Hello one and all :thumbsupanim:
Been on abr for a while and now found here as well, currently only have my Beta rev4 trials bike in the garage after selling my BMW R1100s today so now on the look out for a transalp 700, tried one out last week and kinda liked it, always fancied a Africa twin but never ridden one yet.

Welcome to the forum. Whereabouts in the North West - I assume you mean of England. I am in Garstang.

Hi hoggyf. Ive just passed my first year of Transalp ownership. only put 5000 miles on a 2011 bike that had just 360miles on it as it was an ex demo. but most of all 5000 miles with a smile on my gub. And by the way welcome.

The 650 just doesn't float my boat which is a shame as i imagine it will be just as good a bike. I did see one in HRC white blue and red that looked amazing mind!

Now the owner of a 2009 alp, had a good 2hrs out on it yesterday in the rain and sunshine and really enjoyed it, found I was nearer the speed limits too which is good, pottered round the back roads enjoying the views and sights, much better than my previous BMW R1100S (nice bike but just not me) comfy, poky enough, all in all pretty chuffed, pics to follow, never took any yesterday, was enjoying riding it too much :thumbsupanim:
