Reviews
"With this model Yamaha does not rely on enormous power or torque, but more on stability for very long tour. The engine has long been known from the XT 660 R fro. A frugal driving, the road gets along well with 4 liters per 100 km - with a tank volume of 22 liters is enough for the more than 500 km. "
" Once back on solid ground affects the journeyman not quite as confident. About 5500 U / min, it seems bland and begins to annoy with increasing vibration despite balancer shaft. About the winding asphalt paths of southern Morocco, the Yamaha flits quite stable with engaging precision, but due to the low movement possibilities she wants to be out with some body use by changing direction. "
"The expectation that evokes the sporty look of the Ténéré, the 660 can not fulfill completely. The somewhat sluggish single-cylinder engine in urgent need of modernization. "
