    So I got myself a Honda Hornet 600, which is nice and quick and everything - but with 6'3" no joke on long trips.

    Selling it atm for a touring bike, because fuck back pain and my wrists will also thank me.

    I'm having my eye out for an XTZ 750 Super Tenere, circa 1992. Can anyone here give me some info about bikes like these?

    I like the looks of the XTZ750 and that it has a torquey and powerful engine. But its sooo old. I could get a ten years younger Honda Transalp for that money.

    • I wouldn't say it's "sooo old" haha My 1950 Triumph...that is old. I'd look into availability of parts. That being said, those XTZ's were pretty robust machinesGM278
    • I have a friend who owned a Transalp for AGES and the only thing he ever did was change the oil. Both bikes are pretty bulletproof.GM278
    • yeah, will test ride the Honda today. Super Teneres are quite rare here. Only 4 within 100km reach.mekk
    • the transalp is too small for me, my knees are too high when sitting.mekk
