With standard gearing ????? The 600E is over revving at 70mph, let alone 95mph..
When i changed my rear to a 43, it wouldnt even get to 95mph as it lacked the torque.
Having owned a couple of XT's (on sticky rubber) and many middle weight sports bikes, Id have to say the XT doesnt even come close on power ,performance or handling. You must be one hell of a rider
But, that's not what the XT600E is about. Sure the suspension is crap, its painfully slow, it's put together with cheese headed bolts that love to rust but it will pretty much NEVER let you down !! It's a slow reliable chugger !
