I wish they'd kept more of the original Transalp's boxy charm. This new one looks too much like a mini Africa Twin.

It's growing on me. At first, I thought it was too plain, but the more I see it, the more I appreciate its simple, purposeful design.

Honda's playing it safe, but that's not necessarily bad. It'll probably age better than some of the more aggressively styled bikes out there.

The conservative styling might actually be a selling point. Not everyone wants a bike that screams, "Look at me!" every time they ride.

It's too generic for my taste. From a distance, it could be any middleweight adventure bike. Honda missed an opportunity to create something truly distinctive.

The styling is fine, but I wish they offered more exciting color options. The current choices are a bit dull.

It strikes a good balance between adventure styling and road-going practicality. It looks capable without being intimidating, which is perfect for its intended use.
How does the Transalp's electronics package stack up against its competitors?

Honda's kept it simple, which I appreciate. You get what you need without feeling like you need a degree in computer science to ride the bike.

It's decent, but not class-leading. KTM and BMW offer more customization and features, but they also cost more.

The electronics are good enough for most riders. Traction control, ABS, and riding modes cover the basics. What more do you really need?

I think Honda missed an opportunity here. No IMU-based electronics or cornering ABS feels a bit behind the times for a new model.

The Transalp's electronics are user-friendly, which is a big plus. Some competitors' bikes feel like you're piloting a spaceship with all the options.

It's a good middle ground. More advanced than the bare-bones Ténéré 700, but not as overwhelming as some of the premium European offerings.

I wish it had cruise control. That's becoming standard on a lot of bikes in this class, and it's really useful for long highway stretches.

The lack of advanced off-road modes is disappointing. Being able to adjust TC and ABS for dirt riding would make it more versatile.

Honda's electronics usually work well in the real world, even if they're not the most advanced on paper. I'd take reliable and simple over cutting-edge and glitchy any day.

It's fine for the price point, but if you want the latest and greatest tech, you'll need to look at more expensive options. Can't have everything at this price.
How does the Transalp's parallel-twin engine compare to V-twins in terms of character and rideability?
21 January 2025 10:53
The parallel-twin in the Transalp is smooth as butter. Yes, it doesn’t have that V-twin rumble to it, but it has plenty of character and pulls like a train in the midrange.

I miss the V-twin thump. The parallel twin just feels a bit soulless in comparison, even if it's more efficient.

It's a different kind of character. The parallel-twin revs more freely and feels more modern. It's not worse, just different.
