Royal Iris was a Mersey Ferry out of Liverpool. I sailed on her twice - once in about 1958 on a primary school trip along the length of the Manchester Ship Canal from Pomona Docks, Manchester, to Liverpool. And then again about 10 years later in an evening outing from work for a disco cruise in the Mersey estuary when I was about 19. She famously had a dance floor (hence her suitability as a disco cruise ship and host to the famous Liverpool bands in the '60s). We spent the evening cruising within the confines of the estuary so she'd cruise along in a straight line for about 20 minutes, then do a 180 degree turn and cruise back in a straight line for 20 minutes, then another 180 degree turn, repeating this all evening. My abiding memory was, back then, it was customary for groups of girls to dance together in a circle around their hand bags, which would be on the dance floor in the centre of the circle, while us blokes propped up the bar and 'observed the talent'. Every time the Royal Iris commenced one of these 180 degree turns she'd heel over and all the handbags would slide across the floor out of the circle of dancing girls, who broke off to chase after them, to the side of the dance floor where they retrieved them before going back into their circle once more dancing around the hand bags. It was a long time ago so it's all a bit hazy, but I think we blokes eventually got enough Dutch courage care of the beer to ask the girls for a dance, but I really can't be sure! It's very sad to see her laid up and sitting sunk onto the river mud like that, water up to her decks, that dance floor well and truly flooded. Vince

[@johnbellamy6449]

interesting info .

[@tigerick7291]

Nice story👍

[@GeoffreyDunne]

Thanks for putting the Royal Iris into historical context back in the late 1960s. I can't remember what happened last week but I can for sure vividly recall every detail of those times. Cheers

[@daviddavies5347]

I travelled on it as well! Sad to see and often comes up in the Wirral forum on Facebook! 😱

[@flyovercounty1427]

Accountants and insurance ruin lots of fun things these days.

[@greenfuture578]

New subscriber here...keep the English language eloquence flowing....a touch of class and very welcome these days.

[@tdub5899]

This is a great channel Freddie (& Monica)!. There are many other bike channels that go into super detail of tech specs and performance, but this channel does more to show what it feels like to actually live with these bikes as Freddie rides like the 90% of us do. Such a relaxed vibe - so easy to watch. Keep it up!

[@MH-xd2nd]

Good to see Honda have been watching BMW and have learned to charge eye watering prices for bolting usually bang average quality tat onto your new pride and joy 😂 Has anyone noticed how accessories have skyrocketed over the last 3 years or so, especially luggage?

[@jimjoelliejack]

I was thinking the exact same thing, I purchased a new tiger rally pro with all the bells and whistles for 11k last summer, a lot more refined than the Honda, that said it’s a nice bike.

[@matthewdeepblue]

1:18 Monica... Recognize the warning signs... He's leaving you for a Swede

[@FreddieDobbs]

😆

[@octocon1379]

Lovely. Tonight's viewing sorted, tempted by one to replace my '93 Transalp.

[@FreddieDobbs]

I think you’d be impressed by the evolution👌🏻👌🏻

[@coledines]

Freddy, I didn’t know where that story was going at the beginning? You met a man, he wanted to meet up , you met up and you never felt so passionate in all your life! I had to mop my brow at that point, phew you was talking about a motorbike lol.

[@clanky44]

Hi Freddie, you (and a few other KZbinrs) are responsible for getting my wife and I into biking in our 50’s. We’ve been mountain biking and road biking for decades and decided to switch to motorbikes. She’s purchased her 1st bike, a 900 Speed Twin and I am seriously considering the Transalp. I figure the rain mode or user mode can be set up to neuter the throttle response as I build up my confidence and skill set! …Thanks again for the great content! ❤

[@Banditmanuk]

My wife and I both ride our own bikes in our 50s. It's been absolutely brilliant. Good luck to both of you 👍

[@alanbarnes2920]

Another Brit KZbinr called Rocketman Motorcycle runs his own new Transalp..well worth viewing his vids of it too…

[@martingavinbolger6902]

You will really love the Transalp. I have only had my licence for just over a year. I bought the transalp last year got it in October. It is really nice to ride and comfortable. And it give me confidence, so I think you will get on great with it. All the best

[@christiangrendel9893]

Transalp is a fantastic bike. Very forgiving and yet no meens boring.

