He advertises it as a 2008, then says it was built in 2003 and stored for 5 years. A bit misleading.

**warewolf** · 16th August 2009, 19:08

It's sold as TTR600, got TTR250 sidecovers and an XTR (660) handlebar pad.

Bitsa!

Not a bad bike underneath all that. I'm led to believe the TTR600 (Belgarda?) was a pretty handy thing.

The TTR's were nice standard, but the XT600 motor in them is just too gutless for a motard. Ok as the original dirt bike, with Ohlins shock etc, they handled well , performed as well as a XR650. Kick start only though.
Ain't that special really, but I guess he wants to recover some of the money spent spec-ing it up. Like the Excel rims and Paioli forks.
Same bloke sold a nice modded XTX660 last year.

But... but... the chrome, oh god the chrome....

**Waihou Thumper** · 16th August 2009, 20:34

BUT, for an adventure bike, Naa, for a Motard, Naa, far better around....
This is just a shopping basket, Starbucks, poser bike........
sort of like my KTM...

, NOT......

Expensive, nice chrome, nice gear but at the end of the day as CrazyFrog says, it is an old bike for a lot of money....
