In the long-term test, the Honda XL750 Transalp proves to be a versatile and reliable adventure bike that combines touring comfort with solid off-road capability. It is not a sports bike, but an honest, uncomplicated adventure bike for anyone looking for a reliable bike for road and gravel. Minor weaknesses in the suspension and electronic settings hardly spoil the overall very positive impression.

Like the Kawasaki Versys, the small V-Strom is getting on a bit. The 1000 is so well done and easy to ride that you should consider taking the "big one" right away. In terms of versatility, however, the 650 is in no way inferior to the big V-Strom, and at a much lower price. But we wouldn't take it to the racetrack any more. And of course it has to cope with a heavy load more than a motorbike with 100+ hp.
