Thank you so much for your kind words. We have been lucky to have lots of “experiences” over the years. But the experiences we have now are just as wonderful thanks to the likes of you, Darren and @exeterrider and many many other bike enthusiasts I’m meeting. It’s why I decided I had to go to the Dragon Rally as well. You meet the nicest people on bikes. Most are as mad as a box of frogs but lovely to know. Anyway… loved the review and even more so as we got to experience so much of the route. Did the panel of your lid catch the wind?
Nice video , have done 13500 km on my 23 Versys 650 , it gets better as it gets run in, gearbox smooths out , riding in traction 2 mode is best for commuting in low speed situations. Traction 1 mode allows wheelies with a bit of intervention , traction off , wheelies are free form . It’s good on smooth gravel but the small 17 inch front wheel doesn’t like proper off road . Great twisties bike , great touring solo bike .
I too was impressed with the Trans Alp. As much as I’d love to have one in the garage, I refuse to buy the only color in the USA , matte black. It doesn’t hold up.
Why has nobody commented on that small diameter metal bar above the instrument cluster? Far to s MN all diameter to be of any use! I have a 2024 Versys and can not find any use for it at all!!

@orionswitness that’s a good distance!
The 1000 was blimming epic aswell👍👍
The dash looked good. Many bike rev show how the dash gets all blurry at speed but this one didn’t.

Yeah, the colours don’t do it any favours.
