Hello and welcome. I haven't got experience of the bikes you mention in the 1st sence, but have mates who own the others.

The Triumph looks a great bike as does the BMW, however both are fairly heavy. Better for 2 up adventures and high speed cruising though.

The XT660Z is an awesome bike. I know of three guys who own them. One had done over 50,000mls on his till a car took him out on a duel carriageway and trashed the bike. My mate Steve who is on here has done I think over 30,000mls on his in two years I think and the thing just keeps on going. Good on fuel and you can get a brand new one for £5,799!!!

No, W6 is Hammersmith.

Are you planning to go to the Ace Cafe this Sunday?

Sweet stuff. And very well maintained.

How does it ride? 750 - 2 cylinder. Same category as the Africa Twin and the Suzuki Big DR.
