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

Zontes 703F 2025

The Zontes 703F Adventure is a Chinese adventure bike that is not far behind the established competition in the segment. For a really competitive price, it offers a lot, some special features, solid riding performance and good touring suitability. The only thing missing is some fine-tuning in the details, such as ABS or load changes in first gear. However, small weaknesses can be forgiven - measured in terms of value per euro. There is no other 95 Horsepower adventure bike with an Inline three-cylinder engine this cheap.

Extensive standard equipment: USB ports, electric windscreen, centre stand, heated grips, dashcams and more

independent three-cylinder engine with (almost always) smooth reponsiveness

well-balanced, fully adjustable Marzocchi suspension

good TFT display

high range

Unpleasant load changes in first gear

engine needs a lot of revs for sporty acceleration

front brakes need a lot of manual force for hard braking manoeuvres

not too fine ABS control behaviour

wind protection on the shoulders could be improved
