Great choice with a Honda! Not my kind of bike, Im a cruiser guy. I want a Honda VTX 1300. But that Transalp will last you forever.

Hi mate, excellent choice going with the Transalp. I live in the U.S. and I am jealous that you have Transalps, Africa Twins and Teneres to choose from. I ride a XR650L. Be sure to post your future adventures.

Congratulations!! That's an excellent looking bike, i can see you having many adventures. :) I'm selling 125cc in the next few weeks and buying a Suzuki Bandit 600 (naked version) - can't wait! :D

@thatmanfromyorkshire Hey, just checked the GSX 650F out on Google, thats a nice looking bike! are you buying new or going used? When you get it you must post a video to show off your new stead! I have just sent my seat off to be modifed for more comfort, I have to wait a further two weeks before I can truely clock up some miles on my XL650V!

[thatmanfromyorkshire]
