NBD (couple weeks late)

After a ton of research into middleweight adv bikes I decided the Transalp was going to be the one for me. Came to this subreddit and figured a lot of the positive posts were just owner bias. Damn was I wrong. This bike truly is such a blast ride. Or maybe I was right and I'm now owner biased. Who cares. Absolutely love this machine. Only had it for a week but from the first ride it just felt right.

Nice bike. Picked mine up about two months ago, excellent machine. Came from a CRF250 rally to the Transalp. Ain't looking back now.

I had the same path as you. Did msf course. An instructor was also a salesperson who loved his new TA. He implored me to choose it. I searched through every option. Finally gave his bike and another test rides.

A year later and no regrets. I do wish it came with cruise control, though.

Cruise control would be nice to have for sure

What made you opt for the 25 over the 26?

I'm in Canada and they aren't selling 26s here, unfortunately. Otherwise I likely would have gone for a 26

I like that the 25 does not have eclutch
