Adventure Bike Rider Forum

Due to unforeseen circumstances I am retiring from biking and as such my much loved Transalp is up for sale, details as follows,
1998 XL600v Transalp, 1998 twin disc model with only 15300 miles on her. I purchased this bike from Thunder Road, Cwmbran just over two years ago and have done the following to her,
Givi engine bars.
Givi Pannier frames.
High level LED brake light.
Chain and sprocket kit about 4,500 miles ago.
Rear Avon Distanzia about 4600 miles ago. (Plenty of wear left).
Front Avon Distanzia about 1000 miles ago
Stainless Steel Fuel Exhaust about 6 months ago.
Rear Disc Pads less than 1000 miles ago.
Valve clearance adjustment and Plugs (4) less than 300 miles ago.
She is taxed until Feb 2013, and has 9 months mot.
I believe she is probably the best 600v you will find for sale anywhere, she has a few small blemishes here and there, but she must be viewed to really appreciate her condition for a 12 year old bike.
Included in this sale are the following,
Haynes manual.
Aluminium Panniers, about 35ltrs.
Plastic Givi Panniers, 21ltr.
Tech top box 26 ltrs.
Wiese tank bag, small.
Oxford disc lock.
Bike cover.
I also may sell some other bike gear with the bike.
I am looking for offers in the region of £1900 ovno.
Please feel free to pm me with any questions.
Thanks for looking. Matt.

thats a nicely sorted bike ready to go , i toured with a friend of mine who had one ,i was on my 1150 gsa ,most of the time the transalp was far more pratical.

Yeah she's pretty much all there, give her an oil change and tour Europe. Be a sad day when she goes.

Looks like a cracking deal to me... Very underrated bike. Best of luck. Sorry to hear you've got to pack in biking pal

Cheers buddy.

B) Lovely looking bike, good luck with the sale - with all that clobber and the low miles that should fly out the door.

Thanks Buddy, I hope it finds a good home soon.
