After over 4 years on yourtube, I'm changing the channel away from "Kairyu Rider" to "Dragonite Moto JP". I'm also focusing the direction of the channel. My work life in Japan, from unpaid over time, benefits, stolen wages and more, has lead me to this point of going full time on youtube to hopefully have a real future that is happy and not so dehumanizing.

    The Transalp 750 is still a better bike than the T-7, we have them both and on and off road the Honda Transalp 750 is the bike I chose cause it’s more comfortable on the road and more flickable off road, and my weight I had to change the rear shock anyway on either bike so when I put on a TracTive rear shock and dialed in the front it’s better than most other middle weight bikes and as good suspension wise as the KTM 890 Adventure R, and I only chose the 890 over the Transalp for it’s punch in the power factor, but I will say for long distance the Transalp 750 is even up there where no other bike in its weight class can beat. Oh and I think your channel is awesome and keep safe.

Well there is not much motorcycling content in Englisch coming out of Japan and you seem like a nice fella. The video about dropping weight from the Transalp is a great idea. I hate heavy motorcycles and lowering it down to 190 kg from 208 kg sounds crazy. I'm very curious about how you want to achieve that. So I am looking forward to that video.

    Pretty brave riding on the tractionators in the rain with the leaves. I didn't like them on the street, too slippy everywhere, even just when downshifting. I tried a dunlop trailmax missionn, that was worse in the rain. The only tire I've ever had that would kick sideways on asphault patches at 130km/h in corners with my loaded T7. Free-spin when you twist the throttle to pass cars lol. It's not like the T7 is a torque monster. Maybe they're good in hot countries? Try a set of shinko E805/804 if you can come across them. Or the Pirelli scorpion rally STR, they feel almost identical but 2% better in the twisties, 5% less offroad, much more expensive. Both can be ridden to the edge. That's my take on em anyway. TKC 80s approach dirtbike level traction off-road but they only last 20 minutes. I'm not sure you could push them in the twisties since I was a beginner on the street when I last ran those tires. Probably not, because they're noticeably softer to the touch and would squirm a lot I imagine. Sick riding in Japan. I always wonder how people end up living there, you know, from NA or EU. The trans alp looks significantly faster than the T7, sounds great too. Have fun.

    I've been jumping from the OEM license plate holder to the tail tidy i have currently, and for the last year, i've accepted the tail tidy and all the dirt and mud that comes flying to my back/helmet, seat and all over the bike... i just wash the bike more often and changed the jacket from the tricolor Alpinestar Honda one i had from the Africa Twin to the black Andes V3 one... lolol all that beeing "said", you are right, it's not functional, just looks better and removes a little weight from the bike! Have a great christmas and ride safe!

    The same reason many of us will never buy a Transalp. Just doesnt comed close to the tenere in other areas. Top heavy, you must have never ridden any adv bike over 1000cc

      @Shadyarva it's a touring back made dirt capable. If you not riding long distance to the dirt, don't buy this at all. Get a duelsport. This only makes sense over a duelsport dor long distances between you and the dirt.
