I would like some advice and would like to know why you say so not merely what your favourite is.

I can get both a Honda  Transalp 700 2009 model with 30 000 Km's on the clock as well a 2011 Yamaha XT660R with 10 000km's on the clock.

The price is exactly the same on both.

Which one would you take and why?

Please note that I would like to do some touring mostly on tar but have off road capability on sand roads.
No Baviaans, Lesoto or the likes ever.

I want a smaller and more docile sightseeing bike to tour the country and country side  than a GS1200 or large KTM.
Please don't suggest other bikes as the question relates to these two bikes only. :thumleft:
