Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda NX500 2024

The Honda NX500 is a versatile A2 adventure bike that is particularly at home on tarmac and can offer a lot from everyday riding to relaxed touring. It has no major shortcomings, while at the same time offering many strengths, albeit not spectacular ones. On long journeys, the relaxed riding position and the good suspension, which also performs well on winding roads in combination with the improved brakes, are a delight. Pragmatists can look forward to low fuel consumption and a high range, and it can even cope with light off-roads.

Honda XL750 Transalp 2025

The bottom line is that even after the successful model update, the XL750 is a Transalp as a Transalp should be, which has always been regarded as a smooth-running, comfortable all-rounder. The combination of proven technology, improved comfort features and modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems makes the bike an attractive companion for adventure-seekers and everyday riders alike.
