You get good and bad bikes in every model, but of the 100+ travelers that have stayed with me over the last 10 years, the XT riders have had the least hard-luck mechanical breakdown stories. Add to that, you are dealing with a bike 20 years old from a marque that has only an average reputation for supporting old models (there are worse!), and I say, of the two, go with the Yamaha.
