as a 1997 XT600E owner, i must say im pretty happy with it, its bombproof and goes well enough for my commuting, and as a supermotard its a lot of fun, but ive been looking at the MZ baghira which has the XTZ660 5valve engine, and it is noticably better. i can see now that the XT600E was a big BACKWARDS step in the tenere range, i dont really understand why yamaha did it, every other model in the range has better performance and suspension and its been gradually getting worse as each new model comes out. this new 660R is just the next in the line.
