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

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 Tracer 700 2018

Yamaha Tracer 700 2018

The fact that the Yamaha MT-07 is the main parts donor for the Tracer 700 becomes apparent at the latest when you first open the throttle: the powerful parallel twin-cylinder engine exudes agility and a tremendous amount of riding fun. This makes it easy to live with on a touring enduro, which is a good match for longer distances. The chassis could be a little more precise and the windshield could be a little higher, but overall the Tracer 700 is the ultimate fun bike in its class - a lot of fun for comparatively little money.

Very powerful engine

comfortable riding position

easy handling

ABS series

modern design in the style of the Tracer 900

affordable

Relatively small windshield

chassis tuning a little too soft
