New Member - buying first Transalp 600 - any pitfalls

[richardjames75]

OK- Richard... I saw it today. Priced at £1295 in the showroom.
Confirmed it was being sold to a chap in Northanmpton- (you)
I had a quick look around it- I did not hear it running, but...
I went into the back to where the bikes get preparred. A new mechanic has started work there. I am a Driving Standard Agency qualified motorcycle instructor & I know the mechanic who serviced the bike. He is very competant. I spoke with him and he confirmed he has worked on the bike and replaced the FRONT & rear sprocket along with the chain- All looked new. The front sprocket had not been tac welded on- a service was carried out as they had promised.

I hope I have been of some use to you

Regards

Rod

Hi Rod,

Not yet, they're seeing if they can deliver it (when they send another bike down this way) failing that I'll be able to pick it up at the end of the month,

Rich.
