Can feel the need for a change in me garage!
GTR's a stayer, well happy, fancy a lighter commuter / trail stylee thing instead of our old GSX!
Always fancied a Transalp, they seem to hold good money, Honda quality and engineering I 'spose!
Just wondering if anyone out there has experience?
Is there much difference between 600 / 650 / 700, think they're all a tad under-geared?
Hear horror stories of front sprocket / driveshaft issues, again any warnings or advice of what to look for appreciated?
If anyone fancies a '92 GSX750F, all together and long MOT as a hack let me know.
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

Versys 650 is a nice bike and very easy to ride. In fact so easy you have to watch you don't start taking liberties with its forgiving nature.
