Nice to see you Alex! I'm picking up my Transalp in a month. I hope it will meet my expectations ;) Greetings! 👍30
It will :) great bike choice 👍👍👍
Nice review and a bike that really appeals to me. It sounds like you enjoyed and it clear how much you enjoyed the NC during over your time with that bike.
Thanks :) yes I really liked this bike 👍
I always look forward to your reviews. Between this and the Tenere I would pick the Tenere for sure.
Thanks :) I will also stay with Tenere for now
Nice sound !!!! thx for test
Thanks for watching :)
Thank you for review. Waiting your review for Honda NT1100 :)
Gut gemacht 👍
Danke :) es gibt auch die deutsche Version des Videos ;)
@@MrMegaPerez ja, ich habe schön gesehen))
The engine sounds beautiful cheers from Australia
It is :)
thanks for the different languages mate. nice review
Thanks :)
Great Great review! I went to the dealer and I seat on ktm 890 , the 790 adv r , the tenere and the transalp... well as for riding position the tenere felt like wood and very top heavy.
Ktm 890 ' 23 felt lighter than a 200 kilos but uncomfortable, and the plastics on the dash are already recycled..
The 790 adv r '2019 felt high and it is high but the ergonomics are good and finally to the transalp...
Well the moment you sit on it feels like you own the bike for a year. It definitely not top heavy , somehow they achieve that , and.. feels great! And performance??!! I test the hornet that shares the same engine and its a rocket!!!
Thats all from Me! Great video again!!!
Thanks for you Feedback 👍 I’m saying the same at the beginning of this video.. you sit on the Transalp and you feel home 😊 just like you have been riding it for a few month ;) great machine 👍
I want to know if it feels like the hornet because The hornet is really awesome
Great review Alex. For most riders this is the sweet spot. All bikes are a compromise and the Transalp is no exception , it will sell well and fulfil the needs of most riders, and at a great price. Thanks for the review.
Thanks :) I see it just like you, there is no perfect bike ;)
The bike looks cool and because it is Honda it is gonna sell well in my opinion. Would like to try one soon. Just rode the Aprilia Tuareg 660 and it felt like a really good ADV bike. Will upload it on my channel soon. Drop by mate, you may like my content.
I can't get past that ugly headlight and front end.. My 2008 700 VA Transalp wasn't a looker from the front either but they could have done a lot better.
@@MagicAyrtonforever I agree about the look, that is why I only like the white and blue one. :) Drop by mate, you may like my content.
Toop Review!@@
Gut gemacht!!! Klar, deutlich, essentiell
Danke

Willy🍀💫🍾👍
No ambient temp? jes Honda ahead this on bikes 25 years ago, good video, subbed.
Thanks :) yes I couldn’t believe it at first. How difficult ist it to make it? Well, it’s still a great bike 👍
Well done mate. My pick would be the white and blue one, but this one also looks cool. S, engine wise not a lot more than the Tenere. I am surprised a bit about this. Will have to go and try it. Thanks mate. Got my like.
p.s. Drop by when have time.
Thanks 😊
Yes especially till 5000rpm there is no big difference to the Tenere but after you feel it but nothing crazy
Thank you for the review Alex, what I understand is that after 5000 rpm you can feel the power, what about under 5000 does it vibrate more? The rear suspension seems very soft, it was as standard preset? I suppose after pre-load adjustment will be stiffer. The front suspension doesn't have even a pre-load adjustment unfortunately.... After riding it does it makes you switch from the Tenere? Still the price with full accessories pack it's quite high at Transalp.... 11,500 plus at least 2000 EUR accessories 😢
Hey, it doesn’t vibrate more the engine is super smooth but you don’t feel the big power till 5000rpm compared to the T7 for example.
Suspension was standard setup
I don’t know if I want to switch if it would have DCT than for sure but like this I don’t know it’s an awesome bike but the Tenere as well :/
My plan is to take it for a two day ride and then decide.
I would not take any packages. Just buy barkbusters and Engine protection for SW motech in black that’s it :)
Great review~ I hope you get to test the new Suzuki Vstrom 800. Such a beautiful country~ where are you located?
Thanks 🙏 it’s in the Black Forest close to St. Georgen
I will try to test ride the Suzi if I get a chance
Good in depth review thanx.
