Sold to Treadless on credit! Transalp 1990/91

mas335 · 08-13-2009, 06:12 PM

SOLD This is a very nice 1990 Transalp with 8,750 miles. The body work has been completely changed to the 1991 G137M European color which was never sold in the US. This is probably the only Transalp in the US with this color so you won't be seeing another one of these for sale. This bike has had a full frame up restoration and is all original with no mods except for the front brake upgrade and the GIVI bars. Plastic is in nice condition but not perfect.

Lot's of other images upon request. $3900.00 firm. Clean N. C. title in hand. NO trades. Serious inquiries only.

I was not sure if I would like this green on green, it just doesn't sound "motorcycle" to me and doesn't show that well in photos. Having said that I have really grown to like it and everyone who sees it sure likes it.

All pm's returned.

Photo attached is before the GIVI guard was installed.

Gorgeous bike. Fell in love with the color scheme on a bike I saw in Spain once. Bump it up in search of the right buyer. Wish it were me.

mas335 · 08-17-2009, 01:57 PM

Thought I better clarify that the restoration was recent and not a old project so everything still sparkles. Photos are current.

Damn man, you know how to do it to a guy. Bump for one sweet TA.

mas335 · 08-17-2009, 02:29 PM

It's a curse, I just love making these bikes like new again. It's amazing what time does to these machines when the just sit in a shed and not ridden.

TheMule · 08-17-2009, 04:33 PM

Somebody buy this!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Freakin' gorgeous.

husky123 · 08-17-2009, 06:12 PM

I think the shock/linkage pic says it all!

locorider · 08-17-2009, 06:47 PM

Shandy · 08-17-2009, 06:59 PM
