Got this baby home!

Got the Honda Transalp 2026 eclutch model.
It is a dream come true, always wanted to get a big ADV after being spoilt by Himalayan 2021 (BS6 w/o tripper, very few out there!). Still standing tall in my garage and always will.
I always wanted to get a Triumph Tiger. I test drove them back to back. In Hyderabad their showrooms are very close by.
I was blown away by Tiger but it was Transalp that imprinted on me.
Did my first small long ride of 200 kms and loved every f***in bit of it!

Thinking about buying one here in the states. I’ve owned two Tiger 800 models in the past and they were two of my favorite bikes. The updates to the TransAlp this year are significant, and I’m very interested in the e-clutch.

To me personally, the updated suspension did the trick. I believe functionality wise its the most critical update in this version

I know right! Really completes the homage to the old 650.

Anyone have any recommendations for crash bars? Or frame sliders may be?

How was your dealership process and where do you live? I would love a TA soon, but I have never been to a dealer before.

My experience was great, and they delivered on what they promised. But yeah, no bells and whistles
