This Transalp is carburated. The new Transalps in Europe are fuel injected (I think). I was a lifelong resident of Colorado and rode the TA up to the top of Mt. Evans (14,264 ft) and to the top of Pike's Peak (14,110 ft) and it performed without a problem. I highly recommend changing the front sprocket one tooth higher. This slows the RPM down about 500 and makes the bike much more comfortable on longer rides without compromising acceleration too much.
