I rode one on monday as a loan bike from the dealership and thought I would do a little review as it more than impressed me 
since their release about six months ago, I have had a 'want' for one of these, but now have a 'burning desire'
It comes off the floor with 95hp, and all the bells and whistles that one could desire, from 3 traction control modes, 4 rider modes, cruise control, fully adjustable front and rear suspension, seat adjustable etc.... but what impressed me most was the power of the tripple motor and the smoothest bloody gearbox I have ever ridden on any bike. ever.
the 800 XC was the bike of desire for me, until I rode this XCX, the extra X meaning all the extras, I suppose.
I rode it mostly 2 up for about 100 or so kms, and at first getting used to the different upright riding position was strange, but after 4 or 5 kms I was right with it 
It handles and breaks like a sports bike, it pulls up hill even with the two up I had the pleasure of over taking the MG car club out for a mountain ride.
I honestly couldnt find fault with it.
The Bridgestone Battlax tyres gave plenty of confidence too.
I loved it... I NEED one
anyone else ridden one, or own one?

Nice work Dermoti  wouldn't mind one my self .It would be a great choice to ship around and explore different parts of the world
Now that you've worked yourself into a lather, have fun with the next few sleepless nights

I haven't riden the new one yet but I rode the the old model and loved it. Great bike for getting off the beaten track.  One life too many bikes to own.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
