Yamaha XT660Z
I have put up another post about the Honda Africa Twin, but the other bike I'm looking at is the much more new Yamaha XT660Z Tenere. Altough I prefer the looks of the Honda, it is far more important to me that the bike is functional and lasts. So despite the odd looks (to me anyway) the Tenere is an interesting option.
One thing I do wonder about and I have read about elsewhere is whether the Tenere is strong enough to carry all the extra weight on an overland trip. I'm not a speed demon, so not worried about speed, but is it strong enough to be a packmule on difficult terrain?
What are you experiences and general views on this bike?
Thanks!
