I am aware Veridian is Canadian. Please keep telling me in the comments though!

Lord knows I will never have a use for a proper ADV but I sure do love watching them be built and day dreaming.

Loving the direction of this project! Seeing a modern Transalp get the "Warhorse" treatment is a great concept—it definitely has that untapped potential to be the bike Honda should have built.<br>The HP Corser highmount and white crash bars are already making it look the part. Can't wait to see how it turns out once you get the suspension sorted!<br>— dirtbike journal

I met a German guy riding a lap of South America. He said his biggest regret was not getting the lightest bike he could find, a Honda 125 instead of being stuck for hours on dirt roads 3 times on his lap unable to lift his overweight Africa twin. That’s first hand experience at work 🤷♂️

I’m about to pull the trigger on a Transalp, and honestly, your videos on it are amazing and give me that tingly special feeling of an adventure that’s about to be realized.

It was only a matter of time, before people realized what that bike is capable of.

Seat Concepts seats are great, but IMO the OEM Comfort Seat is 10/10 the absolute best choice for the bike. Like $180 from the dealer and I've ridden 8 hour days on it with zero issues.

After seeing Adam's video where the title was I believe "Defeated" I thought the Transalp went down the drain for you. I was really upset after that video. I bought my 24 TA based on your video and I absolutely love it. I'm really happy that the Transalp is back! ..... There is only one task is left, change Adam's mind about the new Transalp 😂.

My TA750 has now ~ 25k kms on the clock.<br>It's a great bike, I fitted some things like crashbars, bash plate, different screen, higher seat and yeah..it's working well in every condition.<br>I spend most of my time on tarmac and do not need an offroad monster. When travelling alone, you should always be aware of the risk, when going offroad in a remote area.<br>So..I don't treat the TA like a rally machine. It's the perfect bike for exploring different countries and you don't have to care about the condition of the road.<br>It works well on the highway, in the twisties, on alpine passes, gravel roads and forestry roads, that have seen better days.<br>Best bike I ever had so far!

Transalp is great platform, with the same weaknesses as all modern bikes including the AT (all need new pipe and ecu flash). Actually think the pipe is mounted too low and think they should have made the front look more like the AT, since they own the design. <br>But man I love the Africa Twin as it is now. Have standard manual '25, and while had doubts about weight, price, abundance of electronics. It's been consistently the best riding experience and such an amazing reliable bike. It's my all rounder now and inspired to push further in all riding directions, so happy for its existence even if an evolution.
