New Honda Transalp 750
 
Finally its here - the new and much anticipated Honda Transalp 750.

https://www.motorcycle.com/new-model...irst-look.html

Looks good on paper me thinks although a gas tank of only 16,9 liters is a bit disappointing imo. 21/18 spoked wheels, wet weight of 208 kilos is about the same as the Tenere 700 and the Tuareg 660 but the Transalp have more displacement and power. And its a Honda so reliability should be top notch.

Edit: Just noticed that the exhaust pipes goes under the engine and by that will be exposed to the ground if riding at uneven surfaces and thats not a good thing I guess..?

What da ya think guys and gals?

Yeah, I have seen the video from the Milan Show, it looks really nice.
I was going to put my deposit down on the CB500x this week but I am not too sure now. Although I don’t know when it will be out in Thailand.

It will be a great overlanding bike for sure. Won't buy the first years model tho. I also want to see the maintenance interval and test how the engine feels.

Nice looking bike, but tubed tyres. What is so difficult about tubeless tyres? That was one of the main reasons I went with the kTM 790.

The Transalp looks very good. We are getting spoiled for choice in the middleweight adventure bike market.

I have made spoked wheel tubeless. It's not rocket science.

I'm more excited about Rieju Adventura Legend.. 39L of fuel with Honda 500cc parallel twin.
