Should I get a '700' Transalp
I'm considering getting a '700' Transalp but as a test ride seems impossible I'd like some opinions please.
I currently have a Tiger 955 which is perfect in every way - except that it is a bit tall in iffy situations and heavy to manhandle on foot.
The TA will probably solve both of these 'problems' but may raise others such as ......
Will it cruise comfortably (for me and the bike!) at 80/85 for those occasions when I'm forced on the motorway?
At 55/60 will it have enough oomph to overtake on A/B roads?
What is the tank range? (Assuming normal riding not thrashing.)
Does any one other than Touratech do engine bars?
Which is the best choice for panniers? (Practical not just pose value!)
Any other comments or suggestions to help me decide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