[@garyseaton4619]

$1800+ for some crash bars and fog lights. Hmmmm? No luggage? No rack? All that space in the fairing and no storage pockets or speakers? It's got street tires. Is this the replacement for the awesome Africa Twin? No problem with your review, just the bike. I'm thinking Honda dropped the ball if they were going for an "Adventure" bike.

[@ayg58_F1]

So in awe of the vibe of this channel Freddie! The pace with how you speak & converse with Monica in between is such an understated beauty. Thank you for posting, made me fell in love with biking once again!

[@HarleyGeezer1954]

I am becoming a big fan of your channel. Despite the name of my channel, I love anything on two wheels. You have a really nice laid back style.

[@volt8684]

I know it’s not your bike but top box with back rest would secure Monica. This bike is night and day better than your bonny and any of those RE. Even better try a vstrom or tiger

[@amygardiner2278]

Freddie, your joy in motorcycles is infectious and Monica's photography is wonderful, as always! Enjoy the Transalp!

[@neil8238]

Can I just say how much I love the music on this channel. I presume it’s Monica’s choice. I’m giving her credit anyway. Really suits the character of the content.

[@sn5953]

Totally agree!

[@faisalarh]

during covid era, once I shazamed all of the music of early episode on season 1 of this channel, until freddie & monica put the description of the songs on their video, mine now just search it at the YT Music and made it my driving/riding playlist.

[@xcaceuk]

So true .. I knew straight away I was tuned into Freddie and Monica this morning when the intro music came on 🎶 The videography and music are a big part of what makes this channel outstanding ☀️

[@taswr]

That rally pack is a waste of money… those extras are so poor quality they wont protect the bike in the real world off-road riding, better off buying aftermarket quality

[@rickparkinmoto]

I always loved the original Transalp so I was stoked to see Honda release a new version. For me, the Africa Twin is just too big and bulky, so it's great to see a more practical, manageable adventure bike from them. I look forward to seeing how you get on with it.

[@howlingwolf500]

I always loved the transalp. But at the same time a dominator 650 made the same horse power with one cylinder and air cooling. Was lighter and cost less. Was it all worth it just for the smoothness. I think the XL600v was the best one. It just got heavier with each reiteration. 650-700 etc

[@rickparkinmoto]

@@howlingwolf500 The Dominator was a classic. All the Honda single-cylinder traillies were great.

[@sbmphoenix]

Love your enthusiasm freddie, I reckon this bike suits you...bar the fact you tend to go for lower seat height bikes. Tubed tyres are my only gripe with the transalp.

[@paulyflyer8154]

Yes and no cruise control. If it had tubeless and CC though it would badly affect sales of the Africa Twin.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Ahhhh tubed tyres- good point

[@FairWeatherMotorcyclist]

Hi Freddie, I am not sure you appreciate your Bonneville. I believe you have an SE, they are much better than the T100. The team of Triumph engineers tasked with developing the SE were triumphs own chassis development engineers based in Spain, who fully understood the shortcomings of the T100. They elected to use the proven Triumph Truxton frame that had a steering head rake of 27 degrees instead of the T100 frame that had a steering head rake of 28 degrees. They knew adding a pair of 17-inch mag wheels and tubeless tyres would improve the handling making the bike much more agile and responsive, and as an added benefit lowered the seat height making the bike suitable for shorter riders. When first released in 2009 the SE was fitted with a single offset clock which was quickly replaced with twin clocks. Only two colour options were available, Classic Black or my preferred choice: two-tone Pacific Blue and Polar White. The other noticeable difference from the T100 was the handlebars and front brake reservoir. The T100 has 1-inch bars and the front brake reservoir is part of the front brake lever. The SE has 7/8 inch bars and a plastic remote brake reservoir., which is a shame and could have only been used as a cost-saving exercise. Another nice touch was to use the same upswept peashooter silencers used on the Thruxton. It will be nice to see your bike when you get it back from the Wurks and see what he's done. I am waiting for his next update on the relocation of the voltage regulator.... enjoy the Africa Twin,

[@superelectic45]

Great bike, I'd take it over a new BMW any day (a 70's beamer I may have to defer lol)

[@josephbingham1255]

Here in America we seem to only have the choice of a dull grey color. Disappointing.

