    Hi Kaz, I test rode the Transalp back in May when it first came out and at 5ft 7” I felt it was slightly too high for me, back then the lower seat wasn’t an option. There is now a lowering kit from Lust racing UK which is basically 2 brackets which replace the ones on the shock absorber and lowers it by approx 30mm so combined with the lower seat might be worth considering for us shorties. The lowering kit is £150 which isn’t cheaper for what it is but it’s an option anyway. Ride safe 👍

      Hey 👋 yes, it is a bit tall for us shorties, okay to ride but moving it around is not so easy! I believe Honda offer the option of a lower seat now but good to know there are other companies offering it too, thank you for sharing that 😎 #RideSafe

    It's a bit Frustrating for us 5"6" Riders the seat Height would Rule the Transalp out. For Me
    I would have to go for The Hornet 750 even though I think this is Definitely the Better looking
    Expect a Retro Version 750 Twin In the Near Future . rumours of a GB 750 Honda on the internet!

      yes, I agree, it is frustrating that the seat height is so tall for those of us of a shorter disposition!

      @@BikerKazZ - The suspension travel is a factor for Off-roading and standing on foot pegs on rough terrain. The Front axle shaft is positioned outside the Fork travel angle.
      The rear is even more complex, stability, alignment, engine final drive transfer setup to rear wheel, on and on..
      However, with a single one up rider and a rear saddle bag.
      The suspension can be changed to suit a rider with a short inseam flat foot reach.
      A heavy bike would easily tip on both sides and be a challenge to get it up and ride ahead.
      A lighter bike, means more enjoyable ride and less fatigue for rider during a given travel time.
      Fatigue will make your after ride stay a bad experience and to get up early next day to ride again. No I would always go for a lower capacity , low weight ride.

      @@aviator9985 yes, having ridden off road (not on the Transalp) I would prefer to go for a lighter, lower powered bike, the bigger tire me quicker!

    Great review~ I've been looking into the Transalp and the new Vstrom 800 as my next bike. After watching many reviews the Transalp edges the Vstrom because of it's superior heat management~ apparently the Vstrom really bakes your legs with heat. That is a deal killer for me because I live in Las Vegas & it is quite hot here for six months out of the year. What country do you live in?

      Thank you Mikey, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 😊I’m in the UK so a bit of extra heat wouldn’t go amiss 😂 seriously though the vstrom and its heat doesn’t sound good! Keep me posted if you take the Transalp for a test ride, I’d be interested to hear what you think 😎
