My 'Blade is in for service so the courtesy bike they gave me was a Transalp. Now I've nver ridden anythingother than sporty road bikes so I was trepedatious, to say the least.
Comfy; W2.0 has been on one before and agrees that (a) they're comfy and (b) they're not my thing. She also said it would stop me killing myself at 140mph as this thing struggled to show 100 on the clocks.
I still have it until tomorrow because there is a crack in my LH Front caliper which must be a manufacturing fault (never heard of this before) and the dealer has taken one off of another Honda 'Blade for me whilst he argues with Honda about replacing it (warranty ended in January  ).
I need a 2-seater as well as the 'Blade. It won't be a Transalp.....

| I used a (battered and very old) Transalp for my lessons and test. It was only once I passed my test that I realised what a completely unsuitable bike it is for a riding school to use, top heavy, heavy and unwieldy. Hateful thing. |

On the other hand, if you can ride that...... well, you know the rest!!
