Really liked your Transalp review as I resemble almost everything you said! I have a Tracer 9GT, but as my age approaches my weight (in Kg of course) I find myself less likely to twist the throttle in an exploration of growing triple digits on the Speedo! I also ride a first generation Vstrom 650, so I am thinking of selling both bikes and buying a Transalp - two for one seems about right these days, and based upon your review the Transalp would seem to have a bit of a “Swiss Army Knife” personality. Similar to you, on my bikes I always change out the “meep-meep” stock horns for Stebel ones and put on trail lights….I want to be seen and heard - especially on the twisty coastal roads in Nova Scotia! Thanks 😎

lovely bike mate-- probably my next

I test rode the transalp its an amazing ride loved it. the only reason i didnt buy it was the tubed tyres and no cruise control otherwise its an amazing machine

Do you think it would be possible to do what you've done in previous videos, on the AJP, with the KTM?

Great video and well done making it out safe. I got stuck in southern eastern Andalusia on 1st Nov a couple of days after the bad floods in Valencia, we had driven down from the ferry the day before and made it unscathed by any water they may have been still around? Taking 2 brand new KX 450 XC’s down, as i do trail riding holiday tours down in southern Spain. First day out on the Friday and even though all the flood water had passed through the region and out to sea, there were still wet patches about, having ridden into some mud that looked shallow, I found out quickly that it was wet sand with water below it, which soon turned to quick sand trying to extract the bike! It was over my boots and really hard to move due to the suction, the bikes wheels were more than half submerged and it was sunk above the foot pegs, 2 hours later and after having found a long scaffold pole and two large sheets of plywood on a building site close by to us, it was out. It could have been so much worse without those three items, there was no access to get a 4x4 to the bike or even a digger. Local knowledge of the area was essential, shame I can’t add any photos of my bike buried on this comment, lesson learned, dismount and assess the trail by foot first!

What an adventure! Congratulations on making it back in one piece.

Great vid

Its never a good thing to ride on your own , unless you know the route ! I have been trail riding for many years ,,, and you have to know when to turn back .. if a section looks hard i always walk if first ! and if i hesitate i dont ride it........anyway you were lucky to get some help....Keith

thoughts for Valencians and anyone affected

you went for adventure right? there you go old boy 🙂 - right bike for the task i hasten to add, we who ride the mighty 500 are gods among men

Mud and rocks! What a combo!!! At least you weren't on a bigger bike and you had help from fellow riders! Other than that, it looks beautiful!

what a great bike this is tho I have chosen VStrom800DE

For sure, I was at the point of giving up and walking the 2 hours down to the nearest village. TET friendship to the rescue 😊

lucky to have had help , Bravo Sir

How does the screen of the samsung compare to the carpe iter? is it readable when sun is shining down on it?

great video, just the proper info

Yes this is 'a bike for all seasons'. Not too heavy, pleasant handling, a bit of power, but importantly - it feels 'happy' at almost any speed. Enjoyable going slowly, with a great sense of stability and a very easy clutch action, checking out the scenery, or revving it a bit, and enjoying the surprising on-road manners at speed. The fuel economy is legendary - down around 3.1 - 3.4/100 kms at about 85 - 90 kmh on dirt, and 3.9 - 4.1 at open road speeds (100 - 110). The economy more about range than cost, and mine easily does 400 kms/tank, when filled right up to the cap. And be aware, those that haven't read the handbook, that when the last fuel bar starts flashing, it still has 3.7L left, which will do 80 kms or 50 miles. Handy to know. And the 'T' on the dashboard is for Traction Control - a function which I find very intrusive on loose surfaces - and can be switched off (along with rear wheel ABS) for rougher terrain. Switching these two 'aids' off creates a more serious and capable off-road bike, although as we all know, the suspension is a bit 'low-rent' for anything too ambitious. I leave mine in Sport for the most part, which minimises the TC, but TC off is better in loose stuff. But as it comes, this is a surprising machine, and I am enjoying mine more than I expected to. I will continue to improve it with a bit more lightening, and some suspension upgrades, but there is no urgency - the bike is pretty good as is. I have added a bash-plate (B&B) and made a lighter rear rack, added bear-grip footrests and wind deflectors (these last two 'thrown in with the deal' as the first buyer here in South Australia) and have run Pirelli STRs (1 x front and 2 x rears) and now have the coarser STR Rallys on there. These are more grippy off-road, but feel heavier and stiffer after the base STRs, which I might go back to as the best compromise of both uses - dirt and bitumen. But if you're not worried about looking like you've just ridden the Dakar, this is a very useful bike. Better than it seems at first, and grows on you over the miles. I reckon it's a keeper, and I ride mine most days. I have had it just over 12 months.

thank you Yamaha for developing???

Any vibrations on the handles.My new Transalp 750 XL is vibrating a lot.My fingers gat numb after short ride.Avouid this bike

So glad you had a lekka time here in South Africa, thank you for showing the rest of the world what we have to offer. 👍🏻🇿🇦😀

Hi thanks for the video. What is your result after testing it for one year? Could you read the display properly during sunlight? You can also easily connect the buttons from carpe iter or any other bluetooth controller via bluetooth but I think you already found out. Thanks for your work, I appreciate it!

