Which bike? Decision made. Honda Trans Alp

Took delivery today. Its a cracking little bike. Its no road racer but I'm not planning to race to the Nordkapp. Its a torquey 700c twin with a good top speed, very comfortable, heated grips which work (very important), and great fun to ride. Afterall, I am going to ride a few miles on it so it has to fun and comfortable!

Which motorcycle to ride to the Nordkapp? Honda TransAlp?

Well, I may have made a decision. Test rode the new Honda VFR 1200. It rides well and reminds me of my old Blackbird. However, I fancy something more sedate and laid back for this trip. The Nordkapp by motorcycle is a long way and I don't have much time. I think now my team mate (Tim Wade) and I will both be riding TransAlps. Test rode one yesterday and liked it a lot more than I thought I would.