Nice looking machine in the tricolour option.
More positivs than negatives.
But yet it seems like another halfhearted product from Honda i was expecting more.
Positives:
Best Transalp in the line up yet:
Looks, 6speed, Engine, 21/18, Robust forks & suspension, fully led lights, self cancelling blinkers, accessable seatheight, Adequat suspension travel & ground clearence, handling on tarmac, alllrounder, Comfort & ergonomics, enough electronics. Easy removal of panels , many tailormade accesory options, Click on luggage system & hopefully not too top heavy.
Negatives:
Suspension, Low muffler, No easy adjustable windscreen, seems like Airfilter located under the fueltank, No cruise control, No tubeless, To naked out of the box, No Angle valves, No Wingbadge,Qustionable quality of Honda overprized accesories, No Gps mounting bar, No Usb charger out of the box, Price will add up as You put nessesary accesories, no spring loaded gear & break levers, No adjustable front fender & No Dct
Conclusion:
For the price of this machine with all its accesories in My country is far higher than am willing to put down. I rather consider Africa Twin Crf1000 from 2016-2019 cheaper, more power, Dct, Better suspension, better offroad, & with all proper accessories.
Wow thanks for the summery :) I totally forgot about the air filter this sucks on a bike like this :(
I agree they could have made it better
Nice review. I have watched many reviews about this bike and no one mentioned that this bike is lacking a remote preload adjuster for rear shock. I understand that it is a budget bike but uprgrading the suspension is not cheap too. I will go for a tiger 900 or 890 adv
Yes the suspension is a week spot on this bike but I think it will be fine for 90% of the riders because most of us don’t have the pro skills ;)
Add an aftermarket shock and still have thousands in your pocket and better suspension than any OEM shocks.
Great review 👍👍Can you please tell me where the air cleaner is located ? Cheers
Thanks, I’m not sure 🤔 I think it’s under the tank and not so easy to reach
Sounds like you REALLY liked the Transalp! I am torn between it and the NC750x. I like both, am 58 years old and not that tall. Gravel maybe, no real off road. It would be great to have your opinion of the 3 bikes given your experience. Thanks for your videos!!!
Hi, I would take the NC750X DCT if gravel is the most technical stuff you gonna ride :) the NC with DCT, 17 inch wheels, low center of gravity and this torque engine is just awesome for road riding
Appreciate your comments. I think Albina would prefer this bike as a pillion over the Tenere, though I agree the Tenere is better for more technical off road riding.
Yes Albina said already she would like it more. She is also a Honda fan ;)
Thanks for making an English version. 👍
Happy to help :)
Hi there!two questions if you can...compared with the tenere,the seat is comfier and the wind protecion better?an second,on road, it goes better than tenere,you know turns and handling.
Hi, seat is more comfortable wir the Transalp and the wind protection also :)
On the road it’s just as good as the Tenere but if you have fast turns or bumpy road you can feel the more budget suspension of the Transalp
Great gloves!
Thanks, they are made of skin 😂
No seriously I wear them usually just for the video I needed my finger to use the cam.
@@MrMegaPerez I do often promo videos for the company I work for. Which manufactures safety equipment. Almost every time something is forgotten at the first take. So only when watching the video on cam I notice the small details. “Dammit, no gloves. No eyewear. No this. No that.” 🤭
Et la Suzuki 800 DE ?
It looks like a NC750 X with spoked wheels. I'd be interested to see what percentage of the NC is on the Transalp and if the changes are merely consmetic and tuning/gear ratios.
They could have made a great Transalp out of the NC750X
Great video thanks!! I would really consider this bike as a substitute for my nc700x, it is a shame that the suspension as a bit weaker for mixed use (on off road), I personally would not mind to pay extra £800 and have a better suspension, but I also understand that not everyone will take this bike off road. External temperature? What a joke, no remote nob for the rear suspension another joke but even though I think I’m in love❤
Yes some week spots here and there but an awesome bike in general anyway and definitely an upgrade from the NC750X ;)
It probably is a NC750X with different clothes on.
Rear brake o the T7. There is a fix from Camel ADV and it realy works. so maybe get that for the T7.
