Honda Transalp sound [RAW Onboard]

[@gibbontoez]

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!

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.

[@Schaaf]

Nice!!

[@swedish_steel7861]

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!

[@Schaaf]

I'm quite sure they will!

[@olaokolaok]

Whats the main difference you feel with a cb650r?? I got the cb650r because of looks and sound, im addicted to it, but Hornet seems better on paper and comfort.

[@brentlanyon4654]

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.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks!!

[@johnnyd.8672]

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!

[@cataholic]

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

[@jeanbalthazar8014]

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!

[@Schaaf]

thanks for the feedback, Jean!

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.

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

[@zardportugal]

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.

Sounds like a very good plan!

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.

Do the Suzuki 800DE next and compare!

Nothing to compare. Suzuki is a better off-road bike, better suspension, more torque at lower revs. Now Suzuki dropped a road version of 800. With smaller wheels, which will be even easier to ride.

[@stevecrocker6904]

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.

[@sv7017]

Its really ridiculous and kind of makes me angry

[@juanignaciocirera]

You right they made it for travel without cruise control and non tubeless wheel, no sense at all, well they want keep something on the vstorm 1050 or África twin. I hate this kind of decisions.

[@test1uci]

the engine is great, but they should have given it different tune than hornet, less top and more mid-range power. and it has additional quick-shifter but doesn't have a cruise control - this is weird. I hope they will do a refresh with those changes.

[@Schaaf]

Hopefully!

[@richmotion]

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! ;)

[@Schronx]

I think the Transalp, is better. In every way :)

[@Schaaf]

Yes, character wise I'd say they are not that far from each other. But the Transalp has that top end power which can be a lot of fun. Unfortunately the NC can't offer that

[@bhatiakaran1]

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.

[@michaelsteiner5775]

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).

[@nirboom]

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.

[@Schaaf]

keeping your body neutral gives you a better point of view (your head is higher compared to hangoff) and you're slightly faster to react when having to adjust your riding line unexpectedly. Since the lean angles I'm riding are nowhere close to the actual limit of the bike there's no need to reduce them.
