I've ridden Transalps, and I just like them. They're not gutless.
They're softly tuned, granted, but the prob with the Dullsville is that
it's basically a Gold Wing sized bike with a small engine - the Transalp
is much less bulky.

They're incredibly well made, and the engine is just nice and torquey.
Fast isn't everything. They're genuinely good bikes but, as Wessie says,
they might struggle two-up.

A million Frenchmen can't be wrong. Can they?
