I am going to test the Puig lights connected at the ECU and handle them as OEM. About the skid plate, and the crash bars, i prefer the SW Motech version. Active back order exists for them
Thank you for this! Please let me know how you get on with the Puig lights. Keen to find out if it works 😊 The skid plate and bars are a must for me. There seems to be a lot of people going to the SW Motech ones, they look good! What else are you planning on doing to your bike? 😊
Great video. Love your accesories. After having ditched the F750GS, and now the KTM 790ADV in my thoughts, and having decided on the Transalp, I'll be needing especially heated grips, skid plate to cover up the ugly bottom side, and crash bar(s). Fog lights and hand guards definately not urgent, but in time, surely. Maybe not OEM to save some money. I am also definately thinking of the phone holder bar that goes right above the TFT screen and looks great. And then I might add a apple carplay computer so I can keep my phone in my pocket and not risk it's camera disfunctioning. And oh yes, every video I watched to do with this bike, has been insisting that the owners get the quickshifter. They say it works sublime with this bike and makes riding so much more fun. So thinking about that as well. Subscribed!
Thank you very much 😊 good choice! It’s a fantastic bike 😊 I am very happy with the bike and the optional extras I went for. I know they are expensive but definitely worth it. Can you get aftermarket fog lights to wire up to the function switch like the Honda ones? Definitely something worth looking into. I have thought about the phone holder above the screen but I fear it may get in the way of the camera when filming 😂 Plus when I need a navigation, it can come through the screen with the Honda Road Sync app. I did think about the quick shifter but at the time I didn’t see a need for it. Even now I’m not sure I would use it enough to make it worth the extra money, but it is tempting as everyone does say it’s worth it. Thank you very much for subscribing 👊 it’s a huge help 😊
@@TyresNTorque I know I told you that I’ve decided towards the transalp but I have to see the KTM 790 is still on my mind. Even though the new ones are made in China with Austrian parts, test riders are saying that you can’t tell the difference and that it’s still worth buying. Plus it’s got an additional cornering ABS and cruise control. So now I’m back in that dilemma.
@erkutgurun that’s good that riders are still saying good things 😊 They are a nice looking bike, a hard choice… Please let me know what you decide on 😊 And I will 👊
Hello 👋 Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback. I am just over 6’2 (188cm) and the taller windscreen certainly provides me with a lot more protection than the standard one. The wind is pushed out of my eye line and to the top of my head. Are you using the wind deflectors? They also make a huge different to rider comfort and are certainly worth looking at 😊
@@TyresNTorque I am buying the bike in the US, so the only option is black which is ok. To get the bash plate I had to also get the engine guards, probably for the best. I am trying to decide on the fog lights and radiator guard. I like the higher windshield but will be off-road a lot too and want to check if I would hit my helmet on them.
@@daletalaplaya5086 I didn’t realise it was only available in black in the US. I would have any of the 3 colours to be honest they all look great, but the white/tri is my favourite. I’m 6’3 and when I’m standing up there is loads of room even with the taller screen. Maybe it is worth trying the standard one first and see how much room you have before purchasing the taller screen? The bash plate is a great idea if you are riding off road and so is the radiator guard. Have you considered the upper side pipes?
@@TyresNTorque I wasn’t a fan of the black at first but now I like it a lot. Yeah I am 5’11, so maybe it will be fine. The radiator guard looks so good. Probably pull the trigger on that too. I am getting the upper guards already. The price is getting up there but I don’t think I would want anything else for the same price. I have Mosko Moto reckless 80s on my other bike and trying to figure what to do about those passenger grab handles. They stick out so far and I hear they weight 3kgs. I will let you know how that works out. I was looking at the SW rack but they have a 19% tax to the US so I will wait for a better option.
@@daletalaplaya5086 It’s a great looking bike! I think that’s a good choice, looks good and it’s piece of mind you have the added protection. The optional extras are not cheap but it’s worth it in my eyes!

Brilliant 😊 Thanks for this! Please let me know what you think of the SW mototech sump guard etc when it’s all on. To me it’s a must, I don’t want to risk damaging that engine casing or fairings!

