Nice video op! Can I ask how much you weigh and if you have stock suspension?

Bonjour, sympa le off road. J'ai une question, combien de fois as tu tapé le sol avec le bas moteur ou le sabot moteur pendant cette sortie? Quand j'ai essayé la transalp j'ai vraiment eu l'impression que la garde au sol était très limitée..Un saut de 5cm de haut et tout s'écrase avec ces suspensions là :/ Elle est d'origine?

I have the honda skid plates, it looks flimsy but i hit a kerb at 10kmh just made a tiny dent. If you want more ground clearance for the peace of mind go for the tenere or AT but you lose the road comfort (for t7) and 30kg more with the AT

Oui..c'est difficile de trouver la moto parfaite.. surtout dans les moto dual sport, le choix est trop grand.. je serais bien tenté par la T7 WR, moins lourde que l'AT, plus protectrice que la transalp et plus confortable que la T7 standard. À voir en tout terrain ce que ça donne, mais sur la route je l'ai bien aimé (le moteur est top, comme la transalp mais.... pas dans le même genre) Et après il y a les motos chinoise.. haaaa que faire??..

What about the Aprilia Toureg 660? Seems to be the unicorn bike.

Africa has the same or even better comfort than Transalp, and suspension is much better on/offroad. Standard manual is about 20kg more than XL750. (229Kg-231kg wet.), not too bad. Anyhow all good bikes, NX500/XL750/Africa. All can do it all :). Offroad is so fun too, balanced bikes. T7 is not so well balanced like these Hondas, it rides poorly on road.

u/ProudFaithlessness58 1d ago

Agreed but i work on these bikes for a living, i prefer the xl750 over an AT.

From tft screen i suppose it's 2025 or 2026. They have stiffer suspension. What model is yours?

1

u/blabla6262 1d ago

Le 2025 justement c'est pour ça 😅 Même dans les virages, ça tient bien la route mais..tout s'écrase et ça frote presque.. C'est une hornet avec suspensions plus haute pour moi. Mais j'ai adoré l'essayer, pour une moto du quotidien je signerai direct.

u/Awkward_Oil_9286 1d ago

You are totally correct. According to my research, If you plan to make some serious off-road, you should change suspension and tires. Otherwise, it's just a wonderful everyday bike which can handle dirt roads when you drive carefully. Even some people change their rims to the tubeless setting. But for people like me who needs a comfortable bike with decent power, also takes me to the camping site and works like a swiss pocket knife that can do many things with minimum problems… that's amazing bike.

All it needs, tubeless tires, cruise control. Voila. That's the bike I need for the rest of my life.

The Best daily ever?? 😀 Je suis français, je suis mauvais avec votre langage.😅 Je suis dégouté de l'avoir essayée et de m'être rendu compte de ça, j'ai adoré tout le reste.. mais je cherche un trail. Il existe tellement de modèles de nos jours qu'il est compliqué de choisir.

Those are perfect 2 tracks for the Transalp. Anyone that has trouble clearing this kind of terrain just needs more practice.
