Hey David did you pick it up from Corey over at Joes Motorcycles?

Nice wheels. Just gotta keep it upright and on the black stuff and you will have many happy miles.

Looks good David!! (instead, insert :- lucky barsteward ;) )

What size motor is it? I've been away from bikes for many, many years but I can feel the tug to return getting stronger as time goes by. :eek:

She is a Honda TransAlp 650cc V Twin Fluid cooled Road / dirt road bike.
Picked it up from Canberra Motorcycle Centre this morning.
Been running round all day.
No time for the lathe:eek:

She is my (Retirement / Withdrew my super) present.

You know that add on TV for the retirement fund / Blame us...
You see the guy riding off on his new retirement bike....
Well I followed suit....:D :D ;) :p :rolleyes:

Very nice. Bit like a BMW. 650 (not too big or heavy). Liquid cooled (more efficient). I'm envious. How much are they (roughly).

Congrats mate.

I bet she chews the miles easily.

14ish -
The one I got was less as it was the demo model but only had 400km on it.;)

Couple of problems so far:
1. Can not hear it. Helmet noise exceeds motor noise so you have to watch the gauges.:rolleyes:
2. My mouth is hurting from the ear to ear grin.:D :D :D

Lucky Bugger! Remember to wear a full face helmet - to stop the bugs from lodging in your teeth!

About 12 times as much as a hip replacement but the waiting time is 12 years less:D

Great bike , more into touring myself ( bmw K 100 LT ) but always enjoying riding a class piece of machinery, and that honda is just that.
