Before it was unveil, the Transalp was the big secret of those last two weeks... Finaly not so far of the old model, this new Transalp has the same engine as the Dauville (V Twin 680cc), reliable and easy to ride. Set for maximum torque in order to provide nice a good travel ability.
This new Transalp is also presented as very versatil and utilitarian, good to do all you want...
Now with a new head light « roundovoïdal », this new XL700V Transalp is now original and more armed face to its most hard and very shaped contender, the Kawasaki Versys.
