XT600e in Lima for sale
 

Hi,

I have a fantastically reliable 2001 Yamaha XT600e for sale. Its done just about 45,000k, fully kitted out with Hepco & Becker racks and panniers + top box, Acerbis 24l tank (range of about 500KMs), tall H&B windscreen, crash bars. Its got a new MT60 rear tyre and front is a Metzeler Sahara. Full service history, this is a super reliable air cooled single. Handled 5000m fully loaded 2 up without a cough over the Andes.

Here are some photos of the bike in action, note we no longer have the tank bag as it went with the little original 15l tank.

Hi Dave, how the xt performs in motorway in north of Chile, i saw the pics and i read some of your comments, what speed did you use for cruising there in desert and how did you do it with the wind, at what gear was it engaged and what speed?

thanks mate

north of chile
 

hi mate, the bike was fine, in the deasert we could cruise at 110 to 125 in 5th, but some sections the cross winds got pretty feirce so the speed dropped to 50 - 60 in errr. 3 or 4th gear i think..

generally she's a goer the only time it felt weak would be at 4900m odd on bolivian llama piss, ahem, fuel. even then she was the fastest thing on the road!

dave

Thanks for that!!!!!, i've got th same equipment as you, but i'm doing at that speed barely 17 km/lt, the bike runs fine and it is a 98'xt 3tb model,with just 50k on the clock ,thanks again , i guess, if i going faster,like 120 as you were, i'll get a better fuel mileage
