I’ve been so busy lately with university lately that finding the time to go for a ride is often difficult. Luckily in the 15 minutes I have in between classes I get to put my headphones on and escape by watching you. Thanks Schaaf!

this new engine it's a dream.

I rode a cb750 hornet for an obligatory riders course here in Sweden and was positively surprised by how good it sounded for a stock exhaust! (even made it pop once lol) with my limited experience riding (regularly practice with a cb650) it felt pretty tourqey and handled very smoothly. I hope they make more bikes with this engine!

I've owned many different motorcycles over 35 years...this one is the best bang for the buck out of all...its a keeper...

Just bought mine a few days ago and man is it fun to wind out the engine. Theres a lovely induction noise accelrating through 3rd and 4th gear as you start to get on the throttle.

Hello there. Thanks for including slow (also known as "legal") speed test and comments. It's cool to know that a bike is a blast to thrash around on nice free mountain roads, but what is that worth if it's unbearable the other 85% of the time when the road conditions require you to ride "slow". It's sad to say, but these days I have two criteria to choose a bike : that it is fun in the twisties (which is why I ride) and that it behaves in town at 30-50 kph (which is what I have to do a lot before reaching said twisties). Not obvious to fulfil these days with injection, poor fuel and severe emission restrictions. Anyway, as usual thanks for the great quality video and comments!

After a long time.. I love your videos and this bike is amazing, sound, exhaust all brilliant

Really appreciate your demonstration of the low rev, small throttle opening fuelling in the commuting section. You can hear that it's not too bad. Great review as usual. BTW, the Metzeler Karoo, also oem are much better than the Dunlops, still street orientated but good.

It’s a fun bike. You captured it. Well done.

Noice 👍🏻 Love that exhaust note ❤

Thank you, Schaff. I really appreciate your comments and opinions of the TransAlp. I just bought one today. Traded in my Ducati Scrambler. This bike will just take me farther and is much more versatile. I agree with you on many points - it's a tad dull, especially the styling as compared to the Tenere. For a daily commuter and for something that I will take on overnight camping trips, this was certainly the most practical for me. And, in the US, you can't beat the price. I think the engine and gears are just buttery smooth. Is it the most exciting bike around? Not even close. But, for a 53-year-old dude, this is a bike that I will spend many, many hours on. Prost!

That looks like a fantastic place to take a moto ride. Thanks for all these videos. I rarely watch, usually have on as background for working.

I've always wanted an honest review. I'm glad you post the video. I was confused between transalp and ktm 790. But now ım glad ı bought the 790. Thanks again for the video!

thats why i think finally i ll go for 17/19 wheels new vstrom 800se.but with another screen of course

The review looks like the perfect bike for me. New to riding. Not looking for fast, but comfortable and 98% road 2% gravel.

YESSS Schaaf is back :D First like, and then watch :)

Thank you! ❤

Bravo !

First Bike i owned ❤ sadly crashed it but was still a really got A2 Bike in my Memory xD good to see it coming back

Schööfl ride, best ride. Honestly, in your video, I saw how the suspension was wallowing a bit in the curves. Thank you, man. Bleib Gschaid :P

You can feel the clutch being smooth

When I started riding, ot was on a CBF 125 and afterwards I switched to the Transalp XL 650. I loved the bike for it's comfort and reliability but it was too tall and heavy for me so I sold it again. Some years later I bought a CBR 250r with some technical issues very cheap which I repaired and the funny thing is I feel much better on the CBR 250r and ride it for many years now. It is so easy to ride... just like the CBF 125. The thing is the new transalp, especially in this colour, looks really awesome. Maybe I try one by the time you get them used (at about 100.000km the prices start to get interresting).

Just saw the test of Suzuki 800DE in your channel too, based of whatever reasons you may think of, what would you tell is better bike between those 2?

Sound molto accattivante; moto totale come da tradizione Transalp.

Thank you

Great sound, not really need for an exhaust upgrade on this bike.

I heard the exhaust pipe scratching the pavement 👍

Very nice sound for a stock exhaust :)

Someone like me finally :) always full throttle good image good sound 🎉

Schöner sonorer Sound...und wieder gfon wia da Deife.....danke für das Video Schaaf. Grüße und Habe die Ehre aus Niederbayern Martin

Bike sounds great but to my ear the 800 DE sounds better. Where do you place the mic for your videos?

