Sold the T7 and CB500X. Down to a three bike garage as a commuter no longer required.

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.

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.

Post by: loudpedal on March 06, 2024, 18:16:57: 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.
