Honda has recently launched the new 2025 model of its famous mid-size adventure bike, named Honda Transalp XL750. When we saw its new pictures and features, it would not be wrong to say that Honda has made its fans happy again. This bike not only looks great and is powerful, but it is specially designed for those who want to enjoy riding both on road and off-road.
Whether you want to go on a long-distance trip or want to roam on rough and rocky roads, this bike can accompany you in every situation. Let me tell you about its features in detail, so that you can decide for yourself how right it can be for you.
What does Honda Transalp XL750 mean
In the last few years, the demand for mid-size adventure bikes has increased significantly in India. The Transalp XL750 has proven itself well in this segment, and its new 2025 model makes it even more special. The look, performance, and new features of this bike make it a strong option against bikes like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE, the Triumph Tiger 900, and the BMW F 900 GS.
In my opinion, this time Honda has tried to make the bike more user-friendly and better with small changes, which are useful things for the riders.
New look and style
The biggest change in the 2025 Honda Transalp XL750 is its front look. Now it gets dual LED projector headlights, which not only provide better lighting but also give the bike a strong look like Honda’s bigger bike Africa Twin.
Apart from this, the new windscreen is made of environmentally friendly bioplastic called Durabio, which is scratch-resistant and strong. This windscreen keeps the wind away from the rider, which reduces fatigue on long rides. According to me, this small change also makes the ride very comfortable.
Better suspension and riding experience
Honda has also improved the suspension in the 2025 version. The 43mm Showa USD forks at the front have been softened a bit, and the monoshock at the rear has been made a bit harder. This means that you will get a smooth ride on the road, and the bike will give good control even off-road.
The weight of this bike is now 210 kg, which is 2 kg more than before, but looking at its performance, this increase does not seem to be a problem. If you are fond of off-roading like me, then you will like this upgrade.
Talking about the engine and performance
This bike is powered by the same 755cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that produces 90.5 bhp and 75 Nm of torque. This engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Honda has slightly changed the tuning of the fuel injection, which has now improved the throttle response in the low and mid range.
Its mileage is around 23.1 km/l (according to WMTC), and the 16.9-litre fuel tank allows it to run around 370 km in one go. According to me, this is best for those who like to go on long trips.

New features and technology
The 2025 model of Honda Transalp XL750 now comes with a new 5-inch colour TFT display. This display comes with Bluetooth and also offers special features like Honda RoadSync. It has three types of layouts and a high-contrast mode, which makes it easy to read even in sunlight.
Apart from this, the bike also has new switches and a ride-by-wire system, which now gives you five different riding modes – Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and User. In my opinion, all this technology makes the ride more fun and safe.
Price and when will it come
The price of the Honda Transalp XL750 in Japan is 1.32 million yen, which is about 7.74 lakh rupees. It is about 32,000 rupees more expensive than before. Currently, the current model is available in India for Rs 10.99 lakh (ex-showroom), and it is expected that the 2025 model can be launched in India by the end of the year.
It is believed that its price can be between Rs 11.80 to 12 lakh. If you are thinking of buying it, then I would say that you must go to your nearest Honda BigWing showroom and inquire.
Competition with other bikes in India
In India, this bike competes directly with some other popular models. For example, like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE, it offers great performance and comfort. Also, it has strong competition with the Triumph Tiger 900, which is a great blend of style and power. Apart from this, the BMW F 900 GS is also a strong option in front of it, which is known for its advanced technology and design.
Its design and its special features make it a good option in this segment. Especially its eco-friendly windscreen and upgraded suspension make it a bit different and unique. According to me, this bike is perfect for those who want the right balance of style, performance, and functionality.
Overall, the 2025 Honda Transalp XL750 is a bike that offers a great combination of looks, technology, and powerful performance. Its new design, strong suspension, and advanced features make it an excellent choice in the mid-size adventure bike segment. Whether you ride on city roads or go on a trip to the mountains, this bike will give you fun. If you want to know more about it or want to take a test ride, contact the nearest Honda BigWing dealer.