That Trans need 3 things, front and rear suspension upgrades and without a doubt a much shorter gear ratio, like a 2 tooth bigger sprocket rear sprocket and the front one reduced 1 tooth in the size. It will be a proper character for this bike. Cheers.

Nice, great video. Not sure if you do collabs or meet ups but it would be great to ride with you someday!

I agree! It's a solid Honda, nothing scary to her but nothing inspiring either. Yet, this will do just fine for a lot of ppl. I'm just not one of them since it lacks the sportiness I prefer.

No nonsense ADV tourer!

Test of the Suzuki V Strom 800 DE, please!!

sounds very nice - and some great information to go on with. Thank you. Like Suzuki's 800DE, Honda's new Transalp has ride by wire but no cruise control. They are basically lovely tourers, potentially high kilometre travel bikes. No cruise control (or at least option of CC) in this day and age is like having a car without air conditioning. Ridiculous and silly management decision. Non tubeless wheels are a fail for me as well.

Is this sound on stock exhaust ??❤😊

I think HONDA is an easy car to control. and responds to the needs of use on smooth and gravel roads With a brand that has already been made to meet the needs of users I like to follow you to test drive each model. Your driving looks good.

Every time I watch your vlog, I end up buying one more bike 😬

Hey man, love the vid! This convinced me to buy a Transalp too! Can I just ask what kind of mount you’re using for your camera? Keep up the good stuff🤩

Hello Schaaf! Which bike is better at cornering? This or the nc750x?

I sat on this bike a few weeks ago at the only Honda Bigbike dealer in my place. I must admit at first look, if you do not look at the name, I would have mistaken it to be a 750cc variant of Honda's CBX lineup of adventure bikes. This could have easily been the Honda CB750X. 😎

Great! Can I ask you where do you have your dashcam? On the helmet?

Great ride and a nice ADV machine. Rode it. Just have to upload the video these days. The suspension is a bit too soft... otherwise a great do it all machine in my opinion.

Do the Suzuki 800DE next and compare!

very pleasant

I guess they haven’t invented deer where this person rides. Where I ride they wait for me before they jump out.

Make a CB750 with this engine that looks like a Nighthawk S and I would sleep at the dealership waiting for it!

Hey man, which camera are you using? Great videos bdw😊✌🏼

Hi schaaf. Thanks for you videos. I like to much how you ride. A mix between agresive and speedy and also security. I have a question. Where you have you camera. In you torax or on you helmet? Thanks a lot, from spain!

777 nice footage. I still try to get a Test for the 800 Suzi vstrom this year. Probably you will try this way before me..anyway take your Personal time😂 .enjoy autumn. Greetings as usual from Winterbach BW

Love your vids, keep them coming! For purely road riding would you buy the transalp or VStrom 800?

Schaaf: Would you think the Transalp is comparable to the NC750X, but more comfortable, more power and a little offroad capable? I think those two have the same "don´t annoy the rider" character. Nice video and sound - as always! ;)

You trust the front tire on this at speed I see? Nice vid as always Schaaf.

Do you think Is it better than 800de?

Hi Schaaf, you mentioned in the comment that you will choose Suzuki vstorm 800 over Transalp750. Can you let me the top reason for that considering that it's 20kg lighter than Suzuki

amazing video, as always. DO u still have the same sound setup?

Sounds smooth. Like a honda, hahah!

❤❤❤❤

Sorprendente el rendimiento de ese motor bicilíndrico. No me esperaba que tuviera un sonido y una respuesta tan buena 🤩

How do i find the alert sound while the write-up comes, to set as my notification tone.🤗

If you had to choose, would you pick the Transalp or the Norden 901? Keep up with your work, your videos are amazing!

Hi! Nice video as always! I have a question, do you think it's better the Transalp or the V-Strom 800 DE? I need a bike to get to work everyday with a passenger. And sometimes on Sunday go for a little tour. Never did off-road and not going to do it. My actual bike is an MV Agusta Stradale 800. Thank you

such a lovely sound, stock exhaust? Im considering this model versus BMW 750/850 gs , any tips?

bei dir wöre der sound der cbx1000 toll😉

Nice video! How is you quickshifter setup set to?

