looking for advice on what bike would be best.would like an xt but am having troble finding ones in good nick. would a transalp be too heavy and crap on dirt tracks.

Hi

Good choice I reckon, met four of five people overlanding on Transalps, no problems reported at all. In fact, if it had shaft drive like the NTV it would probably be perfect!

Cheers
