@@MRR7 yes.and i ve seen many.really many.i ll go for 80% to this bike.i made a very quick test ride to this bike and to the vstrom800 the same day.and a comfused more that i was before.i like tenere too.but more or less,the rides i ll do,is like this video.also a need a few months to guther the money.so,i still watch videos..
I have one. It's a great bike, no doubt. I just can't get over that it doesn't look as cool as it should - for its performance, versatility and overall fun factor, it should look the part. The T7 is so much cooler looking. This being the case, I am always looking to get another bike (not unusual for motorcycle enthusiasts). Yet, what bike is better for my everyday rides? There really are not many. This bike can do virtually anything. So, I chill out and just keep looking and wondering. Not a bad place to be...
Awesome comment! There's a new bike that might tick all your boxes : MV Agusta Enduro Veloce 2024. Beauty is subjective tough. The Transalp only looks good from the sides and from the back. Did you check out the Triumph Tiger 900? Or a KTM Adventure 890?
@@MRR7 Thank you! I like the Triumph, especially the Rally? edition as it comes with the skid plate, etc. I heard very bad things about the KTM's reliability, so I didn't bother. So, what did it for me was the Honda's price just under $10k. I did just check out the MV Agusta's website; it looks very similar to the Ducati DesertX. I cannot tell how much they cost. If it's $2k cheaper than a Ducati, I might go for it. But there are virtually no MV Agusta dealerships around me. There are 2 Ducati dealerships within 30 miles - that does make a difference when it comes to servicing those Italian beauties. I'll certainly keep an eye on them, though. Honestly, if I went practical with this Honda, then I should go for straight fun for my 2nd bike. I'm thinking Hypermotard.
Nice sporty driving, showing the capabilities of the bike. Really nice route also! Could you ride the same route with Vstrom 800 or even the Tenere 700; that would be a good comparison. Thanks!
This is the best transalp ride on youtube so far.
Wow , thanks!

It's an awesome bike! Only things I would add are a larger windshield and Quickshifter
Sounds great.
I like your Transalb Video 😜👍
Very nice 👍👍👍👍.... Speed vs rpm 😮😮😮😮.... Just great 👍👍👍
Unusual sound..
I'm using an external microphone, not the ones from gopro. The tires are noisy too.
@@MRR7I think the setup sounds excellent. You've made the sound almost first person.
I appreciate it!
You used the same method and to the hornet?@@MRR7
Yes , microphone in jacket's back pocket

Do you feel that air of freedom?
With this bike, definitely. Especially when you go on dirt roads

I'd love to, but I don't think I'll have the chance to test those bikes :(