Cheers from my T7 trip to Albania (starting in Switzerland)
Thanks for the tip with the breaks 👍 have fun on you trip. Albania 🇦🇱 is awesome I liked it a lot
If you ride a few dirt roads on the way to your destination, this is your bike. It's not made to be a hardcore adv. A bike that checks a lot of boxes for many people.
I agree :) this bike is like a Toyota. Not the best at anything, not to exiting and definitely not pretty but it is reliable and will get you safe to your destination
….made the right choice on my recent purchase for sure then, with my 2023 Yamaha Ténéré! 👍🏻
No remote preload adjuster on the rear shock was the deal breaker for me on this bike!
Also putting no ‘air temp’ on this Honda was a stupid decision..
My Ténéré sounds totally awesome now with its aftermarket Scorpion exhaust, one of the best sounding (if not the best) 270 degree parallel twins out there IMO!!
The Ténéré looks way better also, although that is subjective.
I wanted a simple bike with no rider modes or aids on it whatsoever, so again the Yamaha won out, the new TFT is super sleek on the new 2023 model too 😎
The Tenere is a better bike in many ways 👍 Transalp has a few perks. You did the right decision and I did a s well and will probably keep my T7
i love the look. i used to own a base model africa twin 1100 and it was a torque/wheelie machine and perfect for my 187cm but i think for most normal riding this thing ticks just as many boxes. also the africa twin wasnt the sharpest in the corners and i believe this from all the reviews is nimble in the corners. i never used the apple car play or half the mumbo jumbo in the africa twin electronics and i appreciate the more minimal electronics on this. i wouldnt say for my height the africa twin felt cumbersome but i would also appreciate the lighter feel just backing it in to car parks etc as i am getting older. this is a minor point but a really great one. the base africa twin didnt come with the passenger handrails, they were a stupid $400 or $500 extra so its great you get the tft dash, taller screen than the base africa twin, and handrails. all in all its a win win i just dont know if i could part with my beloved moto guzzi
Thanks for your feedback. Africa Twin is definitely in another class

Это плевок потребителю прямо в глаза. Типа и так пойдет.
Expectation: killer of T7 and Tuareg 660.
Reality: another road bike from Honda with a long list of extra accessories that you need to buy right away.
No, definitely not a Tenere or Tuareg killer. The Transalp looks similar on paper but it’s a completely different bike. Still I think a lot of people will be happy with it because most of us don’t have the skills to ride the other two properly ;) for example my T7 is actually an overkill for me I could never use it’s full potential
@@MrMegaPerez yes and no. I had a 21 NC750x and was less happy about it than you were. Now I put 2500km on my Tuareg 660 and it just feels so comfortable even when I slowly explore mountain trails. I may not use the whole potential of the bike but I wouldn't want something less capable (or less absorbing) especially for the same money. Why would I??
Tuareg and T7 are proper all-arounders with the lowest weight in the class. Honda could have added a proper fork and proper rear shock, made the suspension fully adjustable (for those who wanted to find a road bike in it) and come up with a great alloy of cb500, nc750 and Africa... but decided to save peanuts again and failed (((
Only complaint I have is because it's more ROAD focused IT should come with Cruise Control and Tubeless tires...
I agree and there are more flaws with this bike :/
Very nice bike and your country is beautiful!
It’s the Black Forest in Germany:) it’s perfect for bike riding

What gloves are you wearing. They're very close to skin colour ?
Yes they are made out of the finest leather 😅
Oh and from now on tenere is tynyry!!! Hehe!
Can’t believe it doesn’t display the temperature, that’s very poor
There are a few flaws in that bike :/
gib gas junge
Thanks for your opinion . I’m torn between buying the Transalp or the Suzuki 800de .
Think this has just made my mind up .
Thanks again.
Nice 👍 happy I can help :)
I will test the Suzi as well when I get the chance
honda as usually went cheap with transalp, really disappointing.
Well some parts like the fender… yes I agree. But in general it’s still a great bike try it
@@MrMegaPerez naah, not some parts like fender which is fine BTW - but headlight from CB500X, tubed tyres, not adjustable suspension, no cruise control, no USB port, no skid plate. Despite of this bike being obviously a road biased they put 21" front wheel and tubes... WTF
@@robsonenduro3316 you have a point there 🤔
Budget bike. So many negatives.
It is a budget bike but it doesn’t mean that it’s a bad bike ;) every bike has its flaws :)
