XT6 New Owner

Been riding an '82 XT550 daily for the past 4 years.....
Like it so well that I couldn't resist getting another XT.....

Say Hello to my newest addition to my stable ......


'88 XT600.....less than 9k on the clock, with brand new Dunlop-shod 17" Excels......& a custom seat which is thee most comfortable seat I've ever had on any of the 14 Yamaha's I've owned in the past 23 years.

Looking forward to swapping notes with other XT6 pilots.

It Rails through the twisties better than any of the 13 Yamaha's I've owned prior.


Just got through with installing new chain & sprockets.....& handlebar recently....can't wait to get back out on it!
Rode to work this morning in the snow on the 550 .....so, might have to wait a bit longer after I get some Skiing in 1st.
