Honda Transalp XL650V : Hunts Motorcycles. First for new Honda and used bikes in Manchester....

If your search for riding fun sometimes takes you off the beaten path, then the long-legged Transalp might be just the bike you need to get you where you want to go.

Giving stronger emphasis to the Transalp's sporty and adventurous nature, the new 2005 model features new detailing touches that really catch the eye. One of the first changes to be noticed is the new black alumite finish gracing its lightweight aluminium wheel rims. Sharing the same colour shade and semi-gloss finish as the dual-sport tyres they mount, these new rims project a tougher image that perfectly complements the Transalp's new colours. Providing another detailed accent on this aggressive new black image, the inner rotor of the Transalp's rear disc brake has also been painted with a new matte black finish to match the front wheel hub and the black of the new rims, for a contribution to the bike's overall sense of functional good looks. Another attractive new design touch can be seen in the Transalp's new stainless steel dual exhaust ends. Tapering at the ends like air jets, these decorative new pieces also extend a more exhilarating tone to the Transalp's exhaust note.
