It looks as off road as a Honda CR-V...

How does the Trans Alp differ from the Africa Twin?

Personally getting a little tired of the "all black" themes in bike coloring, the new red/white/blue RS looks yummy.

 

[Johndicezx9]

For starters, the TransAlp is a 750, the AT is an 1100...

The TA looks a little more road oriented and, to me, appears to be lower, particularly with seat height.

As of now, I don't believe it will hit the US market.

You'll give it some off-road cred!

(It is intriguing.)

I just made a mess in my pants!!!!

That thing is BEYOND SEXXY!!!!

I have no illusions that I could ever ride something like that, but it is SEXXY!!

You could ride it find Ed, with all the electronics on it. Modern moto electronics are a thing of beauty. It's just that you it may never release ALL of those 240 horses at one time for ya...

The updated 2023 Ducati Scrambler...

Looks good other than the odd tail assembly.

I think the Suzuki 8S is gonna be good for Suzuki...

Dig the blue one.

Easily fixed. My Multi had that in 2016. I agree it is awkward looking at best.

 

[Johndicezx9]

There's a white one, too...

Africa Twin gets some e-tweaks and BNGs...

 

[Joezilla916]

When do I get my hover-bike???

 

[Johndicezx9]

They've already got them, but they're being suppressed by the tire companies... for obvious reasons.

The Vespa GTv, they're most powerful scooter ever....

The second generation of the Gtv has been released at Eicma and is equipped with the most powerful engine in a Vespa to date.

The 278cc single cylinder engine boasts 23.8bhp, generated by its 4-valve, liquid cooled, fuel injected configuration.

Traction control and ABS are standard and the journey begins with a keyless, button starter.

^ That's a great deal at $8K.

That is a nice looking motorcycle

I prefer the white one, but I still choke back a verp at the insectoid/transformers front.

Parallel twin.

Same weight as my obsolete (far more expensive I'm guessing), F800ST but oddly less power. F800ST has 85hp/63.5lbft.

Claimed Horsepower: 82.0 hp @ 8,500 rpm
Claimed Torque: 57.5 lb.-ft. @ 6,800 rpm
