Honda Transalp XL750 Review - Best LIGHT Adventure?

I test ride Honda's Transalp XL750, to see how their new mid-capacity adventure stacks up, and what's on offer. Taking a bit of a different route than many of the current offerings Honda have focused on value, with an exceptional buy-in of just $16K ride-away here in Australia, with machine that blends sports touring and adventure, and may be a little lighter on the adventure than some.

That won't appeal to everyone, but to me is an ideal proposition, still offering a formidable light adventure package, but also an exceptional road bike, that captures the aspects that make the Hornet 750 nakedbike with the same engine such a gem.

You do get long travel suspension, a Gravel specific mode, and decent electronics package, but the stand out is that engine which offers exceptional torque and spread of power, alongside some distinct riding modes, alongside a chassis which is well balanced and doesn't give that tall, adventure bike feel.

MotoHub in Sydney were kind enough to lend me their demo Honda Transalp XL750, so check them out if you're in Sydney and would like a test ride:
