The Honda Transalp is a fantastic touring machine, but it’s not the kind of bike that many would imagine it to be. Rishaad Mody tells you more.

    I clearly had a bit of brain fog in the heat when I said no direct rivals in India. The recently launched V-Storm 800 DE is this bike’s closest rival and we’ll have a review of it out on the 24th of May.
  • @wanderlust0120
    I first read it as 'TranSlap' and thought it was Honda suddenly going against woke people
  • I follow Autocar India mainly because of Rishaad. He delivers perfect review for any automobile
  • @diaz5621
    You are so good in reveiwing any God damn bike..so comprehensively.kudos👌👍👍👍
  • It's good to see Honda has somewhat started to give bikes for review. I feel the bike is well priced but the spoked tube wheels are a deal breaker (same goes for the vstrom 800 DE) and Those accessories are just too expensive mainly the centre stand🥲
  • @nirmalraj8864
    Basically the summary laysout the Honda story in India. They overestimate the premiumn(m)ess of their brand and prices it out of contention. Look at NX500 or CB 600 twins.
  • @7rahe13
    Why do you say this bike does not have any direct rivals in India? What about the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE? Even, internationally these 2 bikes are pitted against each other. I think you should do a comparo here. Both of them are comparable in terms of form and function and even priced close to each other.
  • @saquibkhan3385
    At what speed it starts heavy vibrations? Is it comfortable for long rides and compared to Benelli trk 502x is it better?
  • @aditya78
    Detailed yet very crisp review👍🏻
  • @praj_l
    Weird question - Are painted number plates on the windshield legal ? If it is.. what are the cons
  • @seethemovingart
    bang on: its true selling point overseas is its value, which is not the case here, even for the starters.
  • @Alex-ue2jf
    Good Video thank you. I really think its really comfortsble and a lovley Engine. But also sad that I had Most Same Fun on a Himalayan 450

    8:14 It is a law in certain countries that ABS needs to turn back on when we restart the ignition, not the company fault.
