I'd buy the Transalp!!
Never owned a Suzuki, so i'm not talking from my own experience, but I do know hondas, and the Transalp will far outlive the others in terms of build quality, and those engines are derived from the old Reveres/ntv's, which were couriers favorites, and bloody indestructible. I have seen suzi's fall of their stands and the footrests/levers are made of chocolate... they just snap. I know this because i've replaced them on my mates sv650.
In a nutshell, good engines and gearboxes, but wont take the punishment of a Honda.
Good luck!
PS. And better on the road than any single cylinder.
