Came for the transalp. Subscribed for the British commentary.

Great honest review. I test rode one recently. I want one. You nailed it with the commentary. Bike sounded great when you gave it some Pasty.

Very much enjoyed that, just ordered a new TA this week. Very much looking forward to it. You really should wear earplugs, save your hearing. Would have eliminated all the wind rush noise on your test ride and made it even more enjoyable 👍

Glad you liked the bike.I love mine. I bought a Yoshimura exhaust and it really sounds great plus it runs a bit better in mid to upper range.

To hear someone laughing while riding a motorcycle has to be a huge statement about the bike. I think big rock moto also giggled during his ride. Well done sir.

Highly entertaining my good man

Buy a Transalp! Trust me you’ll never regret it.

Really enjoyed that review, subscribed on the back of it, keep em coming

I just bought a TA yesterday...pick it up from the dealership today. The test ride blew me away because it was so fun to ride. I'm not sure that I plan to ride it off road that much, but it is nice to know I can, if I want to. Thanks for the video--liked and subbed!

I genuinely thought that was a frog hopping along infront of your bike. 😅 18:57 Next year I'm gonna get me a Transalp too. In gray. Only bought my current nx500 6 months ago.

good vid mate I've just put the larger screen on from Honda and it solves all the buffeting issues :)

I rode the NX500 at the weekend, same problem with the screen noise/buffeting, shame but it put me right off. Brilliant, enjoyable review, well done Warrior. I have an XSR900 and a 650 VStrom but am chopping the Suzi in on a 500 Hornet for commuting.

Great review of the TA I really enjoyed it. 👍 Liked and subscribed...

A real fun bike! At least here in the states. I sold my crf450rl to get one. Great decision. I didnt do much off roading with the crf so what i need to do i can easily do with the TA

Nice vid. 👍 Screen noise is solved with one of the cheap £15 extenders off Amazon. I posted a video talking about my thoughts on the bike recently after 4k miles including a trip to Slovakia. Your comments are pretty much spot on to what I think of the bike, we even decribed the suspension the same; "plush", although I spent more time wondering if it should be described as "more plush" or "plusher" 😄

Really enjoyed you laughs and dialogue. Most street bikes I find have pathetic rear brakes. I do not need earplugs at highway speed. I am a thin 180 cm (5' 9") tall. 1st bike I have ever experienced this on. No wind turbulance for me under 70 mph. Riders say adding the side deflectors that go on the side of the windscreen make a good difference. The wind deflectors that can go lower do nothing.

Just got one a week ago. Only complaints are the tc comes on too strong if you don’t turn it off and no mileage range readout is a bit strange and very annoying. I think it’s a keeper.

Also just brought one. Very pleased, but yet to try one of those semi-hard roll ons that you performed !

Can't decide whether Zesty Wafter is one of David Bowie's children or a small town near Munich

Well you know I've been fighting the Husky's corner in our chats, but that was a resoundingly positive review. If the worst issue is the screen noise, which I bet would be resolved with a little adjustable clip-on addition, you'd have to be a zesty wafter to turn that bike down.

Interesting to hear your initial impressions of the bike. Yes, it is a very easy model to own, and your description of it as a "friend" is apt. Six months and 10,700 kms in on mine here in South Australia, and I can confirm that this bike's easygoing nature is a reality over the longer term. The clutch lever takes up a fair way out, as you found, but the actual take-up is quite sublime. I have never stalled this bike, and am never likely to. Handy in a tight spot off-road. But its all-round ability is its virtue, with many dirt roads in this area, and you're right - this bike is the perfect 'foil' to a mad sports bike. Says he, after 50+ years of Ducatis... Better for the licence to do most of my riding on this one. It 'plays to my sensible side' without being boring. Yes, those few omissions - I think the lack of an ambient temperature is an oversight - and it is in some respects intentionally less than the Africa Twin, but its simplicity and lighter weight are its features: it doesn't need DCT as it is better being light weight. The different positioning of the horn/blinkers also annoying for those of us fortunate enough to own more than one bike, the headlight not that good at night, but let's face it - this is a lot of motorcycle for the money. It is smooth, remarkably economical, and can head down any unknown road you choose. 400 kms (250 miles) is a handy fuel range. A bit mystifying that you found the rear brake lacking as it is one of the better rear brakes I have encountered! Useful on loose surfaces. You will enjoy yours if you get it. They get smoother and 'sweeter' as the miles go by.

Hello, 1st time here, the vid popped up in my feed. I did own the old Transalps, got 3 of them in late 90's to late 00's.. The bike's the beast feature is the bad roads long rides.. The touring road bikes are comfortable on bad roads, more offroadie bikes are not comfortable on long longs .. So, this is something in the middle .. The Yamaha T7 is a bit more offroadie feel to it.

If this bike had the DCT and the electronics of the Africa Twin, it would be a dream bike!

Came for the transalp, left with Jimmy Carr's laugh lol.

Well it all depends how much of a zesty wafter trade in price they offered you for the husky!

Best bang for buck and trumps any middleweight adventure bike, 1090 Adventure. Picked one uo last year for 6k, installed a cruise control, and quickshifter. No electronics to go wrong. In 12k miles, I've not had one single issue. 125hp, 230kg. It's the perfect blend of power, comfort, and reliability(even with it being a KTM, lol).

Honda's biggest market is India, where the horn is used a lot more than the indicators :)

Hi, can you explain what you meant by saying that turning with the 21" wheels feels weird?

The difficult maintenance, needing to remove the fairings just to change the air filter, is an issue for me. To bad really.

Im trying to talk myself into one instead of a Multistrada/1300 but no dealers will test ride and there aren't any for rent! Ugh

It wouldn't power wheelie because the wheelie control is on. Put it into use mode and switch off the electronic controls. Different beast.

You seem to be tall. Taller oem honda screen would auit you and would push air above your helmet. This bike has the most power ar around 7.5k rpm, thats when its really angry. Need to try it. I always rode sporty bikes and not sure how will it feel after mt07.

If you're going 2 bikes I'd go Transalp and keep and un-supermoto the husky for thrills off-road/lanes instead of the sports bike

So did you buy a Transalp?

The only adventure bike without an ambient temperature on the dash ??😢

Zesty Wofter!

how tall are you?

Keep the Husky and get an old sports bike, makes perfect sense. Sell the Husky, you'll want it back a year later!

For me all the adv screens are useless.

A zesty wafter

I am over here. Still waiting on mine lol. Traded in my 300 rally for it.

So,you test rode the new transalp and finally you decide to go for a used ss,while your bike is husqarna supermoto....ok.why the hell im waisting my time?

Don’t use word f… so offten, it’s so f… rude😅

have had mine for two days now. i love it! but i now know why everyone is complaining about the lack of cruise control. god damn the bike needs it and bad!
