Making its much-anticipated debut in the American market for 2024 is the Honda XL750 Transalp, a middleweight adventure bike equipped with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheels and ample suspension travel. Nestled between the entry-level CB500X and the liter-class Africa Twin in Honda’s current lineup, how does the Transalp fare?
To find out, we took it for a two-day, 250-mile test run amidst the vibrant autumn foliage of central Pennsylvania. Our route included the rugged Section 4 of the Backcountry Discovery Routes BDR-X PA Wilds and winding backroads around State College.