[@nc30guy]

Problem with the transalp is the fact it's based on the 750 hornet which is 6999 so it's not a good value machine I feel it should have been closer to 8.4k tops

[@FreddieDobbs]

Very interesting point

[@joshegeman6503]

Perhaps Triumph is willing to give you Tiger 900 for a tryout.

[@docramyj]

Great video Freddie! And a great look. What is the jacket you are wearing?

[@Ulxaaf]

Front of this bike looks like Fiat Multipla 😆

[@philipwall8248]

Hi Freddie I have the Transalp 750 in black with rally pack, tall screen, quick shifter and hand guards, a great bike to ride and very comfortable (Unlike my previous Africa twin 1100 adv sport). Would recommend a tall screen though..a great addition especially being tall. Owned it since June and love riding this bike comfort and a great smile every time. You have to love that engine!

[@huubjansen7031]

So cool to see you with the new transalp. That video with the OG transalp is the video that got me watching your channel. I started watching all of your Tenerife endeavors and ended up going to Tenerife twice with my family. Absolutely loved it and your videos were inspiring. Such a beautiful island. Really enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up Freddy

[@stevenrobinson5035]

Its strange what we choose to protect, save, restore and cherish. Surely the National Trust should be buying and restoring the Royal Iris? The history alone must make it worth saving.

[@paulfastbikes361]

Old mate had 600 for years did mega high miles on it 200000 plus, when it was totally knackered he bought another...

[@granty1150gs]

I had a 1992 model in blue and white paid $2,500 with 2k on the clock. Loved that bike sold it 4 years later for $3,000, probably worth more now.

[@pauldgardner1]

Hi Freddie, you look like the cat that swallowed the cream and rightly too. I had two 650 Transalp and loved every second on them. They were so reliable that it would never cross my mind that they would let me down and they never did. I look forward to your further experiences on the new model to see if they really have kept the heritage alive. It’s too late for me to have one with my advancing years so will stay with my CB500X which is also a great bike.

[@howlingwolf500]

I was hoping the transalp would be closer to the 500x than it was. I think it is to big and to heavy. The red and white 600v he rides in the video looks way better than the new 750.

[@indiaden]

A guy makes a review off a bike and doesn't know what a quick shiffter is... Ok. It's a beautiful world...!!! 😁

[@chrishart8548]

And thinks it might have a built-in sat navigation but obviously it doesn't. The tft is on the small side anyway.

[@kevindarkstar]

On your bonnie, I've seen his videos Freddie, and seriously mate, no offence intended but you need to up your motorcycle maintenance abilities and care of the bike, that pillion footrest rear left loose and wobbly along with the exhaust can, the ignition barrel rattling around ect, ect 👍🏻😉

[@TheYorkie1954]

that boat the Royal Iris is a very sore point up here in Merseyside. The owner refuses to do anything about it and there have numerous attempts to return it up here for renovation but he just lets it rot. A hack of a lot of history and heritage up here

[@mototravelaction]

I am so pleased that you ve got the Transalp for testing. For your height it suits you best. Although I have the 2005 model and I haven't ride the new one, I must say that Honda keeps easily the reputation of the best motorcycle maker worldwide. Enjoy Freddie.

[@howlingwolf500]

Seems Freddie is tall but not that long in the leg. I would have thought he would easily flat foot the transalp

[@mr.solitude3352]

Finally, Freddie is riding a moto that us tall and lanky riders would feel comfortable riding. And the ergos look great on a tall fellow like you, Freddie. Regards to your better half.

[@BrianDrinkwater]

Man gets Transalp.... Man goes to.......coffee shop 😂

[@IceAce1]

Well, consider the Honda delivery driver does not have a bike license. 😂 Honestly, the stories Freddie shared with the coffee.. plus the childhood photo sitting on one ... were really charming again.

[@baronall]

It is a nice bike just a lack of cruise control. Also, make a wild guess where the air filter is.. 😂

[@chrishart8548]

I'm guessing under the petrol tank. Which is insane 😅

[@stuartmorton662]

My pet hate is the bunch of keys scratching the top yoke… distracted watching them. Get rid of them Freddy… loved the video of the old one you rode….

