Honda Transalp. 1987, XL600v, PD06 - getting her ready for the 2024 season!

My lovely Honda Transalp! New boots, chain & sprockets & a tasty new exhaust to freshen her up for the coming years riding.

Yup, the winter hibernation is coming to an end ! 😂😂

:Green with Envy: I'd soooooooo much prefer one of these beauties over a "new" TransAlp!

[@RideableClassics]

It really is a lovely bike !

[@OnePaintedMan]

Wanting to purchase one of these in a few months! Wish youtube exposure would stop pushing the prices up! 😂

[@RideableClassics]

The real problem is finding nice examples of the pd06!

[@antwallis1233]

You don't fancy selling the original silencer ?

[@pavelschreil908]

Hey. May I ask if you have addressed the overheating of the engine? For the last season it happens to me that when driving and warming up, just stop at an intersection and the fan starts. The temperature does not drop below half of the thermometer. Any possible advice? So I have the engine in the silver variant. Thanks.

Great bike & great video! I have the same bike but in red / white (exactly the same as in Freddie Dobbs review). I noticed you have the slightly taller screen though, how do you find it at higher speeds? I find the standard screen quite noisy….

[@RideableClassics]

To be honest I find the higher screen better. I did try the standard one, and I think it did look better, but it provided little wind protection.
