The Transalp

 

The Honda XL650V Transalp has been providing honest transport seemingly since the dawn of time. Revitalised with a bigger motor and a face-lift in 2000, it’s softly-chuffing charm and easy-going manners have won a devoted audience. Mostly blokes more interested in getting from A-to-B than having a giggle buy them up.

Riders

Two bikers, father (Rainer, 1948) and son (Moritz, 1986) share the passion for motorbiking and travel. While the senior prefers well paved roads, the junior likes to ride the adventurous tracks. Rainer's favorite destination is North America, while Moritz goes preferably for Asia.
