Honda XL750 Transalp 2024

Honda XL750 Transalp 2024

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, but also very accessible Wonderfully easy to operate engine with butter-smooth clutch

Precise transmission

great pillion and plenty of space for pillion rider

Sporty engine - yet low fuel consumption

Switches and dashboard are generally robust

Economical engine
