  I'll bet the Xl 750 is more lively than the CB500X ?

  According to official specs, she is close to a Varadero as far as power is concerned, but far when weight is considered.
  
  I wish you many happy km  (or miles) on her.

• Thank you Joseph
  
  Yes Stewart.    A lot more.  However the CB500X was mainly used as a commuter and was returning around 80 MPG
  The Transalp will be used on trips and fun days out. Hopefully after a few miles to loosen things up it will be doing well over 60 MGP.
  But worth it for the extra power.

• Yes   Uk gallons
  
  80 MPG for a 500cc bike is an excellent figure.
  
  I'll know more about the 750 transalp after the first 1000 miles.
