We are in transylvania now we stopped just on the boarder of Romania last night in a little rustic hostel and very nice it was to.set of this morning at about 10 ish with a stop at a salt mine called salina turda well well worth a visit you have a half mile walk down a tunnel and it opens out into ...

The engine is the right size for a "do it all"--and Yamaha seem pretty good on pricing at the moment. However, it will never be a good trail bike if the trails are as Wales etc (unless you are young, over 6ft and called Knight)--but fine for open fire roads etc. To reinforce a previous com...

If your return leg involves Slovenia......a really nice country to pass through.....If you like spectacular caves, there's a great cave system at Postojna in the South West of the country.

Thanks for the informed replies--I knew it would happen. :laugh: It has a quoted top speed of 112 mph, over 60 mpg and its a 750!--based on half a car engine that is actually efficient-- being undersquare and not revving much above 6k--its all talk (torque!)--you can get a termignoni silencer for it...

can't seem to add a vid link yet--but trying! The footpegs (for standing/posing) are an option!

has anyone had a test ride on the Honda X-ADV--750 "crossover"--is it a scoot--or a bike? Personally I like the concept for general use and touring. Its a bit pricey, but seems to tick a lot of boxes.
