I have this motorcycle (bought it in july) very happy with it, my favourite motorcycle i have owned. This will be a longterm keeper. Its not the 'best' out there but for more budget oriented people who dont have the money for ducati/KTM this is really good value.
@@LifeofSmokey Btw, about the handlebar shake, I also have this and i think its caused by the tire on it. Which means i definitely will never chose this tire again after it wears out. Any speed over 50km/h u get a buzz/wobble in the handlebar. I had a motorcycle before which also had it with a certain tire.
Bob had more road tires so different as mine and his also had it 😅. A friend said it's because Honda is going cheap with some parts 😳. Just like other brands are now having parts and engines build in China for lower costs.
@@LifeofSmokey Oh no lol thats sad news, I was really hoping different tires would fix this issue. I dont think its ok for a motorcycle to wobble from left to right when u let go off the handlebars XD theres even a constant buzz/vibration in the handlebar, more noticable at certain speeds
I have got to say that you are by far my most favourite motorcycle UA-camr../ journalist!! Off the back of this i am planning on coming over for this event. Humour and facts 👍🏻 keep it up.
Thx champ! Event is really cool , you can ride a ton of brand new motorcycles for free in two days 😁👌. Have to buy the entrance ticket tho so not really free 😅
Third Gear wheelies are possible. It actually wheelies suprisingly well for an adv :) You can also turn off the TC while riding. Main reasons why I ordered one 😂
@@LifeofSmokey mode button until user pops up. Then hold mode and you can adjust power, engine brake, TC and abs. When you select TC button up (hold 3 secs) and wheelie time! Also tested it while riding and works 👍👍
Lijkt goed op de nieuwe bmw gs 1300 uhmmm de achterkant zeker :) love Honda, love BMW en die andere motoren ook. enkel de Honda pasifica doet zeer aan de ogen. Smokey stuff good mojo.
I had quite strong wooble with my KTM 1290 SAR since the very first day, then when I changed the tires, the dealer said the wheel was somehow bent and he rectified it. Much better since then but still not perfect. Quite disappointing for a 20+keuros bike!
@@LifeofSmokey oei alé nu honderden euro's weg geven voor een nieuwe Vitessenbak 💸💸💸. Mijn moeder heeft nog een Suzuki samurai staan in de schuur hij staat daar al 11 jaar maar binnen en 2 jaar restaureer ik hem als ik in mijn eerste jaar automechanica zit en ik ga er een stoere offroader van maken met modder banden, wichbumper, sportuitlaat, kuipzetels en zo voort. Maar dat gaat wel💸 maar ja het is voor de Fun maar speeltjes mogen geld kosten he.
You got to know that the Transalp is geared a lot taller than the KTM 890 or Norden 901 and the Transalp has around 21ft.lbs. less torque than the 890 or 901. But I believe if you geared down the Transalp with a smaller front or larger rear sprocket it could be a real adventure weapon on or off road, and you have the Honda reliability going for it,,,> hmm I think I'm about to talk myself into buying a Transalp. Good job Smokey!
Max Verstappen drinks red bull and has a huge following , him with Matthieu van der Poel are actually the biggest influencers in the country. Also world champions but also influencers 😁
ahahah stop kissing hondas ass!!! you dont need that! we love you for you ! they should too... if they dont like you is because they something to hide!

It will be more reliable than a KTM.
Wonderful festival! So many treasures in one place. I hope you enjoyed it and thank you for sharing it with us.
Hoping to see more Hondas in future! Ride safe homie ❤

Fun review! Six gear is a crusing gear, not a power gear.
Nice one Smokes. Always, look forward to your stuff..like the premier stuff too.👍🏻
If you haven't already, you should try the Suzuki DE800.

How did I turn it off when riding? Didn't find anything 😅

Show time! 😎😊
Africa Twin Smokey plissssss
Oh when will these manufacturers learn not to give Smokey a bike to ride.
hahaha seriously !! 😭🤣
Heb je de Hornet gereden ?

It does feel and ride like a Honda , feels like you could ride it for years without problems :-)
😂 good video
Only black in the US now
Maybe people doing stupid wheelies badly have dented the front rim? My TA is fine and no wobbles. Maybe lay off the caffeine a bit……
Well you do influence people to do wheelies, so you kinda are a influencer.

At the exact moment when he asked if he had a DCT, I turned off the video.
