Honda XL750 Transalp 2025

Honda XL750 Transalp 2025

The essence of the Honda XL750 Transalp has not completely changed with the revision for 2025, it still manages the balancing act between different disciplines of motorcycling and shines wherever it doesn't get too extreme. Its greatest strengths are its low weight and the resulting easy handling. The engine is a really powerful unit and the engine management is well setup, but the inline-two could offer a little more punch at low revs. The suspension has now been improved, the brakes offer plenty of comfort and handle all moderate riding situations with aplomb, but merciless cornering or hard off-roads are still not entirely suited to it. However, the Transalp's task is not to win races or rallies, but to carry everyday riders and long-distance touring riders through the world with confidence. And it can do that! Only one thing hurts here: The lack of cruise control.

accessible, yet fun engine with plenty of power

well suited for smaller riders, but also roomy enough for taller riders

great workmanship

precise transmission, top quickshifter (optional)

good price-performance ratio

low weight

easy handling in all situations

low fuel consumption

improved suspension

intuitive electronics, high-quality switches

No cruise control, not even as an accessory

relatively little maximum lean angle

carefully tuned Assistance Systems that have to manage without IMU

Yamaha Tenere 700 2025

Yamaha Tenere 700 2025

In 2025, the Tenere 700 features ride-by-wire, traction control and riding modes for the first time. Strictly speaking, it may have lost some of its unique selling point in the travel enduro market, its purist approach, but this does little to change its character. It is still the versatile, robust adventure bike that feels at home on loose surfaces and also cuts a fine figure on the tarmac. If the new electronic features are not a reason for increased interest in the new T7, then perhaps the many improvements in detail based on customer feedback are. A fixed tank cap, offset clutch cable mount, reinforced rear end and adapted fairings may not sound like much, but in practice they make the overall Tenere package more pleasant and practical than ever before. The next time I unintentionally activate the ABS on my old Tenere using the killswitch, I will miss the new T7.

Great, powerful engine

Beautifully responsive suspension

Many changes in detail that make the Tenere more practical than before

Easy to read, beautifully styled TFT display

ABS mode remains active when the emergency stop button is actuated

ABS button in the cockpit for quick deactivation of the ABS

Very good ergonomics for upright riding

No cruise control available for an extra charge

Strange indicator switches

No tubeless rims available

Somewhat limited space for large feet on the footrests
