Motorcycle brand: Honda
Motorcycle model: Transalp 600
Motorcycle year: 1996
Tell us your story with this preparation (why this style? Why this model? ...)
I am 20 years old, I started the motorcycle at 19 years old. My father had a 1996 Transalp 600, he ended up giving it to me. I wanted a motorcycle with a Racer coffee style, the problem, I had no money. So I said to myself, since I have no money, instead of buying one, I'm going to build one with what I have. This is the story that gave birth to this project. So I end up with my coffee racer for less than 2000 euros and it's pretty funny to see people's heads when they ask me what motorcycle it is and that I answer them that it is a Honda Transalp. I gave her a little facelift is cool PS: it is my very first motorcycle project of course it is far from perfect. You have to be wrong to learn.
Here is a photo of the original model:

Remmotorcycle's little word:
Bravo Esteban for this project!
Indeed made a Racer / Bratcafé coffee on a transalp is an original project and the result is successful! The dimensions and the forms are harmonious and the marriage of the green tank and the Camel saddle is at the top!

Bonjour, très chouette résultat pour cette transalp, par pur hasard possédez vous encore quelque pièce de carrosserie orignaux ?
Par exemple tête de fourche, “carénage frontale”
