Actually giving me the confidence to learn to ride! Being 6ft 290lb…didn’t think it was an option. Keep the vids coming! It’s windy!!! That damn tank bag tho haha
I chose a 2024 Transalp as my first bike. While I had to go into it with both eyes open, I figured I wasn't ultimately bothered by it being a 750 because I'm not a young, risk-taking adrenaline junkie who was going to let the power get me in trouble. And while a lighter bike would obviously be easier to handle and learn on, the Transalp carries its weight low, I'm committed to learning and I'm a larger stature guy. A smaller, lighter dual sport would have had a flatter, safer learning curve but I wanted a bike I wouldn't grow out of and could comfortably take on longer sport touring trips as well as do some light offroading adventure touring on. And I don't think I'll ever need to upgrade to anything bigger or in a different style.
The Transalp 750 is a road bike and it's a big adventure bike that too big for the majority of beginners. It has too much HP, the throttle by wire is quicky, quick shifter/blipper will be confusing. The seat height of 33.7, and a higher center of gravity makes it easier to drop the bike. Lower cc/hp road bikes like cruisers, standard bikes, or smaller adventure bikes are best suited. You may gain experience by dropping a bike, but becoming proficient with less effort and intimidation on a smaller bike will build your confidence.
I will leave that the tft on my 21 africa twin looks damn near identical. Will should beable to set up user 1 and user 2. User 1 I have everything at the minimum user 2 everything all the way up. The goofy part is the power full bars is a more delayed throttle 1 bar is a very aggressive throttle I just learned that on my bike last week I always left it full bars because I thought it was more power we'll really 1 bar is more power
If memory serves, it's ABS that resets and switches back on every time you switch the key to the Off position. The modes are consistent, but I think the lawyers wanted the ABS to be nanny-mode.
I disagree. It all depends on the rider. I started on a Tenere-700 and have been just fine. Then again I'm 6'2" so my feet touch the ground fine. I've also been driving trucks for the better part of a decade so my discipline is more refined than the average car driver. I think it's possible, but on a case by case basis.
What mic's are yal using for the in helmet audio?? I get pops and crackles no matter what I do settings wise with mine, gotta be the mic at this point.
