This is a very tidy bike and would be a great bike for a beginner adventure rider I agree...
Delphinus and I rode around a fair portion of the South Island early this year,I tried out the XT,was fine for my height

I keep trying but since my arms are like that man in the TORDON add (toothpicks) i'm still trying

One day you can pick Tenzing up when I drop him and we'll call it even
