I've started to gather as much informations as possible but also add some of my personal experiences, at least when it comes to my 2023 Transalp XL750. Some informations differ depending on the source (for ex. the year when the first Transalp XL600V was released: some say 1986 some 1987). Please feel free to complete or correct my data from the video in the comment section, it would be great to have all the correct Transalp's evolution. Any comment wil be more than appreciated. 🔔 TIMELINE 0:00 intro 0:32 FIRST GENERATION TRANSALP XL600V 05:14 HONDA XL400V 06:48 SECOND GENERATION TRANSALP XL650V 08:00 TRANSALP BUILD IN THE ATESSA HONDA FACTORY ITALY 18:02 THIRD GENERATION TRANSALP 700V 25:58 TRANSALP XL750 29:18 outro

Excellent review of the Honda Transalp, thank you. I have a 2023 XL750 and a 2001 XL650V made in Italy. The build quality of the 650 is very good, including the plastic panels, and still looks great after 23 years of riding. Both are a joy to ride on our often rough roads here in New Zealand. Although improved in almost every way and much faster than the 650, I am not totally in love with modern electronics. The older model offers simplicity and a real connection to the road surface with great feedback. Keeping both forever!

Great comment, it's so nice that previous models are still running. In this consumerist society it's a refreshing thing to hear. Greetings and all the best 👍

Thank You for this historic journey of this legend! Am the proud owner of the XL650V/2005 in Orange Metallic with over 100000km on the clock. Been in My ownership for 12 good years. I mostly drive in arctic climate of Scandinava…Have upgraded it slowly over the years. The biggest upgrade is the Hyperpro progressive suspension front & rear that transformed the bike. Yes the plastics are sadly quite brittle & cracks easily…So crashbars is a must since the panels are gettin harder to find. Easy to work on, provide honest, reasonable & reliable transportation in comfort. Great bike & will never sell it. The Power Of Dreams ❤

Thanks for the great story of Transalp. I owned 1987 Transalp 600V for 37 years. And today I changed it to the new XL750 Transalp.

Hello thanks for the comment. Enjoy your new bike! Why haven't you kept both?

@toshinaka1309

Yeah, I wanted to keep both because the 1987 Transalp is good condition. But there is not enough space for the two bikes. I wish the old Transalp will cross the pacific ocean and find a new owner in North America or East Europe.@@IdealBike

I live in the United States and bought a 1989 tricolored Transalp that had sat on the dealer's floor floor for two years in 1991. It has about 24,000 miles on it and runs great. Lots of memories with that bike. Added the 2024 Transalp to the stable and am working to add protective gear to it (most items are back ordered - due to demand I guess). Recently gave the 1989 Transalp to my son to continue the journey. Thanks for history!

@@SubaruKtm I don't think there's any side tanks for the 700. Boano used to make for the 650, but not sure if they are still available. I've never felt the need for it. In my last travel I had long stretches without fuel available over the range of the 700, so I just strapped a cheap 5 liters fuel container to the back. Most of the time the range is plenty enough, and even more on the 650.

I think the xl700v was actually a varadero without the cast wheels

Outstanding material! Decent summary of Transalp history!

❤ i love transalp!! ❤

In Brazil, the third generation Honda Transalp was assembled from 2011 to 2014.

I would love an XL400v

The 650 is an awesome bike however the front plastics are cheap and clunky.. The best modification I've ever made was replacing the front plastics for a Boano fairing which had made it perfect 👍

No word about the racing dna inherited from NXR750, 4 times Dakar winner, interrupting the series of BMW wins, with the V-twin designed especially for race, that had given all the trend of the following Japanese bikes, especially Honda's Africa Twin and Transalp? Even GPT4+ doesn't rise to expectations.
