The manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including tax, is 1.32 million yen. The newly added color is “Pearl Deep Mud Gray,” bringing the total to two colors, along with the existing “Ross White.”
Redesigned and improved comfort
The new XL750 TRANSALP features a completely redesigned headlight, adopting a dual projector headlight, which emphasizes its adventure image. The windscreen has an intake duct in the center and has been reshaped to reduce wind drag while riding. It is made of environmentally friendly bio-engineered plastic “DURABIO™”.
The front and rear suspension settings have also been revised to achieve both comfort on paved roads and absorption on rough roads, resulting in a comfortable ride in a variety of situations.

The vehicle weight is 210kg, the seat height is 850mm, and the ground clearance is 210mm. The fuel tank capacity is 16L, and the steady state fuel economy is 34.5km/L (60km/h steady state fuel economy, with two occupants), and the WMTC mode value is 23.1km/L (Class 3-2, with one occupant).
Advanced equipment and riding modes
The XL750 TRANSALP is equipped with a 5.0-inch TFT full-color LCD multi-information display. It also comes equipped with advanced features such as a “Riding Mode” that allows you to select output characteristics, and the “Honda Smartphone Voice Control System (HSVCS)” that works in conjunction with your smartphone.
There are six riding modes available, including four preset modes (Sport, Standard, Rain, and Gravel) as well as two modes that can be customized by the user, allowing the bike to be adapted to a variety of riding situations.
Color lineup and sales plan
The newly added “Pearl Deep Mud Gray” is a stylish and calm coloring. Along with the existing “Ross White,” there are now two colors available. The planned annual sales volume in Japan is 200 units.
The XL750 TRANSALP is attracting attention from many riders as a model that can be used in a wide range of situations, from daily commuting to weekend touring and even long-distance adventures.
