine is stuffed at 3500km. If would like to know anymore message me.

If you can read french I have and article (several jpegs) from a french magazine who stripped one at 50,000km and documented what they found.
My bro had a good fang on one the other day, he reckoned the power was fairly lame compared to my 640, so it looks like a set of decent cans as mentioned above is a must.
