RIDE REVIEW I 2024 HONDA XL750R TRANSALP P90 5'9" frame, even when wearing an ADV helmet with a visor at- tached. The brakes are an- other area where Honda always seems to leave the competition behind—they're simply the best. Smooth and precise, with lots of feel and feedback, you always know exactly how much or how little to apply. All in all, the 2024 XL750R Transalp is an amazing machine. I'm not sure why Honda didn't include cruise control (they'll certainly hear about that from customers and dealers alike), and if you like riding aggressively off-road, you'll need to spend some money on the suspension, but at an MSRP of just $9999, it's an incredible value. It offers an unmatched electronics suite packed with ride modes and ad - justability, a quickshifter, all LED lighting, and it's ready to accept a whole host of available acces - sories—plus, it's a Honda, so you know it's going to be reliable and ready every time you're ready to ride. CN The Transalp's basic suspension will be suitable for most buyers. 2024 HONDA XL750 TRANSALP ($9999) ENGINE TYPE: 24.5° inline-2-cylinder 4-stroke DISPLACEMENT: 755cc COOLING SYSTEM: Liquid VALVETRAIN: OHC Unicam, 4 valves per cylinder, 35.5mm intake valves, 29mm exhaust valves BORE X STROKE: 87.0 x 63.5mm COMPRESSION RATIO: 11.0:1 INDUCTION: PGM-FI; 46mm throttle bodies IGNITION: Fully transistorized ELECTRONICS: Rider Mode, Engine Mode, Engine Brake Mode, Torque Control w/ Wheelie Control, ABS on/off (rear only) TRANSMISSION: Manual, 6-speed CLUTCH: Wet, multi-disc FINAL DRIVE: 16T/45T chain-driven FRAME: Steel diamond mainframe & subframe FRONT SUSPENSION: 43mm Showa SFF-CATM telescopic inverted fork w/ spring-preload adj.
