And she already has a name! :thumbup1:

Yeah ;)

Already got Gadgets/New Clothes for 1200€ lol. Im hyped! But the Cow Need 1 more week until I can get her :(

Sadly the seller is not realy sticking to his words, he said I can decide what tire I'll get... today i called him to tell the insurance number so he can register the bike and the guy on the phone said that they already put Bridgestone's TW47 and TW48 tires on it. Googled it, seems like a good tire so it's fine i guess. .)

I just hope he sticks to his words when it comes to the included register, fluids, checkup and barell. We'll see :)

I bought a intercom and the microphone sucks! The Quality of speech is terrible so I decided to get rid of the mic, since it's also annoyoing in my helmet (folding one). Sadly there is a hole in the intercom now (where the plug from the mic where) where you can see the c-board in the intercom case. I just put some tape on it, I hope it's waterproof :mchappy:

Coming back to the Honda CRF250rally and Kawasaki Versys X-300, I am still very interested about These, as soon as the seller got a new versys x-300 for rent I'll get it and write a comparisment to the transalp. :)

Hi Hendrik,
Transalp is a good choice. I ride one PD10, myself and it it goes well. My NightAlp brings me from Marokko to the Northcap withoiut any issues.

Here is a hints, you should take a look at ABENTEUER WELT – Die Abenteuer-Messe. There will be a talk from Bea & Helle, (https://www.timetoride.de/). ( 22.October ) They did what you want to do with 2 Transalps.

So it could be interesting for you ;-)

Go forward and I hope I get a chance to follow your trip in the internet.

Greetings from Rhein/Main
NightAlp

It's still a long time till I get going but maybe I will blog about it then!

I'm not sure if I should write a diary while travelling and make a book out of it after or blog it directly on the internet.

Thanks for the Info! I will go to the Messe :)
Maybe I can meet some of you guys there :)

Don't do what I did which was to keep the diary / notebook in my bike jacket pocket. We hit some serious rain, the diary got wet and the ink ran ...

I bought a Kawasaki zx9r and the rare times I got on Yamaha motorcycles. Recently I started renting motorcycles for long trips. The Yamaha xs250 was one of my first motorcycles, and the memories of it create an enjoyable nostalgia for me. Recently, I have been thinking about renting such a model for a leaflet around the city. I've been thinking about buying a new motorcycle lately, but I have no idea what model to buy, maybe someone can help me with advice in this area. I would be very grateful for the help.

What kind of riding do you want to do? Is it only for the city, or do you want to tour as well?
