Thanks to everyone for their input here. I ended up looking at and buying a Transalp on Friday.

Yep, I took it. I went to look at it last night and am taking it home tomorrow morning

:biggrin:

Done :)

:P I knew you would say no to jeans - I guess I was just living in hope. So yeah, pants are now on the list. I am flattered that you would be willing to show me your sexy legs so soon after our first conversation - it takes me a lot longer to get the girls to do that  :lol8: A 24 year old...

Thank you everyone for your input. IDR, I already have all of my gear as I used to ride a '88 gsxr to get to work until it got fed up and decided to stop taking me places. I have boots, jacket, gloves and helmet. I think I already know what you're going to say but I'll ask anyway - Can I get...

Good Morning BMWilddogs, You'll notice the wall of text... if you read through it, and offer input, I would be very grateful. Some of you may have seen my intro post. If you didn't, you missed out on another guy saying hello - a greatly unfortunate situation for you, I know. I'm looking to get...

Hello KLR owners, Some of you may have seen my intro post. If you didn't, you missed out on something amazing :P. I'm looking to get a bike so I'm posting around to see what people have to say about the different bikes and whether they'd suit me. Some of the text is a bit of a copypasta from...

Good Morning HondaDogs, Some of you may have seen my intro post. If you didn't, you missed out :P. I'm looking to get a bike so I'm posting around to see what people have to say about the different bikes and whether they'd suit me. Some of the text is a bit of a copypasta from another thread in...

Hi Jupiter, thanks for the direction, I'll spend some time reading through that thread. IRISH, I'm open to anything that will fullfil my requirements. I will have a look at the DR as you suggest. I decided to enquire here first because a while ago I met two guys who rode xt500s down from the...

Hi Dogs, I'm new to dual purpose here and am looking to get a bike soonish (Christmas is round the corner and I've been good this year). I would really appreciate some advice. A friend suggested that I get an XT. I have no clue where to even start looking for info as there are so many...

Thanks Bluebull, I'm slowly narrowing the search down to the year models I would be happy with.

Hi Chris_M, farmboy, thanks for the welcome. Hey Fuzzy Muzzy, thanks for the input - I have been seriously considering the Transalp - a (former)friend has one and I want to give it a test ride, unfortunately, she's not speaking to me at the moment. I'm gonna have to get back on her good side...

Thanks for the welcome Lear. Also, young one, I knew someone would suggest the KTMs, I think my wallet is a bit small for those at the moment but maybe in a few years time. :)

Thanks Nick and Young one, These times have been very difficult for me indeed - I feel like a caged animal. trapped in a little box, slowly plodding along the highway with the rest of the herd, seeing all of there bored, faces stuck in the traffic. Every now and then though, seeing one of the...

Thanks ChrisL, I'm not quite sure what I should be looking at test riding yet. I'm 1.75m tall and will be doing probably 95% of my riding on tar (going to work and back - 30km each way) and going onto a dirt road on the weekend here or there. The budget is about 37k but might be able to be...

Hi doods, I'm new here :) I used to ride a vfr400(88) which was so much fun but got stolen and now have a gsxr750(88) which has given me no end of headaches(been in the garage not running for 2 years) and I'm done with it. I'm here since a friend of mine has convinced me to get back on 2 wheels...
