Review of the 1989 Yamaha XT 600:Lots of torque, total wheelie machine. |

I just bought a well used ´89 XT 600 a week ago and have put as many miles on it as I could so far. | ||
The previous owner hacked up the wiring a little, so I have some issues, but as far as handling and power, this bike is AWESOME! Wheelies are hard to avoid in 1st, and still easy to do in 2nd. A bit on the heavy side for serious off roading, but for something you can ride to the trails it´s not bad. Much lighter than Kawasaki´s KLR, and still faster than a stock late model 450 cc motocross bike. Not so heavy that the average guy would have to worry about laying it over. I´ll be keeping this bike for a while..... |
