Thanks for the welcome - been distracted trawling interweb for bike! Might have found something suitable, unfortunately just stumbled across the 'gearbox' post :-(
Well I had to rebuild the Transalp engine just after buying it and it went on for another 50K miles - can do without that again...
The Transalp was perfect for round here Papa, until it was attacked from the side by a moron in a car and is written off - just got acceptance from third party insurance they'll pay so hunt is on for the replacement. Really gutting as I'd completely rebuilt it last winter, powder coated frame and engine(!) - looked great!
Did think about 700 Transalp til I saw the collector box - don't think that would work here! So looks like Tenere is still favourite ;-)
