Correction! Horsepower numbers were misquoted in this episode. Peak power for US models is 82.2 @ 8,500 rpm. Read more about the Transalp on Common Tread: rvz.la/480lvqW Check out all of the newest motorcycle gear available: rvz.la/3uNyMEV

THE ABSOLUTE BEST REVIEWER IN THE INDUSTRY. 👍 TO MAKE SURE REVZILLA KNOWS.

While watching this episode of Daily Rider once Zack backed it in, I said to my wife, this will be the #1 bike on the leader board. At the end of the episode I turned to my wife and said, That's my next bike. Thanks Zack for an awesome review.
-
I knew you'd like it! It has definitely exceeded my expectations as well.
-
Zach is the best bike reviewer in the game! Thanks Zach 👍🏼
-
Gotta hand it to the Japanese bike manufacturers! Cutting edge tech, great prices, broad market reach! Great review, Zach!
-
I thought Suzuki was going to sweep the podium this year but here comes Honda with a photo finish!
-
My headline: "Honda Transalp: Surprisingly Un-Honda in every exciting way, and Honda in every way it should be." Great video.
-
This might be one of my favorite series on YouTube. I have learned so much about motorcycles, even ones I have almost no interest in. Zach is a great host and you can tell he loves riding and motorcycles. I just wish I could pop wheelies like him.
-
I like that Zack's review is focused on the actual rider experience and not on the specs. Too many keyboard warriors obsess over specs and ignore the overall character of the bike.

After owning one since release in the states it is definitely an amazing machine. Here's a few notes from an owners perspective; The stock dunlop tires are deceptively good on pavement but useless off-road. The 21 inch front wheel does not hinder the on road performance as it takes to a line with ease. Air box is in a tricky spot but fuses,ecu and battery are right under the seat. You 100% need a skid plate for off-road duty as the oil pan sticks under like a shark fin. Rear rack is worth its weight in gold. Windscreen is too short for riders 6ft 3 and over such as myself. So far it's been an awesome bike with zero issues, I look forward to many more miles in the saddle.

Watching my Bro, Zack swooning over this bike makes me very interested in the Transalp

You meet the nicest people on a Honda.

Zach, curious if this was the easiest bike for you to rank on the daily rider leaderboard? I've watched almost every episode in the series and it looks like your enthusiasm would suggest it was. Thanks for your review! Your video also confirms I made the right decision buying my TA. 👍

It's interesting how polarizing this bike is. Some reviews are super effusive and really seem to love the bike, others are extremely meh. I personally am not surprised Zack loved it and it dominated the Daily Rider leaderboard. It was almost designed to dominate these rankings. People just get hung up that the T7 is supposedly better in the dirt. But who cares? This bike is fine in the dirt and it's a fantastic street bike! Well done Honda.

Can’t agree more Zac, I’m into my second month of ownership with my white, Aussie spec bike. I’ve had every version of the Transalp, 600,650 and 700. This is by far the best yet and as a short legged person is eminently approachable on all fronts. I just did 100km with my wife on the back, first time with her as a pillion on this one and she loved it. Plenty of comfort, room to move, heaps of power and no issues with height. This will be in my garage for many years. Great review.

Zack, This is a home run, both for Honda as an affordable offering in a competitive market, AND for you as an objective, informed, entertaining review rider. Although it's no surprise, by virtue of your years, now, of Daily Rider, it's admirable that you didn't sit on the fence in picking this as the "winner,"and, rather, simply, adeptly qualified your decision with facts. Bravo, my friend. Bravo.

This kind of videos show what specs and most articles miss, wich is how a bike feels nad make you feel riding them. Maybe a bike on paper is underwhelming but when you really rude it in different situations it show's you it's real character and how well or not it is set up as a whole
-
Finally, Honda made a top of the line Not boring but capable bike...well done Honda 🎉
-
I figured this would easily be top of the leader board after owning one for 6 months now. It's just so competent, and un-Honda-like in a lot of ways that it's damn near a perfect bike for most people.
