Generational change

That moment where past and future meet on the street and you make that gesture with the hand that we do motorcyclists.

That moment where past and future meet on the street and you make that gesture with the hand that we do motorcyclists. Two fingers just to not remove his hand from the handlebar that the curve is right here behind. So my Kawasaki ZRX, bassa forehead always eats, He looked at the new advances, un po’ in malo modo. I parked in the middle of old irons and told me: “ma che davvero davvero mi lasci qui? And for that then sgallettata?”. “Eh sì, is the fate and knows how to be cruel, but I can not keep all the bikes that I would keep, I still have the old CB in a constant way of re-assembling, I can not hold you too, and then it costs me. I stamp duty costs, mi costi di benzina… Prendo qualcosa di più efficiente”.

In truth I would have gladly took another Kawasaki. I found myself very well with the ZRX – consumi di benzina a parte – ma scrutando i modelli proposti dalla Casa delle verdone non ho trovato nulla ma proprio nulla in linea con il mio gusto. Sometimes it seems that the Japanese do it on purpose to leave the coolest models in Japan. Or maybe I just can not seem to adapt to the taste of the Italian market, the jump. At the end I focused on a Honda Transalp, the only bike that can respond to my needs at the moment. I want to clarify that, con le sole esclusioni della CB 1100 e the Transalp, non trovo per nulla attraenti le nuove Honda, have a terrible line. Perhaps for this reason that the very Transalp, I learn, was discontinued and therefore no longer be able to buy new! But the Hondas are reliable, I still have a Honda 1981 and I know what I'm talking, and then the change of the Honda of butter, morbid and accurate, has no equal. Among the Honda Transalp I chose because it consumes little, is convenient for travel, is tireless, there are a lot of accessories and spare parts, and with a trio of cases does not seem a crock Teutonic. I also came across an opportunity that I could not miss: a 2009 with only 7.266 km traveled, spotless. Nei prossimi mesi la metterò alla prova – oh sì, sono ansioso di farlo – e vi terrò aggiornati. The first few miles are promising even if that shot full-bodied, the grit and velvety throat that scream that had the ZRX not be coming back and I will miss.
