Considering that the engine will be the same as earlier, the overall ride experience with the updated model won’t see a drastic change. Honda XL750 Transalp is equipped with a 755cc, liquid cooled, inline two-cylinder engine that generates 91.7 hp and 75 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and has a slipper clutch. While power delivery will be the same, the newer model benefits from an updated suspension setup.
