Hi All
I am about to go and look at a 2007 Transalp as a first bike - i know that they are not the fastest raciest bike, but they seem to be dependable and fairly solid. I would like to do some touring and obviously want to overtake and stop safely. ;)
I have read several reviews but any of your coments or experience would be appreciated thanks - Sulman :)
No one can say what is the perfect bike for you. Only you will know. I have a SV650 a good all rounder, but a transalp would be better for touring. I would try as many bikes as you can. Best of luck! I am sure you will have lots of fun. ;)
Thanks Karlos - I am sure I will too :D
Dont just go for the first bike you see, like karlos says try out other bikes until you have a better idea of what you want
I must say that the Transalp is a very good bike my mate she has one and loves it, even so she has had two cos she loved it so much.
Nice bike Mark. Comfortable, easy to ride, and great for touring. But as you say, it ain't no rocket ship... ::)
Try and get to the NEC bike show and try as many bikes as you can for size. Make a list of what you think suits you, read the reviews and test ride the one's shortlisted.
I'm 6'5" and about 300lb and with a pillion I would have exceeded a lot of the maximun load limits.
I have looked at a lot of bikes over the years and have discounted a fair few for being either to small, to uncomfortable or just damn right ugly when you see them in the flesh.
