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.
De Yamaha XT660R werd in 2004 geïntroduceerd als opvolger van de langlopende XT600-serie, met een gemoderniseerde eencilindermotor en een vernieuwd chassis om te kunnen concurreren in het dual-sportsegment. Hij werd aangeboden in twee varianten: de XT660R (enduro/dual-sport) en de XT660X (supermoto), die beide hetzelfde basismotorplatform deelden. Het model werd populair vanwege zijn betrouwbaarheid, lage onderhoudskosten en veelzijdigheid, en bleef tot ongeveer 2016-2017 grotendeels ongewijzigd in productie.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.

"Kogelvrije dreun die geduld boven snelheid beloont."
De 660 single trekt hard vanaf 3.000 tpm met die bevredigende plof waar je een hekel aan hebt, en op B-wegen voelt hij echt snel aan, ondanks de bescheiden 48 pk. Ik heb 40.000 km afgelegd op de mijne in Spanje en Marokko en de motor haperde nog nooit — olie verversen, kleppen gecontroleerd, klaar. De zwakke plekken zijn echter reëel: die zitbank verandert na twee uur in een martelrek, het tanken kan irritant oplopen bij stadssnelheden, en de zadelhoogte van 870 mm zorgt ervoor dat kleinere ruiters een gênante dans op hun tenen doen bij verkeerslichten. De XT660R-versie gebruikt onverharde wegen met een redelijke mate van kalmte, maar hou jezelf niet voor de gek door te denken dat dit een echte endurofiets vervangt zodra het parcours technisch wordt.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"A dependable workhorse that rewards sensible buyers willing to inspect carefully."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe 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.
