transalps engines are fairly robust, but check oil consumption.
Rear wheels rot really badly,
The reg/recs get too hot, heatsink them if you can, some even go for fan cooling using a computer fan.
The rear shock goes ropey, quite quickly (universal problem)
I have a really old, abused ta600/650 sidecar outfit, and as Brighty will confirm, They can go on interminably.
