Yamaha XT660X review

The Yamaha XT660X motorcycle - goes where you want. It is meant less to be used for rally but more for the serious traveler.Yamaha XT660 X seems to eat up most types of traffic and roads, it`s versatile and easy to ride, you can have as much fun as you can possible have on any bike riding at normal speed limits and keeping your licence safe. For 2004, the XT 660 X has been completely redesigned and now features a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor with a 100mm bore and 84mm stroke. The motor also features a forged piston running a compression ratio of 10:1 in a ceramic-composite plated bore.

A new fuel injection system with a 44mm throttle body feeds the all new SOHC, four-valve cylinder-head, and twin big-bore exhausts let the engine breathe nicely.The power delivery from the XT is very snappy indeed, the torque delivery is pretty flat and that just encourages you to get aggressive on the acceleration out of corners. This bike seems to handle all types of roads and every type of road surface you care to throw at it, it stable on fast roads and will tackle motorways for reasonable distances at well more than the legal limits. The Yamaha XT 660X is definitely the sort of bike you could ride every day, and you could have your dream bike sitting in the garage for those other special days.

The XTX is a really easy bike to ride through traffic and the city, and it`s serious fun winding country lanes, in fact the narrower the roads the better the XT gets! With the super sticky sports road tyres, which are incidentally designed for much more power, you can put down all the power and lay it over as far as you like.
