Just came back from a 2week, 6000km trip from Germany to Portugal and back. The only issue was a broken speedocabel. Mine was built in ´92 and has about 76000km on the clock.

It is not an adventure bike; it is a bike for adventure.   =)

I do enjoy watching your reviews of these old school bikes, where little gets in the way of the simple joy of riding a motorbike. Well done.

You should test a NX650 Dominator too... They younger sister or brother of the old XL...

The Transe, the cult moped for the touring enduro guild. Built heavy enough to survive a trip around the world. Light enough to push the fallen Transe out of a water hole. When I look at the current Beamer GS, on the other hand, it's as ugly as an industrial vacuum cleaner, weighs tons and is equipped like it was for World War 5. I like THIS Transe...

Great! I got a purple transalp -1998. Bought it from an 82year old man now 1.5 years ago when I started taking my drivers licence. 🇸🇪

Its funny to see my bike in action and not from the top of it as usual :) Nice video. Love it <3

Pour débutant c'est le top , j'ai commencé avec le 600 transalp et maintenant j'en est 2 c'est pas chère à l'achat et elle t'emmènera partout,VIVA TRANSALP

It's like a budget RD03 Africa Twin, I'm in the balkans and I see many many of these around.

Spot on review. Love my Alp, even with the unresponsive brakes, like you accurately mentioned; especially the back brake is dodgy (it slows you down basically 😅). But taking into consideration the three decade age of the bike, the only real problems i have had with it over the years were a bad CDI at one point and a busted rectifier … twice.

Now already a legendary model. Nice video mate.

Welcome to free miles mc. Great news, cause i’ve bought a transalp!

One of my fav bikes

I’m a proud owner of a 1997 (twin front disc brakes) Transalp. I decided to sell my car to see what it’s like to live with only a motorcycle. So I bought this one. 2000€ here in northern Italy, enough power to get 2 people comforfably everywhere, changed chain sprocket etc., some more mantainance and it’s a tank, ridiculous fuel consumption for everyday life, it brakes okay, if you want to tour just jump in and go no matter what. It is 27 years old (i’m 26) but every single part is widely available (some issues with the fairings 😒) but no carb problems or whatsoever it just runs and gets you from A to B in the best possible way

The latest transalps have gone back to minimalist styling after the fugly bloated looking couple of iterations between the first one (the best looking one IMO) and the latest one. The indestructable simplicity and easy diy maintenance of the original transalp puts it in front of the newer ones. PD06s are getting rare in UK now. Only 20 still on UK roads

THIS is the type of bike you should have! Nice review.

Great to see a transalp:) I have the tansalp xl700V as my first bike. It's very comparible but bit modernized and more power. Really made my in love with motorcycling so much that i almost never touch my car anymore!

I own my 2008 Transalp 700 since 2019. I've been to Romania, Czechia, Poland, France, Spain. It's even more road orientated than the XL 600 or 650 with it's 19" front wheel. Community is great, bike runs good. I always rode on two wheels out of everything.

The transalp has been Chosen for several Police over various countrys and I think they normale know what they want

Gran moto. Ne posseggo una del 1999 e la apprezzo ogni giorno di.più. Bel video . 👍