[@boodog4023]

Street Scrambler Vid: personal favorite lol Always dig the music--Satie!

[@christiangrendel9893]

You only really appreciate a Transalp, when you've had it a while. It's like a good friend.

[@volt8684]

That is one beautiful piece of kit, and I cannot understand the enthusiasm for RE 350s against this beauty. Would I lend you a bike Fred? Absolutely not😂😂

[@bobjuniel8683]

Know what you are talking about before sprucing to the world.

[@mjonno64]

And you could know how to spell or spell check posts before “spruiking” to the world.

[@mcscotty325]

That's the first bike Freddie looks small on.

[@jeffersonrodriguesdossanto2579]

I noticed that you use your keys on a single keychain, including the one on your motorcycle. My suggestion is that you avoid this on motorcycles, for two reasons: the vibration of the keys while riding will scratch your entire cockpit. The main one, and here especially thinking about your Bonneville, is that the weight of the keys will reduce the life of the ignition switch. Here in Brazil we generally use a keychain that connects to a necklace. When we get off the bike, the key goes into this necklace, ensuring that it will not be lost.

[@chrishart8548]

I've heard it Can also damage the lock barrel. Obviously pulling on the pins,springs, and the vibration.

[@jeffersonrodriguesdossanto2579]

That's correct name, lock barrel, not ignition switch! @@chrishart8548

[@floydstewart2956]

Loved this - not just the transalp but also the fact that you ride around my old stomping ground one week (I was born in Greenwich, grew up in Charlton and went to school in Blackheath) and then the following week you’ll be in my new stomping ground (well, for the last 20 years - god I feel old!) here in Kent - not far from rootham, trozzzzzly, and “item” 😂. Shocked at how Woolwich has changed almost beyond recognition- though probably for the best. Safe riding and maybe one day you should arrange a “channel” coffee somewhere. I’d happily come along.

[@A861967]

Back in 1986 I joined the Airforce ❤ as a then 18 y old, that was the 1st time I saw the Transalpe the Greek police used them for years, very reliable and the ability to go everywhere this new one looks amazing and has kept the same character and charm. Looking forward to your in depth review 🇦🇺🇬🇷 cheers from Oz

[@Nigelg79]

What’s the jacket you’re wearing Freddie?

[@FreddieDobbs]

It’s the Belstaff Brooklands. My favourite👌🏻

[@sayanmondal1303]

12:45 this old transalp looked too modern for those days! What a machine 😍

[@allanhughes7859]

NEVER EVER LET HISTORY SINK LIKE THAT FAB BOAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT SADLY WE DO !!!!!!!!! Must say cant understand why on this Earth Honda changed from those lovely twin exhausts to a single ??????? Cost perhaps ?? also good to see you managed a coffee in the up load " thanks again the village idiot" !!!!!!!!!!

[@clivehale397]

Envy envy envy sorry Freddie but I know how fab the Transalp is as sat on one at bike show last year have a great time with it which I think you will see you on the next one . Have a great time away you 2......

[@ianhalliwell8604]

Freddie your just like a big kid with a new toy. Must say most videos on this bike usually show it in that horrible black colour your version looks so much better. Enjoy

[@faraztabatabaie2255]

Just buy a 1/2 year old Africa twin. You will probably have to finish breaking it in...

[@henryhartley9993]

Nice one Freddie and Monika,i remember going on the Royal Iris as a child from New Brighton along the River Mersey, fond memories...

[@MotoTourIreland]

Transalp looks well, sounds well, goes well and won't break the bank. As for Sat nav.... I have an old phone as a sat nav on the handlebars. It's pay as you go. No phone numbers or any info in it so if it falls off, well, I've lost €20 (maybe).

[@philipjones7231]

Can’t wait for your verdict on this Freddie 👍

[@Johnrockerldn]

That boat i believe is the ferry across the Mersey in the song and I agree how on earth is it in that condition just been left like that?

[@evian8176]

This comment refers to the algorhythm to support your videos. #27 Greetings from Zurich

[@123mirc]

I am really set to buy one of these. Gawd. It would be perfect. But I'd love a speed twin 1200 or a Tiger 660 or a Kawasaki Z900RS. Too many options. Anyway, great video!

