Ah! You are younger than I thought.
My impressions of the XT660Z in the UK are:-
As new they have sold OK, up to more or less now, since first marketed here in 2008.
I suspect that sales have now slowed; people want the bike to be updated by Yamaha and will wait to see what develops.
Many private sellers of second hand bikes want to achieve more or less the same prices as are asked by the dealers.
Maybe for these reasons there are plenty of them available for sale here, judging by current advertising.
Still, it was the XT600 that I thought about with respect to the OP.
And the TTR600, which I owned a few years ago, and the XT225 which I have nowadays.
I have owned other Yamahas also, but once upon a time, and a long way back, I was more of a Honda buyer.
On the European front:-
My current European bike is a KTM and a replacement, if I was to replace it now, might come from Moto Guzzi or, perhaps, Aprilia.
