new xt600 or oldie?
When i finish college in the early summer this year i am thinking of buying my first motorcycle. It´s bound to be a Yamaha, the only question is: one of the current XT600´s, one of the current TT600´s or an old XT600? I wouldn´t want anything with a Super Tenere like front. If i were to buy an old one i would absolutely put it in a Yamaha work shop for an engine rebuild and improve the suspensions with quality parts, like an Ohlins or WP shock and front springs, also any bike of these bikes will have to have a tank able of 500-600km range and some off-road protections. It will make about 150 per week in road conditions and light off road all year round, and a lot more kms in the hollidays, i am also planning for a north Africa trip in about 1,5-2 years, what widest range of non-fueling riding you ever encountered?
PS: it´s my first bike.
Any tips and advice would be apreciated since there are people here with real merit and knowledge.
