Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda XL750 Transalp 2023

The Transalp had to prove itself in several tests at 1000PS in 2023. Surprisingly, it scored particularly well in the pillion test on Tenerife. Its accessible nature makes motorcycling easy. You can enjoy the ride and the landscape. The machine offers a surprising amount of sportiness with a very accessible character. All in all, the Transalp is a great all-rounder.

Sporty engine that is also very accessible Wonderfully easy-to-operate engine with butter-smooth clutch

Engine feels very revvy

Precise transmission

great comfort and plenty of space for pillion

Sporty engine - yet low fuel consumption

Switches and dashboard are generally robust

Economical engine

good price/performance ratio

great stability

strong practicality

Driver assistance systems have to manage without IMU - therefore very defensive control

Suspension offers too little adjustment range

no cruise control available

Yamaha R1 2019

The 2020 R1 model - already available from September - is an evolutionary step that will benefit both the trackday racer and the Yamaha SBK team. The amateur is most likely to benefit from the truly perfect electronics and will also appreciate a little extra power.

powerful engine

clean response

in the right hands a very fast track bike

perfectly tuned electronics

ABS system not 100 per cent satisfactory
