Thanks for your video, and the scenic flatlands around Amsterdam, complete with obligatory windmills! I travelled in that vicinity many years ago. Hard to know with no dialogue whether the bike is your own, but your test was more like a sports bike test, which to me is not the best use of this bike. Yes, it has a decent top end, useful for climbs and overtaking, but the constant high-rev use of the bike kind of misses its point. Now at 20,200 kms on mine, also in Australia, I find its virtue is travelling more gently. Easy for me to say, when I also have a lightened and modified Ducati sports bike (that I have done many hundreds of laps around Phillip Island on, lucky me!) but my Transalp is for a gentler use. Touring around the speed limit, using its low rev torque (which feels a bit soft, but which actually pulls quite well) enjoying the smoothness, the remarkable economy, the countryside, and being able to explore any turn-off down a gravel side road. I have done thousands of kms on dirt roads, many of those here in rural South Australia, and this really is an 'all round bike', in the tradition of earlier Transalps, but better. Try a gentler ride - imagine you were as old as most Transalp customers - and it might start to make more sense than flogging it around like a sports bike. Sports bikes are inevitably better at that! Yes, the new Transalps have 'a turn of speed', but they are better at other things.
Alleine des Klangs wegen, würde ich nicht mit meiner Cb 650r tauschen . Aber sicher auch ein gutes Motorrad. 😊! Ps. Bin kein tour Fahrer 😊! Gruss Thailand 1959.
Love my Transalp but away from home on a short holiday. Thanks for the virtual ride and hi from Australia.

I cant see were is the lack of power at lows that many complaints.this motor is strong,just linear.and thats good.
Beautiful ride my friend. Excellent bike and really enjoyed in your ride.
Thank you for your kind words 🔥
良い音で楽しそうです。それにあまり重いバイクじゃないので車の隣を通るのも楽そうですね。
素敵な映像をありがとう。日本より
You should have stopped and filmed the truckie punch up!
LOL
Could you share the name of that hand-guard? Thank you.
It looks like you have a GoPro on a chin mount and the GoPro is under the chin?
