    So you concider them a basic, no frills bike
    that will do its job without hassels
    for a decent amount of time.
    A relyable daily commutor.
    which is what I am after

    Am told they're very reliable if not a little boring. Look OK.

    It's pretty much the same motor as the XT400, which is more or less a sleeved down XT600/SRX600. So most of the mechanicals are way under stressed. They don't suffer the 5th gear problems the 600s do .

    Not a ball of fire though.

    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.
