Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB750 Hornet 2025

The Honda CB750 Hornet 2025 shows that targeted technical revisions can achieve more than major visual changes. The new suspension setup significantly lifts the model, while the proven two-cylinder engine continues to impress with its riding pleasure and suitability for everyday use. If you are looking for a versatile, stable and affordable naked bike, the Hornet is a well-engineered overall package with only a few weaknesses.

Stable, revised suspension with very good riding performance

Powerful and cultivated two-cylinder engine with a wide usable torque curve

Good ergonomics and confidence-inspiring riding position

Extensive standard equipment including TFT display, riding modes, traction control

Low fuel consumption and easy to maintain

A2 throttle adjustable

Typical Honda reliability and solid workmanship

Simple processing details (e.g. swing arm) partly visibly due to the price

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