Oh wow I did not know the transalp can be moved so fast. Since I slided and fell I dont even want to try this😅

From the looks of it you seem to handle this better than the Vstrom800 DE in the twisties. Do you agree with that and which motorcycle handles better on paved road between Vstrom800 and Transalp?

Whats more fun on the road and better at cornering, AT or transalp?

this or versys 650. any tough?

nice videos! between translap and the bmw f750GS, what would you choose? thank you !

Hello sr good videos which bike you like better for twisties transalp 750 or tenere 700 thank you

Great sound, where are you riding ? 🇲🇽Saludos

Why do you keep pixeling the display? What do you think it's going to happen?

Vstorm 800de vs this bike?

It seems like in a lot of your videos you lean your bike very low, but not really lean with your body. Is there a reason for this? Leaning further often means higher risk, but its also obvious that you know exactly what you're doing. Genuine question coming from a beginner rider.

Good stuff, thank you! Help me out, pls! I own a Tiger 800xc, of which you have a fantastic video uploaded. Which one would you prefer, in terms of character and performance? Worth selling the Tiger for the new Transalp? Thanks

How does this engine compare to CP2 in T7?

Und Schaaf, wie taugt dir die Honda Transalp? Ich finde sie toll, für das was sie darstellt. Ein Grund auf ehrliches Motorrad, wie ich finde.

Hello sir, 🖐️ We hear on many chanels , that the back suspension is bad , this bike is a lowcost bike. Do you think this "transalp750" is not a good bike for the price ? ✌️

With Quickshifter? Thanks

Does it come with quickshifter/blipper, or not available?

what exaust have?

Transalp or Tenere? for commute 20 kms per day and weekend smooth running (maybe for two) similar price and specs, Honda beter Power numbers vs Tenere better supension and looking (from my point of view)

Would you say this has less of a lean angle than the Suzuki Vstrom 800de? Between both of those which do you prefer and why? Trying to narrow machines down for myself. I ride like you.

Looks like the Japanese had some of those funky toilet seats left over and welded them to the cockpit area. Bike sounds good though!

Does it "feel" faster than a tenere 700?

Its just a shame that camera can't capure the speed, it looks like you are in "warp" all the time 😂

Censure speed?

Well. If you can ride it pretty much flat out, grinding pegs as you go, with no drama or any scary moments it’s 100% good enough for me, a rider with waaaaay less talent than you. Good job Honda 🎯

Brilliant riding & magnificent rider⭐️ I do love your incredible ability. I would pick the Suzuki every time. Honda make great cheap bike but bland. Look at their cars…

besides that I do appreciate your RAW Onboard videos, why don't you turn on image stabilization like hypersmoothing... Pls do, so I won't get anymore headaches while watching your gorgeous clips! thx & bless you and your only one remaining kidney :)

Fährst Du da immer die selbe Strecke ab ? Wäre es nicht interessant, einmal etwas offroad zu fahren ? es ist immerhin eine Softenduro !

Die Kiste gefällt mir optisch immer besser. Ist jetzt nicht mega aufregend, aber dafür wird sie auch nach Jahren irgendwie "passen". Die Offroadeigenschaften sind wahrscheinlich besser als 90% der Adventurefahrer in der Tat nutzen. Es wird aber Zeit das die Hersteller wieder auf die Idee kommen ein leichtes Adventurebike mit einem single anzubieten, meinetwegen 48PS aber 170kg max. Theoretisch eine 390Adventure aber in schön und robust haltbar.

Eindeutig zu lang übersetzt, die verhungert ja im 5./6. Gang 😮

Stock exhaust doesn't sound great to me. Had one on a test ride lately, great bike though, be a good buy 2nd hand in about 3 years.

That speedo is obviously rigged. You can't be going 125kpn before changing to 5th gear. Who are you kidding?

I liked the Royal Enfield Classic sound better than this.

Imagine an Harley Davindson without the Vtwin, or a Ducati wihout a Lv... shit i'm pistoff with Honda, even if your videos are great can't see then to the end... An africa twin without V and 1000/1100 !!!!... and to make make concurance to BWM GS... 😂😂 A suzuki vstorm with a paralell twin... shit the japoneses had lost all possible credit ... will «fuc...g» buy a KTM or the new GS 🙂🙂🙂🙂
