Compared with the outgoing lineup, the way this gap opened up is what interests me. At 755cc and 468 pounds, the Transalp goes all-in on manageability. Lay the spec sheet next to the Africa Twin's 1,084cc and it's basically a different category of bike. That's the good part — more room to actually choose.
