I liked the XRX I rode recently. I think the XRT will be better on tarmac though,with the smaller front wheel?

I thought they both had the same 'road' wheels?

Did you ride the XCX TP?

I'm not sure one of those would suit you TP, the pillion seat doesn't look plush enough for Sin!! :mut

The pillion perch is comfy enough, I tried out Mat-Tigers  :icon_razz:

I know I'm such an old tart  :icon_redface:
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

50 mile test ride today guys, all back to normal. What I have noticed is now that I have an airbox without cracks all over it, the bike doesn't want to start on full choke. Half choke and she fires up straight away and within 30 secs I can drop the choke right off. Chain needs a bit of tightening, but other than that, no issues. :wings
