WHY THE STUPID MUSIC?

Yeah I've had a setw of these and I do get what you say about the second usage for cold weather. Mine are A too and I feel like I need a larger set. The jacket fits very well but the pants are a bit tight as I bend my knees. I picked these up for about $30 but that was around 2006-7. They're so compact. I'm thinking jof getting a set of mediums or even large. It's raining today in Melbourne. Just drizzling as it tends to do so these pants and jacket are a godsend. Rode home last night about 37kms and I only had the jacket but it worked well. I'll put the pants back under the seat I think because even if they're a bit small, they're better than nothing. Your indicator flashlight looks like you were turning right as it's on the upper right side of your Speedo.

That bike is too cool for you dude

started riding at 16 and still riding at 69 i am giving up my trick fzs1000 and getting one of these as said singles are a different type of ride but this newish wave of single is a different ride to older singles its a nice motor thought about the 2016 model looked at one and to me the 660 looks better built anyway all to their own getting one of these and looking foreward to it thanks

You have to like and understand big singles and how they develop power and torque, if you don't it'll not suit you, you simply won't be able to ride it. The MT03 is a supermoto 😎

This bike should be a V2 650

Gday from Melbourne m8 picked up my 2014 classic two months ago and couldn’t be happier with it and with Vance Hines pipes it has a great note going down the road

Something wrong with that one... they're quite hectic on pulloff usually

Great video, but I'm pissed off that we don't have this tenere in the US. It's a great bike for riding to work and riding the canyons. This really sucks!

Is it heavy? idk if I want a yamah r3 or ninja 650 (i know different bikes but offered them in a trade) r3 6.5 k miles and 650 with 8.3k I heard the 650 feels a bit sluggish especially at slow speeds. my main concern is the 460 lb weight 650 has. (im 5'10 and 160 lbs)

Can this bike get you from Perth to Melbourne?

Why bother wearing gloves when you're wearing a T Shirt? Your elbows will go first.

That bloodey music and the barely audible voice at the start nearly made me stop watching! Wound forward a bit n loved the rest of the report. Have,always been attracted to this type of bike after reading about Dan Walsh, bike journalist back in the early OO ' s who took a 600 down the western side of the U.S and into Central America. His monthly reports showed that these bikes are tough as nutz and that's fine by me!!

Interesting to see Bunbury, I used to live there around 1979-80

don´t agree at all with the bike being front light...

I have just bought one of these looking forward to riding it iam 67 years old if that matters

What was the time???

Front brakes are excellent on this bike. There must be something off with those.

I’ve got one of these. I’m 65yrs old and have been riding for ever, passed my test when Moses was a boy! Folks dismiss this bike as a ‘beginner’ machine but it’s so much more than that!

Great review mate I’m also here in WA Perth and I’m do really early rides as I work away. And more am wanting something that keeps the wind out as it’s bloody freezing so this is a huge help cheers

I ride a Honda Shadow Aero 750 and I suddenly understand the "churp" I get sometimes - its gotta be changing down to 1st with the shaft drive. These bikes have got a strong engine brake as well. Its interesting how good these metric cruisers really are, such great bikes to learn on and give a really good riding feel.

nice review :)

Iam from Perth,I own this bike , really really awesome, u never feel like u need bigger bike . Many people underrate this little beast , well I say I save a lot of money . 270kms (8.5litres) well it’s 14 litres tank , but I fill as soon as it get last bar , and only one bad thing about this bike is brakes , it’s not that strong bite , but overall it’s a beautiful bike.

Mate, you are on to something about the brakes. This is the 1st time I've heard it out loud. These really do brake much more from the rear. And its not just a matter of knowing how to brake, if you ride these enough, you find yourself relying on that rear one, very different from other bikes.

Couldn't watch much that music made me want to throw my phone into an oncoming truck. If your going to do a review of anything don't have music destroy and overpower what you have to say. Almost sends a message the music is more important. So it's a big dislike from me

i put brand new full knobblies on mine, hitting sand at 80kmph is scary, the front end becomes loose and wants to throw you off, i figured out to shift myself back on the seat as far as possible, it helps alot

Hey buddy just got them today, do they work well in heavy rain? Thanks for the review from a new rider.

Thanks for the review mate. Just looking into one of these for my first bike. Very helpful.

So what's the difference between a tourer and an adventure bike ?

Looks like heaps of fun! Im super keen to get on one of these!

У меня xt 660 r уставал на нём не мог понять почему .Понял .Далековато руль . Перегнул и доварил по 20 мм с каждой стороны результатом доволен .Ростом я 180 см.

Hi Fullface have you got anymore 650 yamaha VSTAR blogs

What a horrible pronunciation! Dislike!!!

Best bike ever made. Love mine.

It does 50 mph in 2nd gear how fast should a cruiser be 😂

What a savage ! Still makes me laugh hard

Nice review, do you know what panniers those are?

Tenere looks great , but it’s little brother XT660R is a even better choice being almost 30 Kgs lighter .. that’s huge in motorbike terms.

Yeah, he's depending on the rear breaks too much; need to just get used to using those front/rear breaks at the same time. I've gotten to where I depend on the front more then the rear, and I don't get any tire noise, otherwise you can lock that rear tire up real easy on a quick stop. I've gotten my 650 classic to 90mph (145kmh) no problem, so the power is there if you need it. The bikes is well balanced and corners well, also good maneuverability at low speeds, and I don't have a problem scraping the boards. Just some some extra info for this old vid if anyone really cares.

Love it

Great video. Thank you. I recently bought a brand new Yamaha 650V Twin classic with V&H short shots and white wall tyres. Wow what a bike. It's a keeper cruiser for me for life. Had heaps of bikes of all styles but this cruiser with the wife on the back cruising the peninsula or commuting to work is all I need

XT 660r é uma motocicleta, compacta, robusta, uma moto que por onde passa chama atenção pelo seu designer gráfico, uma moto excelente pra asfalto e terra ótima performance , qualidade, durabilidade, usamos em nossas gravações @triip_dosloucos

had the xtx660x that was a fun bike iam looking to get a second bike to a little bit of off road /green laning do you think it would be suitable for the purpose ..

Xt660x is the motard and 660r is the enduro

just made a down payment on 1988 XV-250 blue. What I've learned, is that pictures do not do this bike justice. the moment i saw and sat on it, hay I'm 6'-1"the suspension is like yo sitting on a big comfy couch, can't wait to get her on the road at he same time understanding that hay this bike could take my life. So be careful ride safely, it's better to arrive alive, than to be on time.

I'm deciding between this bike and the rebel 500, the only reason preventing me from getting this is the lack of ABS, which I heard is pretty important safety feature for learner riders.

Nice bike , I have a TT500 but not street legal, I wish it was but still fun to trail ride with it

The xt660 and this are great bikes but they could be a lot lighter.
