︾ Hey Adventure Riders,
Today we got a hold of the new Honda Transalp 750 from one of our instructors here at the RIDE Adventures training center and we are going to take it for a spin to get the scoop on some of it's pros and cons. Chris Gibbons is our guest today and he will also be talking about his own experiences with the bike so far and things you should be ready for when picking up the new Honda Transalp 750 from the dealer.

i dont understand why people have so big expectations for off road driving from this bike.its a transalp goddam.a transalp...and this one is the best translap ever made.its perfectly fine for green lanes.not hardcore enduro

I’ve had my Transalp for six weeks and am loving it.

FYI I picked up some parts at T Rex racing in dallas TX and they had a transalp 750 in the shop doing R&D. So keep you eyes out for there skid plate. I really like the one I got for my NC700 Honda, and they had a combo for my bike to get the skid plate and crash bars together you get a discount. Very nice experience with T Rex for me.

I love my TA it’s really good on the road and Honda nailed it on the ergos and riding position. I only weigh around 150 so the suspension is not an issue for me I just wish the switch controls were backlit and a better headlight that shines out farther but it does good with side to side coverage

[lawrencearabia]

Nice, looking forward to future reviews. This bike is on my radar to add to the stable. Great channel!

I traded my portly Honda CTX1300 for a TransAlp. It’s opened up a whole new world to me. I’m an old fart living in Western North Carolina. It’s motorcycle heaven here.

I'm surprised that you didn't mention the weak suspension in the disadvantages, which is especially troublesome when driving off-road.
Generally, I notice in reviews from the USA that the love for the Honda brand is so blind that the choice of a motorcycle is biased.
I bought a new adv last year. Before I made the decision I tested Honda, KTM (890s), DesertX, T7, 800de.I most wanted to buy an Africa Twin. While riding, Honda AT seemed clunky and too heavy for me, the ktm890s had too weak suspension for offroad(I'm talking about the APEX version, the R version with XPLOR would be much better but too expensive for me and I was afraid of lack of durability in ktm), the Desert X great, but also too expensive and change of air The T7 has a high center of gravity and I didn't feel comfortable driving, especially in heavier offroad.
There was also a new Suzuki, but on paper it was so heavy that I didn't even want to test it.
However, I decided to test drive it and I was shocked, the suspension is fantastic, the center of gravity is low, it is agile and light like 20kg lighter and not heavier than the T7.
What I want to say is that the objective test showed something completely different than I expected. In many tests of the new Transalp from the USA, I see something different. The motorcycle was bought only because it is a Honda. It's a pity, because with an open mind you can buy something better. The corporation likes followers, but it is better for us to be a conscious consumer.

Love this bike ! I'm a tarmac guy, no off road 99% asfalt . Just good to know if I want to do soft trails it's possible. Spot on .

[seabaker]

I love this bike. I just rode one for three days. But only black available in the USA is a big disappointment.

[Rbj]

Eric and Chris your opinions matter to me because of what you guys do on the daily for many years now. It's more credible review to me.

[stevencarter]

The T 7 is $4000 dearer than the transalp here in Oz

[johnroethel]

Merry Christmas Eric and team. All the best in the New Year

[richardcasey]

I bought one and it’s more bike than I’ll ever be able to use. I removed the luggage rack mount on mine too. I kept hitting my knee on it. I reinstalled the bolts which are now bungee cord hooks.

[stevencarter]

I ride a 2018 CB500X and have just ordered the Transalp..we'll see how I go..

[sandrider]

A lot of comments that the Transalp is just a road bike, well technically every bike is a road bike as you can ride it on the road. The adventure name can mean ANY bike that takes you on an adventure. Adventures are on and off road. Some people need to take off their blinkers to this bike and the meaning of adventure. I ride a Husqvarna FE501 and I class the Transalp as the same genre of bike. 😮

[alozborne]

It would be super helpful to see how Eric fits on the Transalp, as I'm a similar build to Eric (a little more leggy, but the same height).

[dbmiller]

Great review guys! I had a 2022 CB500X - found it "not enough"... sold it and bought a 2020 Africa Twin - which I find intimidatingly big and heavy for off-road, but sure great for touring... (I'm also pretty short at 28 inch inseam) Is the the Transalp the perfect balance between the 2 ?

[arijitchief]

have you had a chance to ride the NX500 yet? no reviews of that from anywhere around the world!

[scldma]

Tried riding it hard(ish) off-road. The suspensions are by far the biggest cons. Did you guys actually ride the bike? I did half an hour on rough terrain, I am no Toby Price, i weight less than 80kg and I ran out of stroke both front and rear at least 3 times. Then clearly it becomes dangerous because the rear especially has very little rebound control so it kicks and loose traction. You did not noticed that, but surely you noticed that the air filter is hard to reach? Wtf….

[markchoitz]

nice work on the review, I've had a deposit down for 4 months, still waiting, where did you get TA? Bend? Back in September my delivery date was December 25th - I don't know if Santa can fit it in his sleigh though :) although I have been a good boy, you guys have a Merry Christmas!
