The Bike

Bike


My baby is my Yamaha XT 660 R 2009


Oh how I love her so....


The point in this specific bike is that it's an enduro motorcycle and is ideal for a long distance trip.
It's light being a single cylinder, robust and Don't take no shit from no one.


For the purpose of the trip a few naughty extra's have had to be added to protect her and myself!
For the bike buff's these are listed below:
