Well that's encouraging to see yours there. I've been told that mine will possibly be landing today, if not definitely Monday .

What do they ride like? Similar to a Tenere 660 or completely different? Not the engine, which I know is a peach, but in terms of top heavy weight etc.

Scott....totally different beasts...the T7 has far better suspension and a smoother engine and more grunt...

But at a cost its smaller in seat height too...for me at 5.10 the T7 felt more controlable compared to my std xt660z ride height.....i prefer the xt660z.

Have a ride on one before deciding.....its not as top heavy as the xt660z.


I love the new lights and suspension but ...?

Interesting comparison, I've never ridden one but absolutely loved my 660z. I'm 5.9 and managed it perfectly fine, don't see height being an issue as I currently have an ATAS.

For me the xt660z with the single silencer and kev mods had more sole and smiles than the T7....typical single verses tein engine character ....

The sit on and ride position if the T7 is perfect for me...but im not rich ......yet
