It features a new 755cc parallel-twin engine and updated electronics, positioning it as a mid-size adventure tourer aimed at both on-road comfort and light off-road capability.

What Buyers Should Know
Honda's Reliable Twin
The XL750 Transalp uses a 755cc parallel-twin engine derived from Honda's proven platform, known for strong longevity with proper maintenance. Owners report minimal mechanical issues well past 30,000 miles.
Watch the TFT Screen
Early 2023 models had reported software glitches with the TFT display and ride modes that Honda addressed via dealer updates. Always verify the firmware has been updated before purchasing a used example.
Strong Resale Value
As a relaunched iconic nameplate in the popular mid-size adventure segment, the XL750 Transalp holds its value well against rivals like the Yamaha TÊnÊrÊ 700. Low supply in some markets keeps used prices close to new MSRP.

Used Buyer Review
"Honda's best mid-size adventure bike in years â buy one confidently."
$7,500-$10,500 usedThe XL750 Transalp arrived in 2023 essentially reinventing a nameplate Honda let gather dust for a decade, and honestly they've nailed it. The parallel twin pulls cleanly from low revs, the chassis feels planted whether you're threading commuter traffic or attacking a mountain pass, and that 21-inch front wheel actually means something on gravel rather than just looking adventurous in the brochure. It's genuinely capable off-pavement without being a handful on the daily commute. Buying used, check the electronics carefully â early examples had some DCBS (combined braking) software quirks that Honda patched via dealer update. Screen scratches are common since owners forget the protective film. The fuel tank plastic near the filler cap scuffs easily. Mechanically these are bulletproof so far, but the service history matters: valve clearances at 16,000 miles aren't cheap if neglected. Suspension is slightly soft for heavier riders and benefits from a preload tweak immediately.
