Hi there, many greetings from Macedonia, have a good trips with new bike ! I am owner of Versys 650, so please tell me the difference between those two bikes (fuell consuptions, power, fast cornering on the twisties, e.t.c.) Thanks !
Hi there and thank you for the comment. I bought the TA 750 recently so I don't have long term experience with this bike yet. But my impressions are: The V650 is a bit more agile in the twisties, due to it's 17 inch front wheel and it also feels more planted somehow - i guess because of the shorter suspension. It also feels sportier compared to the TA. But compared to other ADV bikes, the TA is super easy to handle - also in the twisties. The 21 inch front wheel feels more like a 19 inch front wheel. The TA is comfier and sucks up bumps better than the Versys - it's a very plush and comfy ride. The motor of the TA sounds way better for me. The TA does not feel a lot stronger during a "normal ride" but it delivers more power on the top end, what's nice because it makes overtaking a bit less stressful in some situations. The fuel consumption is better on the TA (TA = 4.7L/100km, Versys = 5.2L/100km) but the range of the Versys is better, thanks to the 21L fuel tank. Some TA riders speaking of a fuel consumption of ~3.6L/100km but mine needs a bit more. What's absolutely great on the TA is the low weight and low center of gravity. The Versys is much more top heavy and riding super slow is way easier on the TA. The whole balance of the TA is fantastic. The TA has also some (for me personally) unnecessary electronics. My Versys was so simple electronic wise - I really liked that. Regarding quality: I hope the TA will be as reliable as my Versys. I also have the feeling that the plastic parts on the Versys had a better quality. I hope I haven't forgot anything :D
@@GoodWeatherRider thank you so much for detailed explaination, you are amazing guy, nobody else answer like you - very precise and professional !!! RIDE SAFE !!!
@@GoodWeatherRider thanks again, I precciate your quick response and advice. I am 60 years old, but I think I will keep my Versys, because I am a traveller, but a little beat sporty oriented rider 🥴

Thank you mate! But don't forget to make a test ride before you decide to buy a new bike :D

Thank you! The Versys is an absokutely great bike!
I was wondering what the Honda TA sounded like.
Sounds really good if you ask me - if you like that typical 270 degree crank sound.
It's just a little bit too loud for me personally.
