1985 XT600 or a later model.

Hi,
Im in the process of putting a XT600 1985 model back on the road to do some distance riding and would like your thoughts on whether to keep going or upgrade to an XT in the 2000 model range.
Cheers Ernie.

The early bikes are the best!!!

I wouldn't recommend motorways - stick to the back roads.
That was the only thing I disliked about my XT600's.

I have a load of spares left over - shame you are in Oz
