Not available over here any more either! EU emissions laws killed it off in 2003. But one thing I've noticed is that over the last year original models have now started to become highly desirable.......and values are going up. Nowhere near Africa Twin values.....but it looks like it's going in...

Cheers Cloggy....I'll put it in there! :thumbup:

What pic do you think Cloggy?

Hey....good to see you Cloggy! BOTM? I thought it had to be an FZ6?

No FZ6......that's gone! But it is a 600......and it is a Yam! So what the hell! Out early......destination was the Castle in Vélez-Blanco, Almeria! Riding through Orce.......and then onto Maria crossing into the province of Almeria from Granada! Parked up at the foot of the...

Strange thing about the original XT600 is it's now starting to acquire a cult status like the Affy Twin! Original, clean examples in the UK (difficult to find because of deterioration due to climate) are now going for much bigger money than a few years ago.....I saw a 5K miler 2003 up for 3K...

I don't find it tall.....but it'll depend on the individual Scott! I'm only average height of 5ft 11ins......but I have very long legs, and a very short body. I've never yet found a bike I couldn't flatfoot from old Super Tenere's, GS's, to DRZ400's. Yet mates of mine who are much taller...

Still a way to go yet in terms of appearance.....but it's coming along!

Will do mate......and since the forum name change to 600riders....I'm still eligible! :D

It's more road based than trail Botch.....too heavy for serious dirt. But I wouldn't let age put you off....I'm 60.....and I can tell you now that these things are far easier to ride than pure road bikes. Lighter, smaller turning circle, wide upright bars with a high seating...

.....and it's back to XT's! I love them.....had a lot of them over the years! The Fazer was a great bike....but in the environment that I live, a big trailie is by far the best option. Finding a good XT600 isn't easy these days....they were killed off by EU emissions regulations back in...

Have a good day Scott! By the way, Tym did a shout out for you on MCS as well!

Hi Cloggy.....I'm sure nobody wants to see pics of a 60 year old geriatric! But here's one with my helmet on....I look younger then! :thumbup:

Thanks everybody.....though this birthday (in terms of the number) is a pretty grim one! Still....I took an hour off work to indulge in some geriatric posturing on the bike! :thumbup:

You live in Groningen? My youngest boy (23) lives there with his Dutch girlfriend! Small world!
