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.

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
