Experience with 2000+ Transalp
G'day Transalpians,
I am preparing for a RTW starting in late March '08. I plan to cover some 70000 ks over 2 years. Ideally I wanted an older BMW 80/100GS, no luck with tracking one down. Now I just want a bike for the trip (not a big fan of singles - route is australia to europe - more tarmac than dirt). I would very happily get on an Africa Twin, but hens teeth in Aussie.
I have been doing some background reading on the NEW transalp 650 (or I guess were new until the 750). There is a huge following for the old TA, but not much hype surrounding the post 2000 TA.
I would be really keen on hearing from anyone doing a RTW trip on the new (post 2000) TA, or anyone with a high mileage 2003?-2006 TA. Any major issues, things you wished you had done, did you ride on the stock shocks, how many ks on the engine? Maintenance woes?
Would be greatly appreciated
Kind regards
