2023 Honda Transalp launched
- Thread starter team duvet
- Start date
The Transalp arrived at 3.30 pm on Tuesday and yesterday I did 230 very wet miles down to Portland Bill and thereabouts....gave me some ideas of what I may need to add (handguards and a rear rack might be high on that list, and intriguingly none of the old Givi Tanklock bags officially fit the required flange - itself different from the one I just took off my Hornet! Supposedly to do with the Africa Twin-like tank shape).Wise words….I suspect my 65 kgs weight will not overwhelm the suspension
Even running in it has lots of ooomph (like my Hornet) and a great sitting position (for me).
First service booked for week after next.
I bought the givi flange as I already have 4 Givi bags but in the end as I had specced the bike with everything apart from panniers and top box (got top loading metal ones at a steel) I got the dealer to fit the Honda tank bag and to be honest I love it it seems to be just enough for me
the GIvi bags do fit and work without issue, I have fitted them on mine,

Interesting…seems like I was misinformed/got the wrong end of the stick
. Now if that flange is surplus to your requirements….

You have obviously found the 'Goldilocks' solution!
As well as an e-clutch option for 2026, Honda have snuck in an SP version for the UK that was previously only available in Spain and Portugal.
Nothing radical , but a fancy graphics kit, gold rims. Upper and lower crash bars and a hefty sump guard.
Still no tubeless or cruise .

That's still a few more years before they realize it's not still 2010.
I’ve seen a couple of tubeless wheel options but they’ve required various degrees of pissing about with hub bits and pieces, I’d rather find a complete set that I just put brakes and tyres on and fit. In the meantime i can cope fine, but one of my other bikes is 29 years old and has tubeless tyres, with spokes, for mixed riding. Come on Honda!
I do like that, not sure what its got other than a sticker kit but it does look very nice

Even some Facebook experts like the SP 
Many fans on here .
I’m not one to be honest . Rode one for the day in Gran Canaris and although it’s not slow , most the power is at the top of the rev range .
Riding in the amazing playground of Gran Canaria, on some of the gnarlier mountain roads I found I was always in the wrong gear . Third was too high but second too low .
Following year had a Vstrom 800 DE for the whole week and on the same roads you could leave it in third due to the huge midrange grunt .
Everybody wanted to try the Transalp as it was brand new in Dec 23 but everybody who had it for the day had same opinion as me .
The Vstrom 800 is in a different league despite the power stats on paper being more impressive for the Honda .
Don’t buy a Transalp without also trying the Vstrom !
