Video Description

Many have said the new Honda Transalp 750 is a pavement oriented adventure tourer. But is it? I push the bike hard on a variety of off road terrain including single track, sand washes, rocks, hills climbs, ruts, and more. How does it compare to the Aprilia Tuareg 660, Yamaha Tenere 700, Suzuki V-Strom 800DE, and Africa Twin? #motorcycle #motorbike #transalp750 #honda 🏍TODAY’S GEAR: ⚡ Klim Krios Pro: https://imp.i104546.net/WD9gOM ⚡ Alpinestars Tech 7 Enduro DryStar Boot: https://imp.i104546.net/EKqeQ9 ⚡ MSR ADV Air Glove: https://bit.ly/3maEdtF ⚡Mosko Moto Woodsman Pant: https://bit.ly/46igTMb ⚡Mosko Moto Mesh Jersey: http://tinyurl.com/yv8rywyv ⚡Mosko Moto Surveyor Jacket: http://tinyurl.com/k2t8uhhm ⚡REV'IT!
