    Touring colours

    I stumbled on this link when I was browsing the Honda website.

    http://ww1.honda.co.uk/mcstatic/en/p...0VTransalp.pdf

    I think they are trying to make a faux-Africa Twin classic look.

    But I have to say, it works for me. Love the blue, red and white and also the gold trims. Very smart.

    You need to see it for real, it is the best looking TA 700, in my opinion.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    It looks great. I agree.

    However, have you checked out the little booster lights down below as accessories?

    Look a bit flimsy.

    The fog lamps are actually pretty good - well made, with vibration absorbing rubber bushes, the only downside is that they make getting the undercowl off very difficult. Not the end of the world, but a bit of a pain.

    Just showing off realy, but here are a couple of pictures of my 09 bike in these colours. I recently toured through France Spain Porugal and Andorra. Thought you might like to see the bike "fully loaded" as it were!

    It is great, isn't it. Some more pics here: Transalp '09 - a set on Flickr

    But the black is pretty tempting too:
