Please don't buy my Transalp

[CRM]

My beloved Transalp project is for sale :facepalm:. Unfortunately my credit card and overdraft are getting hungry so here she is.

I think this is the best bike I've owned - just does everything so well and hassle free. Since buying I've added heated grips, a slightly taller screen, serrated pegs, soft pannier racks, flexible indicators on the back (off 600 Tranny), and a ventura rack. It's had one previous owner who used it with his wife on the back to ride everything that passed as a road in NZ. It's been well looked after mechanically but carries a few adventure scars (just scratches not dings). I have a new T63 for the rear which I was going to put on shortly. It comes with the bike unless the new owner :cry: doesn't want in which case I will keep. It has a Scott Oiler and a 12v output under the seat for charging etc.

I've documented its history here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/132946-Transalp-project) on KB. Lots of pictures there.

You'll have to try really hard to talk me into letting it go so no offers. And if no-one buys it I'll be relieved.244342244343244344244345

Okay I'm nearly emotionally ready to part with her :violin:.

Anyone want to give me money is welcome or I would swap for a nice respectable touring bike - preferably with a shaft and two cylinders but will consider four cylinder things also (especially starting with letters FJR or ST). :woohoo:

Needs a nice flat seat for the Mrs as she doesn't like sitting up too high. Also panniers but not jumbo-jet wide. Also not too tall as in Varadero or VStrom styles as my legs aren't the long sort. Lower value than the Transalp preferable so I get some money out of it to justify changing to the Mrs, but a direct swap is also on the cards :innocent:.

Needs to be reliable and comfy etc...:love:

I have a pair of donkeys. :yes: Very stubborn but reliable at best of times. Cheap on fuel, just park them on a grass for the night, and ready for the next days touring. I will throw in a set of soft saddle throw overs for the luggage as well. Oh, and did I say they are stubborn and take bit of effort to get going on the cold mornings?

Deal of the century i reckon. Ewan and Charley, eat your hearts out :corn:

Not familiar with the brand, must be something out of the Harley Davidson factory I'm assuming. Please send some dyno charts and I'll get back to you. :sunny:

I've got the Transalp up on Trademe (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=416606157). :Punk:

Anyone interested pm me or email clive@auditassistant.com.

She's seriously tidy and seriously for sale or swap:corn:.

Looking for a lazy tourer with endless torque, lower seat and lockup boxes. :cool:

Just did a trip to Wellington over the week - did a short excursion up a track off the Desert Road - this is the kind of thing the Transalp loves. It's a great all-rounder, can cruise at 120 still with plenty of go to overtake, but still do excellently in all types of offroad situations.

Unfortunately I do so little adventure riding it's wasted on me. I'm very keen to sell but not giving it away - a couple of shops have offered me $6000 on a trade, so if you offer me more than that we both win. Willing to send it or deliver throughout the country by negotiation.

[CRM]

Looking like I may have a buyer at $6k - anyone offering over $6000 be in if interested or I'll let it go. :shit:

if its so good why sell.You are unlikely to get anything better for the $$$$$

It's being wasted just doing long distance touring on it. It is a great bike. I could put road tyres and a high screen and hard panniers and top box but that would cost quite a bit and it would still be taller than I need. I can get an older ST1100 or R1100RT for around $6000 that will do exactly what I want. For example (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=410779128)

Yay sold :niceone:.

I do have some spare bits of the bike (Oxford soft panniers, ventura bag, serrated pegs and Givi soft pannier racks) that didn't go with the bike and I want to sell.

Also I have some adventure riding gear - a silver HJC Adventure helmet - size M with visor and peak only used a couple of times, an FFM MX helmet (L) and Scott goggles in good condition, Two Dri-rider jackets, one large (with waterproof liner) one medium (no liner) plus some large Dri-rider pants with liner - good used condition. Also some off-road boots - one pair Gaerne size 43 (US 9, NZ about 7 1/2) - only used a couple of times in original box, one pair Answer size 10 NZ - good for a wide foot - used maybe 15 times - good condition in original box, also a pair of Fox size 42 (about NZ 7?) - one broken buckle, used condition but still a good boot. Also some youth MX pants and shirt as new.

Will list these separately as well at some stage but pm me if you are interested in anything and I will sort out a deal. :corn:
