We Bought TWO Brand New 2024 Honda Transalp 750s

- Nobody has been more excited about the all new 2024 Honda Transalp 750 than our awesome friend @thegracefulrenegade. She has been looking to upgrade from her beloved Honda CB500X and when I found out her local dealership had not one but TWO brand new 2024 Honda Transalp 750s we just knew we had to make the impossible happen. He had to do the world's first DOUBLE NEW BIKE DAY.
I've been very interested in the new Honda Transalp since it was announced and while I've had my doubts and was a little disappointed because I didn't think it stacks up as well as I'd hope when compared Honda Transalp 750 vs Yamaha Tenere 700, I decided to pick one up to make content on and test and review myself over the next few months.
So if you're wondering what choice to make Honda CB500X vs Honda Transalp 750 like Grace or just wondering how the Yamaha Tenere 700 vs Honda Transalp 750 competition is going to turn out, make sure to like and subscribe to this channel and Grace's channel for tons of new Honda Transalp content coming very soon!

People already thinking Honda sponsors our channels... LOL. Let's get together and film a video (or livestream?) where we compare and contrast our thoughts after we get to ride these a bit more.
Yes I'm so down!
I'm really looking forward to the content you guys produce around the Transalp. I can really see myself sending a Transalp down the NorCal BDR in 2024. Help inform my decision whether I should replace my CB500x (rally raid)
If you listen closely, you can already hear the cries of "sell out" on the wind. 😁
1 comment, 2 Channels. 🐥🐦
Yes. Please.
I've been riding a CB500X for a while and just bought a Honda Transalp. I didn't even know I wanted it. I went to the dealer to see if they had a Africa twin that I like to look at but they're too big for me. A transalp was sitting there.. 20 minutes later it was mine.. probably one of the most expensive impulse purchases I made on the spot. But I love it.. I have no regrets.
Can I have the CB500X then ?
@@leeinwis I already gave it to my son. Sorry.
@@leeinwis if you can get your hands on a CB500x it's definitely a good bike. I would not have upgraded until I found out supply is very limited. If you're buying new definitely go for the transalp if you have the option.
Congrats Ben and Grace on new bikes!!! Can't wait for more videos!!
Congratulations man! New bike day is the best! I’m definitely looking forward to content on the Transalp! Also, congrats to Grace on hers. I’d be interested to see a comparison video of what you guys choose as far as accessories for your bikes.
Congrats man, looking forward to seeing how it tackles the trails.
Looking forward to the content. Keep up the great work. 100k just around the corner
So stoked for you two and pretty jelly too!
Congrats!!!
I’m curious to see if you find or think the same things I did with my test video.
Been waiting for this video! Anxious to see your reviews of this bike.
Dude....can't wait for the butt load of content! Picked mine up last Friday here in North Carolina.
Hi Ben, really looking forward to the great content to come, Love New Bike Day!!
Congrats 🎉 Nothing beats New Bike Day.
BTW Chewy wants the first ride.
Congratulations to you and Grace on the purchase of your new Transalps! I placed a deposit on my bike on September 21 but as the weather here in Muskoka Canada gets crappy very soon I've told them to bounce my delivery down the list till next spring or summer. I've watched a ton of Transalp conent and reviews from UA-camrs in Europe and I believe you're in for a serious love affair with your new bike.
So far the UA-cam content from Europe has really been lacking in the off road area. They seem to limit themselves to a very short distance of riding on "green lanes" which really does not test their skills or the bike very well.
I look forward to seeing your content on the new Transalp as I am sure you will give it a thorough shakedown both on and off road with your usual fearlessness, insight and good humour. 🙂
Enjoy! BG
I’ve been lookin at getting one so I’m stoked to hear your review
Glad these are out there making people so happy.
Looking forward to seeing if a skeptic like myself can be turned. 😊
Awesome.
I’m on the list for one in November if all goes well. Looking forward to your future content on the machine.
Congrats. I can’t wait to see more of this. 🎉
OOOOOO! New bike day is always the best day!!! Never had a double new bike day though... NEXT LEVEL!
Pretty awesome. Congrats on new bike day!
awesome good luck on the 100k I'm rooting for you! been with your channel since maybe the 1st k
Fun video. I want to visit Bend so much! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome news! Congrats Ben and Grace!
Thanks dude!!
What a beautiful bike! My first big boy bike was the 600cc Transalp from year -95. Learnt how to ride for two months and went on 2000 mile roadtrip with it!
I'm sure you'll love yours!
I am so stoked for you and Grace!
Thanks dude
Congrats to you both on double new bike day! I'm excited to see your content on this bike, I have a DRZ400S and I have a gotten into more street riding and I have a long commute I want to buy one!
So cool, congrats! 🎉
can’t wait for the content lol i found your channel early this year from your tenere videos because that’s what i’ve been looking a buying until this trans alp was confirmed for the states
Ooooo, so curious about this bike. Congratulations to you both.
Congratulations!!!! Awesome!!!
awesome! I can't wait to see you get to 100k!
New subs here and congratulations to both of you on your new bikes! Thank you for your videos and this is how I came across to getting introduced with the Honda Transalp 750. It is my top pick right now and I hope to bring one home down the road. Safe adventures and as always, "take the less traveled path." Howdy, from the Nevada Desert!🤠
Congrats!
New bike day is one of the best days.
Enjoy!
🏍️💨
Congratulations Dork! 🎉❤
I just picked mine up a few days ago . Awesome machine congrats
Congrats, looking forward to the beat down👍
Congratulations!!!!
I’m subscribed. You are most excellent
Congrats on the TA, I will be watching for you around the neighborhood. I have a deposit on one at I5 Sports in Albany, supposed to be in end of December!! Oh and I did subscribe to Grace's channel.
Yeah I tried to get one there but they have no real info so I had to start calling around.
Congrats to both of you on NEW BIKE DAY! Can't wait to see the content you guys create with these bikes. I hope it's more than just a content bike, but I also hope it breaks that 6 figure sub mark for you!
Also, hurray for Chewy! I wonder if he could have talked them down a bit on price if he had tagged along in the Tundra?
I picked up mine today too!! I feel like I’m in good company 😊
Congrats on the new ride!!!!
OMG so jelly. Have fun and share the fun!
Congrats on the new bikes. I have a 2 year old and I can only hope to do the same when she’s of age. She’s too little now but is already a motorcycle enthusiast and future subscriber 😂.
So cool ! Love that color scheme, enjoy !
Yeah me too. So many people complaining about it but I think it's sweet.
Can. Or wait for the content on the new transalp bike!!! Looks good
Hope you love it!
I don’t think this bike is for me but a lot of people seem really excited about it.
That said, looking forward to your videos. 🙌
It's always a little funny when you guys on the Tube try to build suspense in the beginning of the video by promising to "reveal" something that you already put in the thumbnail... 😂😂
Congrats to both of you!! Many happy miles!
Can’t wait for the reviews
Congrats on the new Transalp! Anxiously waiting for content about it. I'd also love to see your take on the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 when it debuts this November. Any chance of that?
Take care!
Awesome, can’t wait for the content,it’s one of the “ maybes “ on my list 🤔
I'm so jealous! Mine was supposed to be in this week according to the dealer but I guess it just now shipped out. All i can hope for now is that comes with the Metzlers. 🤞
Be careful what you wish for, my bike has the Metzlers and they are incredibly noisy at highway speed. Hopefully they calm down after some more miles.
DOUBLE NEW BIKE DAY
Got to love new bike day!
Picked up mine 3 days ago, 150 miles so far, 60/40 road to dirt. It's between 40 and 50 degrees f here and chores get in the way but I couldn't be happier. It's not perfect for everyone but it checked all the boxes for me. The balance is forgiving to old guys like me and it's easy to pick up, easy on the back.😂😂
This looks double fun! Can’t wait to see how you like it!
Very cool. I see dueling videos between you and BigRock. He just bought one too.
Great content'!
Current dream bike. I just started on a 300 sumo this summer but I’ve been drooling over this and the 750 Hornet
Congrats!
New bike day feeling is So exciting
When they bring it out with tubeless tyres I’ll consider it, definitely sounds better than I expected- am going to get the cb500x for now
Subscribed!
I can’t wait for your review!!! And to hear your thoughts between tenere
Can’t wait to see what kind of skid plate that exhaust really looks like it will take a beating
Congrats and thank you for sharing this day with us. You plan on a ride with Ian at Big Rock Moto?
Hard to get down to him this time of year but hopefully soon.
Very nice, Ben!
Really interested in what this bike can actually do and what it should be used for. I’m leaning towards more street use like the cb500. Hope it works out to be better.
Congratulations. Hope you love it. moto junkies here will have a plethora of US based testers creating content over then next few months.
Exciting times for sure.
Oh good, now I don't have to stop by Pro Caliber and look at the Transalp. Thanks! 😀
Saw this Saturday!
I am subscribed and I liked.
Sweet! Congratulations to you both! Can’t wait to see new Dork content on this nice bike! Looks like it’s Chewy approved too! 😂
He always weighs in on my purchases.
Looking forward to some interesting videos about this bike😊
I hope your going to bring some awesome off road content !!
Congrats on the new Wee Strom made by Honda!! This bike had it all in Europe.. two up long trips off road you name it I’m glad they brought it in the States!!
I literally just watched Big Rock Moto saying the exact same thing. Bought one to make a ton of videos for us subscribers. So its a race then between you and Big Rock Moto as to who pumps out more/better content the earliest :)
More like teamwork 🤘🏻
I wanted one when I heard about it, but wasn't sure when they were gonna hit the stores in the U.S., so being somewhat impatient, I bought a V-Strom 800DE which I'm very happy with, but I'm still curious about the Transalp and how it will stack up to its competitors. I've watched some European Transalp vids, and everyone seems to sing its praises for the most part, but I'm looking forward to some home-grown vids too. I actually got to sit on one a few days ago while looking for a bike for my wife, was very surprised to see they were here already. Wasn't expecting them to be at dealerships until next year.
So I've been riding a Triumph Bonneville T120 for the last four years. I absolutely love the modern retro old school vibe, as well as the smooth torque and low end power. But living here in New England riding a naked bike makes for a shirt riding season. An ADV style bike with some wind protection is next on my bike list.
I'm very interested in your Transalp review. At first glance I see the need for a bash plate to protect the underside and some more aggressive looking tires too. It's a shame Honda didn't go with tubeless tires with offset spokes.
I'd also like to see an adjustable windscreen and heated grips.
always a great day
Congrats on the new bike mate don’t think you will go wrong with one of those, mate of mine has one great bit of kit
I have the Karoo street tyres on my tiger and am not a fan, they are the most noisy tyre I have ever used if you are cruising at 70 mph they whine so badly.
Looking to change them asap thinking of the conti attack3’s
Tried one yesterday!
Hellz yeah Ben!
Wouldn’t be that psyched to have them take a pressure washer to my brand new bike
Agree completely. Like taking a dry towel to clean dust off new dash-forever scratched.
They were trying to pressure wash Ben he just wouldn’t hold still
Hi there! Great work and just keep going... Can you please tell me (or maybe make a video) how would you compare this bike with your Africa twin? And is there any point of buying an old AT when there's Transalp now. Thanks 🙏 and greetings from Croatia
Man it is wild to see you initially poo-pooing the TransAlp when it was announced, to almost BUYING TWO OF THEM! I hope y'all have a great time in those things. Trying to convince a few friends it's a decent platform for an entry level ADV bike.
Curious to hear about your shift in thinking about the T7 and how the Transalp might be a better fit for you.
Chewie............................ cant wait to see what you think about it...........
good road bikes, thats about it, had one for two months, traded it for a used 2022 Tenere, so glad I did.
Congrats! Super stoked for the transalp content!
My wife saw that you had a new bike day, she asked if that meant I was going to have a new bike day again too! 😊
My local dealer got one of these and my first impression was that it is a road bike. Off-road didn't really enter my mind when I saw it. Biggest flaw for me was the lack of cruise control.
What, no cruise control! 🙈
Can’t wait to see what you think about it. I’m between this, a CB500X, or an ibex800.
I'm at 61k miles on my 500, so reliability has been flawless.
That's one pretty ride
New bike day! New bike day! My favorite day of any year.
Why have I not seen Grace before ? Beautiful ! Nice bikes too . 👍
Cuz you're not watching enough videos? Not her first appearance.
Im not too terrible to stare at 😉💃🏼
@@thegracefulrenegade I have to agree with that ! 😉
Congrats on the new bike. I’m on the fence between a Transalp and a Suzuki vstrom 800de or maybe a vstrom 650xt adventure. What do you think?
Congratulations, my dude! I kind of wish they would've taken a bit more risk with the styling. It really does look like a CB 500x version 2.0 - Then again, Japanese reliability vs. European styling & pricing... pick one.
Grace totally should have washed the 500x! The numbers and the stars would have aligned! Double new bike day, irregardless😂
I know I will next time
Ride the Transalp to Prudhoe Bay, AK! Also maybe do the TAT! Those video series would definitely get ya to the 100k subscriber mark
I like this!
