The Yamaha XT 660R was a dual-purpose motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha as a replacement for the XT 600 and a development of the original XT series, inspired by those motorcycles used in the Paris Dakar rally.

Alongside the XT 660R, the Japanese maker also made available the XT 660X, a more street-oriented motorcycle, and the XT 660Z Tenere, an adventure touring model. All bikes packed the same power unit and shared some chassis components.

In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha XT 660R, an enduro-capable machine with excellent maneuverability, handling both urban trails and off-road tracks.

In the visual department, the bike had standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a single headlight, a small wind deflector, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a high-mounted exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.

The bike's backbone was a diamond-shaped steel tube frame with a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front, providing 225 mm of travel, and a monocross system on the rear with 200 mm of travel, delivering optimum suspension performance.

The 2012 Yamaha XT 660R had installed a 660cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine managed by a fuel injection system, boasting 48 hp at 6,000 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 5,250 rpm.

The power was handled by a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch and sent to the rear end through a final chain drive, spinning the rear wheel to a top speed of 165 kph (102 mph).
