Pedro Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 My heart is with a XT500 as an old school trail bike. Never rode any XT, but just love the way they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You rode my 350......well, when you could kickstart it! @Dell had the same problem...... @BusBoy had no problem at all! ......until he got overtaken by a couple of OAP's! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Right, I forgot that was an XT, but I was thinking of not having ridden a 500 or 600. To be honest, the only one I'm curious about right now is the 700, after the GS I can't even imagine touring on a single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 There is no 700 single.....the T700 is a twin with the MT/Tracer engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I had a 73 SL125 in 1975......same time as I had my 500 Kwak. Looked just like this.......and would you believe that I followed old railway lines on it! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
