XT 660 X

The Yamaha XT 660 X is the supermoto version of the XT660 family and was produced from 2004 to 2016. Its liquid-cooled 660 cc single makes 35 kW and useful torque, paired with 17-inch cast wheels, road tyres and a stronger front brake than the trail-focused R. A tall seat, wide handlebar leverage and long-travel suspension make it especially agile on twisting roads and in dense city traffic.

This Yamaha suits riders who value character, simplicity and low running costs over high speed or wind protection. It is A2 compatible and straightforward to maintain, but poor injection setup or worn drivetrain cush rubbers make it abrupt at low speed. Inspect carefully for stunt and crash damage because many X models have been ridden hard. For sustained motorway use, limited comfort, the small tank and single-cylinder vibration are clear compromises.