I m between this and vstrom800de.and i cant deside.why did you reject vstrom?

Had mine for four months. 12k miles so far. Upgrade the seat. If your tall get a new windscreen otherwise the bike is fantastic!!!

Where did you get the bracket holding your ram mount to the handlebar clamp?

Hi thank you for sharing I am still trying to find time to ride my transalp your video was excellent .I will try to ride more I look forward to the next video God bless

Once you get your first service, pop the TA in SPORT. Made me giggle on mine ;-)

Nearly 10k completed on mine, its a great road bike, 21in is perfect for the uk poor roads. Changed the rear shock to a Hagon, complete game changer, only limit now is the tyres.

I had a Yamaha XT from 1997, Versys 650, and now V-strom 650 XT (golden rims). I have tested many more bikes, and I test drove Transalp 750 for about 45 minutes, tried road up to 150 km/h, grawel, meadow, slow speed manover. Versys was a really fun bike, I didn't know that until you try other bikes because you are used to yours. Nothing is close, not even cfmoto 800 mt. My curent v-strom is realy great bike, suspension is much better than on old v-stroms, it is firmer, remote rear preload is a must (and transalp doesn't have it.) V-strom is more stable at hi speed, better for two up thatn versys. But, v-strom is much more boring. Transalp is more fun at leas in tahat short ride. Suspension is too soft, after going over speed bumps (we call it laying policemen or sleeping policemen in my country) rear wallows for at least three times up and down, it feels very creepy... (I weight 108 kg ) so if I would buy Transalp I would probably go for a change in suspension. Best thing in new Transalp for me is upright seating positions, because I really really miss that from my Versys, my hands and back are killing me more on a v-strom, and from test drive Transalp is a lot like versys in seating, so I am considering to buy Transalp. I tried all similar bikes, only didnt try new Suzuki 800 de, but from reviews and overlaid images it is seen that handlebar is more forward than on Transalp, so I am still for a Transalp. I really like Africa Twin more but it is too high for me , too expensive, and I do a lot of filtering daily and I can have only one bike. There is a low seat but it is hard, and still rear is at same height so it is the same problem for getting on the bike (Italians are shorter and I always see that low seat on parked Africa Twins with italian registrations ;). Kove 800 looks ridiculously small under me, and I wull take a wife on half of the rides so no kove, cfmoto 800 mt is a serious contender, a little heavy in the hands and corners, KTM have cam shaft issues, but I thing that engine used in cfmoto is better, I didn't found any reported cam issue with cfmoto 800 mt online. But I will stick to japanese for now. Cfmoto will probably become known and reliable brand.

Your decision making process is very familiar 😅👍

You described it well. I love Transalp as a bike to do it all. Coming from many different bikes in the past, found it to be great in many use cases.

Good review! Waiting for the 2025 model to arrive, than will trade my 690R in…. Cheers

I really appreciated your review as I hope to get this bike as well. Looking good Fit Bones from a kiwi now living in Australia.

Had mine about a month, also just about to get the first service done. Been riding myself over 30 years and had many larger engined bikes. This is a 750 twin so people need to remember that. Compared to my previous 750’s (VFR x 2, VFR800) this TA an engine is a peach and equally as pokey. IMHO it’s got plenty of torque and revs very keenly. The TA a is a harmonised package. For road riding you don’t need any more poke, you just don’t. Love it.

I have also test rode the bike. I missed some low end torque, I felt I always want to rev it, to have some fun. Also I'd do something with the suspension (probably the roads here in Central/Eastern Europe are much worse than there).

Do you have to have an active sim card for the GPS and apps to work?

How much did doing the new fabric cost?

Glad you found your bike man!

love the videos. changed exhaust? sounds different to me. better i should say.

Nice bike, what year is it?

How sturdy is the mount on the bike? Seems like 2 ball mounts might be better! Thank you!

Hi I've just bought a Oukitel RT3 outdoor tablet for the same purpose, only the RT3 has more ram otherwise very similar. biggest difference being the RT3 is half the price of the Samsung 👍

Love my Rally Raid UK products! My Crf rally keeps me in shape! 550 Performance and a Yoshi exhaust system got her all spicy! Cheers from Chicago

I just bought some ghost armour (lv2) and I got Rukka sets with the bigger shoulder pieces as you showed. How did you fit them into the bigger pockets and how to make them not move around. I know there is a loop hole but my set don’t have that feature.

20 videos watched and this is the only one that actually gave me the basic information I wanted, good job!

Well done! CRF300 Rally owner here. Taken mine to Baviaankloof via the Grootrivierpoort turnoff and it handles those rocks and mud with ease. Please keep the videos coming, it’s always helpful to see possible new riding destinations. Where did you buy the bike? Greetings from Muizenberg, Cape Town

Nice. Itchy Boots also on a 300CRF and she has gone EVERYWHERE with that thing. Currently in Angola all the way from Egypt side.

I feel much freer exploring with a light weight old school style scrambler than with any of the mid to heavyweight adventure bikes. Go anywhere anytime feeling.

Well done, you are an inspiration. I am 57 and riding the Honda CRF250 rally in the cape and loving the small easy bike. Plan to do a similar ride that you did shortly.

Very enjoyable watch