[@ianmcdiarmid4563]

The exhaust silencers on your uncles Transalp nicely fill that awkward big gap between seat & tyre, looks so much nicer.

[@chrishart8548]

It will be available on this soon. Just like the T7 but it will come at a big cost. High level exhaust looks so much better on an adventure bike. The T7 stock exhaust is absolutely unacceptable to me. Looks like a scooter. When you have all the engine And exhaust all attached to the back wheel

[@kaizen2049]

Saw the short the bike looks sweet ❤ can't wait for the review & the aesthetic shots

[@flibbertigibbet6200]

If you have to look after it, I would take that bunch of keys off as that will scratch up all the top yolk. Big peeve of mine if you haven't guessed lol nice video fella

[@plattenschielerlp7796]

These bikes are dangerous. Once you stepped into the Enduro world with all its Dakar DNA you will get addicted. I drive KTMs and got addicted immediately. Own two of them, love them. Had a Honda XR 600 and also love the Transalp. Have fun! The bike suits you absolute perfect!

[@simoncaddick9085]

Dual Sport Motorcycles were commonplace and the Trail machines of the seventies and early eighties provided the ideal "second" Bike, great for Winter / wet riding with simple practicality balanced keenly alongside the fun factor of off road capability (in itself, a goldmine of machine control and rider skill). Since the countryside became increasingly stolen away, mostly around the 2001 / 2002 Foot and Mouth outbreak, in favour of developer friendly exclusivity, our practical alternative has become, regrettably, less capable and increasingly complex. we watched Honda start this trend, fitting a fairing and L.C.D. readout to the jewel in it's Dual Sport crown, the XL. Jus' sayin'....

[@Sandro-vx3yx]

This jacket looks amazing!

[@JonasNielsen-l7b]

Greetings from Denmark - Absolutely love your videos! Motorcycles in Denmark are quite a lot more expensive than most other places, so the entry to market is quite challenging financially. I would love it if you would test and review the new Triumph Scrambler 400X - especially with your general experience with the Triumph brand. And the new Honda NX500 would also be great to see you on as it looks to have been made like a Mini Transalp. ✌️

[@wdhewson]

$15000 in Canada for the Transalp prior to taxes etc. So valuable, I'll let Honda keep it for themselves !!

[@saltaireorangebicyclechopp8555]

Royal Enfield has just shown how stuck in a dead end the Japanese have become. My favourite ever bike was a 92 Dominator, they've pretty much replicated that with their 450 Himalayan. I can't think of any reason (beyong gold wheels) why l should fork out a shed load more money for this and its extra "stuff" ?

[@andrewbozhozr]

Pcx125 has keyless, you want to tell me that 11.300€ bike MY2023 does not have it? They've became masters of not giving anything and charge extra for what should have came on a bike in the first place. Chinese brand are gonna do to them what they did to Italian and British ones..

[@Mikeycambovideos]

My entire motorbike was half the cost of the Adventure Pack Option 😂 Still…. That Honda beast is so beautiful. I’m envious. Not jealous or bitter. Ride safe!

[@TravelNiBongz]

Hi sir Freddie, just curious on what camera your using. Are you using iphone? Samsung? Nikon? Or Sony? ❤

[@protectorh9167]

Very very nice bike especially in these colors but I bought a Versys 650 2023 which is much cheaper and very good on small roads, Honda transalp next time second hand.

[@aidens04]

I bet an older one would make a great winter hack/commuter bike. A bike you wouldn't be too precious about

[@alwarren2653]

I saw that bike when Exeter Rider had it, our paths crossed on the Eastern side of Dartmoor. If possible could you give an opinion on the dipped beam performance without the auxiliary lights on? I am wondering how the dipped beam performance compares to the last iteration of the V-Strom 650. If the Transalp needs auxiliary lights I may as well fit additional lights to my existing non adventure road bike. The Transalp Damerells at Indian Queens didn't have the crash bars and auxiliary lights fitted and it took me a couple of days to realise I may've preferred that look as in white, red and blue with the gold wheels I may've got an 80s Paris-Dakar vibe.

