    Well Folks

    Well folks still no where near getting a TA I have been round all local dealers to see if they had a test ride bike with no luck
    & I don't want to loose a lot of cash on the hornet as its not quite a year old yet just to find out the TA is not for me

    I'm getting the usual crap from mate telling me I wont like it not enough power

    My last few bikes have been yzf750,Thunderace fireblade now the hornet as well as the trusty vfr for all my touring but I think I'm ready for the TA now
    But on the other hand I got to listen to people that no me and at least test ride one first

    So I will keep visiting the site and like what I see info on tyres mileage Norway

    You can't leave

    I really missed the motor on my Bandit12 for a while and the first overtake on the Transalp nearly killed me. But now I still love it after 5 years.

    I love my transalp, never worried too much about the power and I went from a Buell Lightening (1000cc)

    (having said that, the Buell spent most of the time in the dealers getting fixed while I spent most of the time pootling around on thier loan bike )
