Hi Rainer
Have you had a chance to take your new beast for a good ride yet? How does it compare to your previous bike?

@ MrKiwi

Yes I did. At the end and due to bad weather conditions here in good old Europe I did only about 600 km since buying the S10.

@ all

My new baby - YAMAHA XT 1200 ZE Worldcrosser - is a real equitable successor to my HONDA Varadero XL 1000 VA8.
Itīs even more, because itīs easier to ride, has more power, has more torque, is less heavy and is at least easier to handle.
I did as well -before buying it - a testride with the new HONDA AT CRF 1000 L with DCT and sorry to say  VCIF_ok, you can compare the XT with the AT. The few kilograms more (about 30 kg) you donīt feel during riding the bike but you can feel the more of HP and the more of Nmīs.

So Iīm happy to have chosen the XT.

And for you Zebulon - my friend - I use this time a link to dropbox for uploading pics of my new baby  VCIF_salut.

Alone we go faster, together we go further

I do not ride fast, I ride far / I'm not lost, I'm just exploring