[@richardbartlett6932]

Great picture of you both on the old transalp. Enjoy Lithuania etc bit cold for me there tbh Heading down to Namibia ATM

[@johnpd1639]

Have to say this is the modern/retro bike that is most like its original. This looks so much like the 600/650 that apart from the exhaust back box you would at first glance be trying to figure out what it was old or new. Thank god they ignored the most ugly bike ever the transalp 700. Very expensive new bike and I am sure is good. But if any if your viewers have a chance to buy a 600 or 650 from approx 20 years ago with low milage and well maintained I will tell you it is best 1 to 3 grand you will ever shell out. They are so flexible and timeless and will bring you anywhere around the world.

[@ianrobertson7651]

Great video as usual, owned two of the original 600s and used them as commuters, faultless, enjoy 😊

[@jasonk7072]

The first bikes I saw that made me think ‘I want one of those when I grow up’ were the Transalps, Teneres and Dr Bigs of the 80s. Seeing them loaded up with kit, the riders in their big enduro boots and peaked helmets in the French Alps from the back of a Renault estate made quite an impression on me. I’m delighted to see this type of bike get this modern resurgence though my heart will always belong to the old XTZ750 Tenere.

[@richardahola692]

I still see those original Transalps at rallys in Argentina. People love them and ride them everywhere. I was excited when the new one came out. A little disappointed when I found out how much electronics it has. Probably just me but I prefer a simple bike that is easy to maintain in a third world country. Working on Honda 250 now. It has a siezed speed sensor and a new one is $150. Owner says he would rather buy tires.

[@jfro5867]

Great looking bike, Honda nailed it. Not too big, not too heavy, simple and comfortable too.

[@Senna-xi1gr]

Sounds like Kevin Turvey 👍😀🇬🇧🏆. Love Hondas quality

[@OneStrokeTwin]

That bike and colour scheme be in ksngreat, it suits you. I notice you did the Triumph thing where you have to hold the clutch 😜 nbwhen starting it. Old habits die hard I guess, enioybthebhuje, P point forward to your thoughts on it

[@ChankoNabeWa]

Hey Bro. Would you be interested in doing a review of the new 2024 triumph tiger 900? I'd be interested to see your thoughts.

[@AxelHartleben]

Hi Freddie, the old boat cries make me Freddie's Biker Café. Maybe on Land but the style is great!

[@68orangecrate26]

Honda doesn’t seem to want to sell the Transalp in the states. You can get one… But, you’d better like BLACK🤨

[@Ijusthopeitsquick]

Freddie, you are a tall guy and the Transalp still looks big with you on it. At 5 foot 10 I might have to look elsewhere...

[@trenaallen1613]

Hi Freddie just watching tube on old isle of man TT 1950 very funny wondering have you been to isle of man they have two weeks one for old bikes and one for modern ones where they have a day called mad Sunday 😂

[@BartoszStaszewski_OnPaper]

I'd also like to add that the old ones have one big advantage to the new one, taht is a high mounted exhaust. But the low exhausts are some modern idea that i do not understand, especialy in adventure/offroad bikes. Great channel by the way. I'm currently going through the videos :)

[@biker_dale]

Love this bike, I prefer the older models purely on price, that one is way too much for me. Might I say it does become someone of your stature, I'm sure Monika will get used to being above you 😂 I can really see you owning one of these. Great video as always

[@BlueberryFennec]

That video two years ago actually made me buy my very own Transalp 600.

[@mysterybiker1717]

That Transalp is so un-freddy! V85TT more your thing if you go down that route.

[@landzw]

The transalp is a great bike, but I cannot see when compared to the hornet how it cost an extra 2.4k, that’s a lot of money for the differences, or is it just me?

[@pintsizedbiker]

Though on paper it looks nothing like a Katana some of the arty shots give it a 80s Katana vibe

[@tjeers3098]

Mate since you hyped up the Royal Enfield And I took it for a spin. I’m not trusting your opinion anymore

[@KevvieC-vb4bg]

Looks like some new clothes. I especially like the jacket. What brand is it?

[@markable5338]

You really must take care of your bikes Freddie. Treat them like a lady, better still. Treat them like you would treat Monika.

You'd think a honda dealership would have a bike lift for the van 😅 My local triumph dealers van has one!
