random girl.

That is sweet. Where/How did you pick that up?

how big is the fuel tank on the KZ400? Love the look, but whenever I see bikes like that I wonder if the riders are eternally refuelling...

Why does Honda tease us with the Transalp we'll never get here in the U.S.?

Thx the engine is made of a nickel alloy and stamped by Jerry Branch.

Had to put "the flying brick" into storage this week -- too freaking cold to ride anymore.

I second that - i would get in line to buy this bike. with all the success BMW has with its f650gs and f800gs - you think honda would throw their hat in the ring.

Very nice XR...it looks like you ride it, which is great. I hate when I see Harleys in pristine condition. I wanna say to the owner you're supposed to be riding that thing not polishing and detailing daily. I just put my Interceptor into storage last weekend. <sigh> Winter is here.

I still have my heart set on a Vstrom... Probably the dl650... as its seemingly an excellent bike at roughly 1/2 the cost of the bimmers. Not to mention the excellent aftermarket support. So far that appears to be the consensus "best bike for the money" in the adventure bike stable. But a US version transalp at around 10k would give me extreme pause, were i about to buy a bike.

I wish Suzuki would get their act together and at least attempt to meet demand on the ABS Strom though. They seem to suck at that end of things.

Not. A cafe bike.

Thinkin about something like this, sans body kit (but keep the pipe, maybe something a little more tame)

Insurance is cheap, parking is cheap, and I dont need to take it for 2-year inspections (which cost around $800 before repairs!)

^ Ugghh. Maybe m@t knows better, but having lived in Asia, I see that thing has "fad" written all over it.
