Overview

About Honda XL750 Transalp

The Honda XL750 Transalp is a middleweight adventure motorcycle designed for long-distance touring, daily riding, gravel roads, and light off-road exploration. Its 755 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine uses a 270-degree crank and produces 67.5 kW at 9,500 rpm and 75 Nm at 7,250 rpm. The Transalp uses a 90/90-21 front tyre and a 150/70 R18 rear tyre on wire-spoke wheels with aluminium rims. These tube-type adventure wheels are designed to provide stability and control on both paved and uneven surfaces. Choosing quality adventure tyres in the correct sizes can improve loose-surface traction, wet-road grip, braking confidence, impact resistance, and touring durability.
