A few thoughts.
Hyosung, out of South Korea, are using the Susi SV V-2 engine in the UK. Could be the same in Oz?
There are a few versions of the Transalp listed and even though your official list is dated July 11 perhaps it will be updated for the latest, 700cc (actually 680cc), version.
Take a look at other threads in here, as many as you want for a range of opinions. For instance, try looking at what is said about the Kawasaki Versys, but that is not listed for Victoria; again, an update of the list is possible? It is often known as the "KLE", same as the earlier 500cc bike.
The fuel injected F650GS is restricted simply by a small gizmo placed on the throttle linkage which limits the range of movement of the throttle; riding this bike with and without this "power restrictor" I could not feel the difference, except for the obvious lack of the final twist of the throttle!! So the top speed was a bit restricted but not the horses on the way to that top speed.
It costs pennies to fit and costs nothing to be removed later.
Anyway, try as many as possible. Where you can't then look around your home area and see what is popular and ask the riders why they own their bikes.
