I Took My BONE STOCK Honda Transalp 750 on the Local ATV Trails...

I really should have added like a skidplate and crashbars or at least a set of handguards to my 2024 Honda Transalp 750 before taking it on the local ATV trails, but I've never been one to have a lot of patience. So, I headed out to do a fun Transalp 750 off road test at the local OHV area. Admittedly, I stuck to the green/easy trails on this trip just because while I'm impatient to get my Honda XL750 Transalp out for some off road testing, I should probably take at least the minimum precautions and add some protective Transalp 750 mods before I do any very serious off roading.
This was a great day of Honda Transalp off road testing leading up to my upcoming Honda Transalp 750 review, so make sure you're subscribed to the channel so you don't miss out on future XL750 Transalp content.

Honda where I live won't take anything but zhonda trades.. went elsewhere andt est rode a CF Moto IBEX 800 T. Comes with everything. Tires suck so first thing to replace. Really enjoyed getting it dirty on my test so ended up buying it. Don't know if you have ever ridden one before. Fuel mapping is redone and much better. On road its so fast.

Great Review thanks - you did the really hard bit for me - the easy bits are - its a great road bike & so its ideal for riding big tar seal miles, easy bit - it's not for hard core KTM enduro people. But what about old , fat/fit guys with more money than sense who have piss*d their lives up against a wall working and savour a bit of "adventure" - so how good is it for us - you got it - just great! Thank you. I sat on one today at the local Honda shop and loved it - but not yet rready to swap in - I have a pair of older 2016 Africa Twins both DCT - I'm a Philanthropist because I adopted a pair of Africa Twins - they are too big to take very far off road with my lousy skill-set but the Tranzalp will be fine! Thank you for confirming it with your video - I am nowhere as good and as skilled as you clearly are - but I am keen to try! I have a buddy who will ride with me and I think the Tranzalp is the bike for us!

The new RE Himalayan is also looking like a huge improvement over the current model. So nice to have so many choices now.

Im curious to see it off the bike to see if there is actually something mechanical under there that would prevent that from being a real world application. Enjoying the content!

How do you like that Scorpion helmet? I have the same one, kinda hate it some days. Visor wiggles a lot at speed, and she's squeaky. Love modular tho, even tho SUPER loud. Wondering if it's just me/mine. Stoked to see more TA vids! Oh! Test ride a VStrom 800DE when you can!!!

You should have called this video “Honda Transalp 750: That’s What She Said”. There’s enough justification for it within the first 3mins 😂

fun and direct video without too many irrelevant details - but more - how does the bike make you feel - yeah more of that.

Have you thought to protect the windshield with PPF film considering you picked up the bike in factory condition from the dealer ?

Your narration is what makes your videos interesting and a joy to watch. How about a video on washing the mud off the bike. Do you use a pressure washer or the old fashioned bucket of soapy water and low pressure hose?

So I GREATLY respect what you do. As a fellow big guy (possibly a little bigger than you, and by possibly I mean definitely) I’m dead keen to start a new chapter in my life and this chapter involves a bike. I’ve fallen hard for the look of the Transalp and possibly even the Nc750x. While the majority of my riding (I suspect) will be commuting, I do intend on taking on the path less travelled at times. One such path in South Africa (where I live) is an arid area known as The Karoo, would either of these bikes be considered as capable for dry, rutted (corrugated) roads?

I don't have any experience with the NC750x but I'd go with the Transalp just because I'm guessing it's almost as good on the road but way better when you get onto the dirt.

How do you adjust the Transalps suspension? Do you just crank the preload and prey for rebound and damping? Or maybe rebound and damping is one fits all?
