| Video Discription | http://crosstrainingenduro.com Our Honda Transalp review! We actually summarised a pile of reviews last year but now our Canadian cousins have tested the beast and reported in. Welcome to Cross Training Adventure, we are into all things dual sport and adventure on the east coast of Australia. They released the very first model in 1986 and called it a 'new concept touring motorbike'. It wasn't exactly a new concept. BMW and other brands were also creating adventure models that could eat up the highway miles and behave well off-road as well. Keen on adventure riding in Australia? Check out our vids. But of course it had Honda's legendary reliability which guaranteed it would become popular. A quick history of Honda Transalp models and their known issues and a Honda XL750 Transalp review. Believe it or not, Honda used to be serious about enduro and adventure motorbikes in the 1980s. The first model was the Honda Transalp 600 and ran from 1986 to 1999. A bit heavy but it had the 21 inch front wheel for good off-road manners. If you like dual sport riding in Australia then you might like our adventure riding vids. In 2023 they released the Honda Transalp XL750. Check out our reviews of various adventure bikes and dual sport bikes. It went back to the 21 inch front wheel and finally Honda got serious about shedding some weight. Curb weight is 208kg which is similar to the competition - Yamaha's Tenere 700 and KTM's 890. Unlike earlier Transalp models, the suspension and brakes are really working well. Handling? All the reviewers said the road handling was superb and could well be best-in-class. The Honda Transalp 750 is very light and flickable. A few owners reported rattles in the head unit, spokes that rusted easily, and some head-shake. What about the new Honda Transalp 750 model? It hasn't been around long enough to have any long-term reports. Some great news. So how reliable is the Transalp 600? The early 600 and 650 models? Owners say the engine is incredibly reliable. Generally the only issues reported by some riders are overly soft suspension, soft brakes, and cheap plastics that break easily. The Honda Transalp 700 model? The second generation was 2000 to 2007 and engine was upped to a Honda Transalp 650. This is what I'm riding here in Romania. Generation three? 2008 to 2012. The engine went to 680cc and oddly they put the smaller 19 inch front wheel on the Honda Transalp 700. And finally generation four. Again, very reliable. It likes to rev and and has a strong top-end with 91 horsepower. But it has plenty of low-down grunt too. Early reports indicate it will be cheaper than all its competitors: KTM 890, Tenere 700, Aprilia Tuareg and even the Chinese made CF Moto 800MT. We scanned a pile of current reviews to find complaints about the new Transalp. And there isn't much to complain about. Despite a range of settings, most Honda Transalp test riders felt the ABS and traction control aren't very good for off-road riding and just turned them off. The new Transalp 750 may not be as dirt-worthy as its competition, but it really stands out as an 80/20 motorbike... 80% road riding and 20% off-road riding. Ever owned a Honda Transalp? Or thinking of buying the new Honda Transalp 750? Cross Training Adventure actively avoids sponsorship. We like doing seriously critical reviews. Manufacturers make some really bad mistakes. and there is a lot of dodgy crap being sold out there. Instead of glowing dual sport reviews for kickbacks or free product, we will try to keep the buggers honest. So subscribe. Or don't subscribe to our Cross Training Adventure riding channel. The main thing is get out and ride while you can with dual sport riding or Adventure riding in Australia, Canada, Vietnam, Romania and beyond! So check out Cross Training Adventure. Let us know in the comments. The windscreen isn't adjustable and one review mentioned some wind buffeting. There's no quick-shifter on the Honda Transalp 750. mThe old style rims mean tubed tyres only. However, all the reviewers pointed out that these issues come down to price. The Honda XL750 Transalp is shaping up to be the cheapest model in its class so obviously some bling will be missing. The good stuff? The short-stroke engine was a real hit with everyone. This is one of our three channels, there's also a Cross Training Trials channel, and a Cross Training Enduro channel. So most of our adventure riding vids will feature the much loved bush pig, the Suzuki DR650.
