The Honda Transalp 600 | The Indestructible Workhorse that’ll take you anywhere

I spend the day with one of the 1980s most dependable, rugged motorcycles to find out if it’s possible to buy a genuine do it all, go anywhere motorcycle for €1,500? The bike in question; the mighty Honda Transalp 600. 35 years on, does the Transalp- one of the ultimate utilitarian motorcycles still make sense, and is it a good proposition in 2022? _________________ The Transalp in the video: 1990 Honda Transalp XL600V. A Spanish bike with at least 100,000km on the clock and it’s spent its whole life on the island of Tenerife, to the best of my knowledge. _________________ Partners: QUADLOCK: https://www.quadlockcase.net My Usual Bonneville Quad Lock setup: Wireless Charger, Vibration Dampener, iPhone Case, USB Charger SIZZAPP: https://sizzapp.com Motorcycle tracker and rider's mate XLMOTO: https://bit.ly/3q34JDM Your one stop motorcycle shop- from biking gear to tools and everything else HOOD JEANS https://www.hoodjeans.co.uk The highest safety rated motorcycle jeans __________________ Gear for the Day: Daytona Cruiser Helmet Broger Moto Florida Jacket Broger Moto Florida Jeans Ride and Sons Worker Gloves (Available from XLMOTO: https://bit.ly/3q34JDM) TCX X-Blend Boots __________________ Timeline: 0:00: Intro and Walk Around 5:54: Off Roading Feedback and Ride Reviews -12:19: Why Aren't There Any in the UK and USA, and the Competition 18:21: Final Ride and Wrap Up __________________ Locations: Tenerife, Spain Off Roading: Abades and tracks of the TF28 Road sections: The TF28 road __________________ My personal bike: 2010 Triumph Bonneville 865cc (the base version) __________________ Buy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fdobbs __________________ Find me on: INSTAGRAM:   / dob.bs   GEAR AND EVERYTHING ELSE: https://www.freddiedobbs.com PODCAST: Freedom Machines With Freddie Dobbs FACEBOOK:   / freddiecmdobbs   __________________ Filming and editing: @monikameraki (Instagram) __________________ Music: Torch: Sunset Road Thompson Town Flowers: Fresh From Yard __________________ #hondatransalp #transalp #adventuremotorcycle *Some affiliate links may be used.
