Size matters.
 

One point is that Waldo mentioned he's over 6ft tall. I think the XT600 would be too cramped for him while a TT600 would quite possibly be spot on. The kick start TT600 is far better off road than the electric starter due to the better forks and shock absorber. The extra height would also help and suit a tall person better. Finally the TT is lighter and more agile than the superb XT. Lindsay.

Im 2 meters tall and get by on my xt600e, I bet there's something that suits me better out there, but I like my bike, so thats what I ride.

Hi I'm with Jens I am also 2m tall and the xt suits me fine, not tried to sit astride the tt but I chose the xt 600e for lots of reasons its a good fit for me, its not got too much to go wrong, a proven pedigree for reliability, and should it go wrong it is relatively easy to fix and for me thats a massive bonus as I am a relative novice with a spanner.
