Yamaha Xt 660

The Yamaha Xt 660 has a top speed of 165 km/h, produces 48 hp and weighs 179 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

La Yamaha XT660R se presentó en 2004 como sucesora de la longeva serie XT600, con un motor monocilíndrico modernizado y un chasis actualizado para competir en el segmento de deportes duales. Se ofrecía en dos variantes: la XT660R (enduro/dual-sport) y la XT660X (supermoto), ambas con la misma plataforma de motor principal. El modelo ganó popularidad por su confiabilidad, bajos costos de mantenimiento y versatilidad, y se mantuvo en producción prácticamente sin cambios hasta alrededor de 2016-2017.

Lo que los compradores deben saber

🔧

Rock-Solid Engine Reliability

The XT660's single-cylinder 660cc engine is renowned for longevity, often exceeding 100,000 km with basic maintenance. It shares DNA with Yamaha's proven XT lineage, making parts widely available and affordable.

⚠️

Watch the Cooling System

The XT660R/X models can run hot in heavy city traffic, so inspect the radiator and coolant hoses carefully on used bikes. Overheating issues are common when the cooling system is neglected.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The XT660 holds its value exceptionally well due to its dual-sport versatility and cult following among adventure riders. A well-maintained example typically retains 60-70% of its value after five years.

7.8/10

"Golpe a prueba de balas que premia la paciencia por encima de la velocidad."

El 660 single arranca con fuerza desde las 3000 rpm con ese sonido sordo satisfactorio que tanto amas como si odias, y en las carreteras B se siente realmente rápido a pesar de los modestos 48 caballos de fuerza. Recorrí 40 000 km recorriendo España y Marruecos y el motor nunca tuvo más problemas: cambié el aceite, comprobé las válvulas, listo. Sin embargo, los puntos débiles son reales: ese asiento de banco se convierte en una tortura después de dos horas, el repostaje puede aumentar de forma molesta a toda velocidad en la ciudad, y los 870 mm de altura del sillín hacen que los ciclistas más bajos bailen de puntillas en los semáforos. La versión XT660R se empapa de pistas de tierra con una compostura razonable, pero no te engañes pensando que sustituirá a una bicicleta de enduro de verdad una vez que la pista se torna técnica.

Pros

+La fiabilidad del motor roza lo legendario
+Fuerte par de rango bajo-medio
+La variante Supermoto X se maneja de manera brillante
+Piezas baratas, fácil mantenimiento a domicilio
+Sorprendentemente capaz en todo terreno ligero

Contras

La comodidad del asiento es realmente horrible
Cargar carne seca por debajo de las 4.000 rpm
El asiento alto excluye a los pasajeros más bajos
Las vibraciones por encima de los 120 km/h fatigan las manos
Lo mejor para: Viajeros que desean disfrutar de aventuras de fin de semana Omitir si: Recorres largas distancias a diario

Commuters and light adventure riders wanting reliability

"A dependable workhorse that rewards sensible buyers willing to inspect carefully."

$3,500-$6,500 used

The XT660 is one of those bikes that quietly gets the job done without any drama. Yamaha built these things like tanks — the 660cc single thumps along reliably for years if the previous owner wasn't an idiot about oil changes. Check the valve clearances first thing, because they get neglected and a tight valve will ruin your day faster than anything else. The fuel tap O-rings are a known weak point too, so smell the airbox before you hand over cash. Riding it honestly? It's not exciting. The single-cylinder character is satisfying in a workhorse way, but don't expect it to set your pulse racing on a Sunday blast. It handles competently, sits upright and comfortable, and will genuinely do light trails if you're not being stupid about it. The Z model with spoked wheels is the one to hunt for used — far more versatile than the cast-wheel version. Prices have crept up because reliability reputation travels. Don't overpay for high-mileage examples — these aren't rare, patient shopping rewards you.