@psalm116servant hello 👋 They are easy to use, heat up well and they are easily adjusted through the function button on the left hand side of the handle bar. Really happy with them 😊 Are you tempted by them?
Hello 👋 Since making this video - Yes I have had a centre stand fitted, along with a few other optional extras. I will be making “part 2” video soon 😊 What optional extras do you have on your bike?
No GPS bracket, no tank protection, no travel equipment, my friend, the road until completing the project of Transalp is long and expensive! Soon, i am going to make a same video. The total amount is close to € 2000!
Optional extras can be expensive but there are so many options for people to choose from, some of which are cheaper than the genuine Honda options 😊 I have the tank pads fitted and I use my phone for navigation, so I have no need for a GPs mount or bracket. What else have you done to your bike?
Hello 😊 Thank you for your comment. I’m just under 6’3 and it is the most comfortable bike I have sat on and ridden. I have spent some time on an Africa Twin and a GS1200 and the Transalp has a very similar seating position but better with wind protection. I covered 900 miles in 3 days last week and I had no problem with being uncomfortable. 😊 I presume you are tall? Please subscribe 👊
Few question if I may? Does it have a snatchy throttle as widely reported on the Hornet? Does it have enough low down torque? Is it fun to ride? Do you notice the 21" front wheel in terms of handling? Does the rear suspension feel adequate for normal road riding as some report it's a bit budget feeling. Thanks in advance.
Hello 👋 Of course… - No, the throttle does not seem snatchy to me. However it is more responsive in sport mode. I can happily ride through a town or through traffic at slower speeds and the bike feels smooth. However I wouldn’t leave the bike in sport mode for that, I would stick it in user or rain mode. The power delivery is a little more relaxed and smoother a slower speeds. - It does have enough low down torque for me but from what I have heard from others, not as much as the V Strom DE 800 low down. It is certainly an engine that likes to be revived a little more, than sit at low RPM. Having said that, I don’t rev my bike hard as there isn’t a huge need to. Personally I love the power and delivery. More than enough for me. - Yes, absolutely, it is defiantly a fun bike to ride. Nimble, light and plenty of power. - My last bike (a 650 Transalp) also had a 21 inch front wheel so no, I didn’t notice anything significant, other than the 750 being very nimble and light in comparison to my old bike and other adventure bikes I have ridden. The handling of this bike really is very good. - I don’t ride fast and most of my riding is on my own with no pillion and the suspension is more than adequate for me. I have made some small adjustments to preload to stiffen the bike up a little and this has really helped. The bike is more stable and has less suspension dive when braking ad less squat when accelerating. I hope this helps 😊 Have you test ridden one?
@@TyresNTorque How's this for an eclectic selection - New Duke 990, Guzzi Stelvio, Multistrada V2S, Hypermotard 950 and a Sport Glide. I'm 6'4" so leg room, an upright riding position and general comfort are key. I'm not specifically looking for an Adv bike but thought the Transalp could be a good option, not to mention the least expensive.
@@Otto-AutoPilot Wow! That’s a huge selection to choose from! I’m just under 6’3 so I understand the leg room and comfort issue. Unfortunately I haven’t ridden any of those bikes though, other than the Transalp of course. Do you have a favourite? What have you test ridden?
Thank you. At the moment I don’t need any more luggage but it certainly something I will look into for the bigger trips. Seems to make more sense having the weight a little lower down. Do you have a Transalp? 😊
@@TyresNTorque africa twin. Looks so close to it so not worth adding to the stable or replacing but I'm still following developements & will test ride.
Hello, I haven’t weighed the bike or any of the optional extras unfortunately so I am unsure on the weight difference. The skid plate is the only optional extra I fitted myself and it wasn’t as heavy as I thought it was going to be, surprisingly light to be honest. The bike doesn’t feel heavy or difficult to move around with the optional extras on. But it does make the bike feel bigger. Sorry I can’t give you an exact number.
I notice that the front indicators stay on solid all the time, untill they blink for indicating? do you think that maybe dangerous? BMW do similar also on the rear. An aftermarket solusion is avialable for BMW that leaves them on but as a white light, until used for indicating when they show orange/yellow.
Hello 😊 Yes that is correct, they blink when indicating but they are otherwise always on when the ignition is on. If anything I think it makes the bike more visible and therefore safer, as there is a contrast of 2 different coloured lights at the front of the bike instead of just the headlight colour. Do you think this light set up is dangerous? H What is your current setup? 😊
Yes, I do think that they could be a distraction, people already don't look properly, a quick glance sees an amber light thinking that it's an indication, then pull out and we all know the result. I do think that the idea of them staying on is good, but they should be a white light. I'm not sure if there is an aftermarket solution as with BMW but If I had the Transalp I would be looking. Have a look at the attached just as an idea of what I'm thinking about. ua-cam.com/video/EHHm1Xc7j0o/v-deo.html
Without bike at the moment, hence searching around and looking at loads of bikes. I am swaying towards the Transalp in the dark grey. Keep safe and post some more content on the Transalp. @@TyresNTorque
I really like them, plenty of grip on the road and good in both the wet and dry. I have only done some very mild off road on some gravel tracks and they where good there too. I don’t ride too fast and I haven’t done any heavy off road yet though. I hope this helps and I have understood your question correctly 😊 Please subscribe
I think they missed the opportunity to make this a better bike. Cruise control, tubeless tires, and an easier adjustment for the rear shock. Maybe a DCT option. But no.

Hello 😊 The cruise control and tubeless tyres seems to be a common fault/missing part a lot of riders seem to want. Personally I don’t feel the need for cruise control and don’t notice any downsides to having tubed tyres. But if all of the other competitors have gone tubeless, not sure why Honda haven’t.

Im not sure if they will do a DCT option in the future but their is talk about an aftermarket Honda addition which can be put on modern bikes which is close to DCT but not the same.

@@TyresNTorque i own the white blue and red one, classical colours, which in my opinion fit the most these bikes. The tubes are a problem, I got a puncture a couple of times, and one time came home on the towing truck. Wouldn't have been a problem with tubeless.
