T he XL750 Transalp is finally coming to the U.S. market for the 2024 model year. Honda says, "The new-generation Trans- alp is friendly but tough—perfect for extended touring trips, as well as the urban cut and thrust, and all points in between. It's at home slicing through a mountain pass or kicking up dust on rough dirt trails, and it adds to the formula a high- performance engine, all-new design and the equipment level that modern riders demand." The new Transalp is pow - ered by a liquid-cooled 24.5° inline two-cylinder motor with a Bosch fuel injection system. The transmission is a six-speed. There are four rid - ing modes, Sport, Standard, Rain and Gravel plus User op - tion, along with five- level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), with the Wheelie Control algorithm integrated into the mode, and three levels of Engine Brake Control. The ABS also has an off-road setting that allows the rear to be switched off. Showa suspension includes a 43mm SFF-CATM fork. Wheel travel is 7.9 inches in the front and 7.5 inches in the rear, and it rolls on 18- and 21-inch wheels. It holds 4.5 gallons of fuel and weighs 459 pounds (curb). It's offered in one color: Matte Black Metallic. Availability is October with a $9999 MSRP. CN FIRST LOOK I 2024 HONDA XL750 TRANSALP P64 2024 Honda XL750 Transalp
