The Honda Transalp – the XL750 adventure bike in Zurich

The XL750 Transalp has 755 cc and produces 68 kW. The restricted version delivers 35 kW.

A full category A. With the 35 kW version you can ride it on A restricted. The route to the licence is set out on our Swiss motorcycle licence page.

Recently the 2025 and 2026 model years. What is available right now is shown in the stock list on this page.

Recent stock has included Tricolor, Swiss Peaks and Black. The current choice is shown in the list.

It is built as an adventure bike and copes well on gravel and forest tracks. Real off-road work comes down to riding technique – we run courses for that, see below.

Prices are shown with every machine in the list on this page – they come straight from our own inventory and are therefore always current.

An electronically operated clutch. You still shift with your foot, but need no clutch lever for pulling away, stopping or changing gear.

We stock it with E-Clutch. That is not the same as DCT: the E-Clutch only takes over the clutch, you still choose the gears yourself.

Yes, with the 35 kW version. It is listed in our 35 kW stock and is the same machine with adjusted output.

Ask us about it – we tell you what is possible for your machine and what it costs before you buy.

Yes, at any time. The lever stays fitted and works normally – there is no mode to switch.

Nothing more involved than a normal clutch. At a service we additionally check the software version and calibration.

Pre-owned machines are available on request and change constantly. If the list shows none, there is none in stock – tell us what you are looking for and we will get in touch as soon as one arrives.

A machine from our demonstrator fleet: little used, technically as new, usually with the balance of the warranty – and cheaper than a new bike.

A complete service record, chain and sprockets, brakes, tyre age, forks and shock – and on the E-Clutch version the current software status.

Yes, including the older XL600V, XL650V and XL700V. We appraise the machine here and credit it against the purchase.

Yes, for a contribution towards costs which is credited against a purchase. Please book in advance so the machine you want is ready.

That depends on the age and mileage of the individual bike. Demonstrators often still carry the factory warranty – we tell you exactly what applies.

From the genuine range there is a top box, side panniers and the matching rack as one coordinated system. We fit it and check the permitted payload.

That depends on your build. Too tall buffets the air and gets louder than too low – so we try it on the machine before you buy.

As soon as you ride gravel or manoeuvre the machine often: yes. A tip-over while stationary costs many times their price without them.

Only with valid Swiss type approval. We fit those systems exclusively and handle the paperwork.

Yes – through a different seat and through the suspension. Sit on the machine here and we will see what is needed.

No, as long as approved parts are fitted properly. We select on exactly that basis and document the work.

Yes. As a Honda Dream Dealer we look after every Honda, wherever it was bought.

That follows mileage and time. Tell us where you stand and we will name the next due date and what it covers.

Yes. We inspect the machine, put right anything that would be flagged and, if you wish, present it for the test.

It depends how much gravel you ride. Mostly tarmac: touring tyre. Regular unmade roads: a coarser pattern. We advise by your use.

The common wear parts are in stock, everything else usually within a few days. Let us know in advance and it will be ready.

Yes. We store the machine, look after it through the winter and hand it back ready to ride in spring.

Yes, gladly. We have these machines in the workshop regularly – servicing, wear parts, roadworthiness preparation.

Wear parts and many replacement parts, yes. Give us the year and frame number and we will confirm availability before the machine comes in.

Usually yes – the old Transalp models were built to last. We look at the machine and tell you honestly what is worth doing.

The current XL750 Transalp with 755 cc and 68 kW: the same adventure bike idea with more power and modern electronics.

Yes. We appraise it here and credit it against an XL750.

Only when one comes in – they have become rare. Register your interest and we will contact you as soon as one is available.

Yes, that is what it was built for. With a pannier system and a taller screen it becomes a full touring machine.

Yes. Watch the permitted payload once panniers and luggage come into it – we work that out with you.

Very much so – the high seat gives a clear view, and with a top box and heated grips it works day to day. With E-Clutch city traffic is easier still.

Seat height can be adjusted through the seat and the suspension. Sit on it here and we will see straight away what is needed.

Gravel and unmade roads without trouble. With a sump guard, crash bars and coarser tyres more is possible – technique remains decisive.

With the 35 kW version yes – and you keep the same machine once the licence opens up.

The Africa Twin is bigger and more powerful, the Transalp lighter and cheaper. For most touring the Transalp is entirely enough.

A machine for long distances with an upright position, generous suspension travel and off-road ability – without being a pure off-road bike. Exactly the class the Transalp covers.

The Hornet for everyday riding and corners without luggage, the Transalp for wind protection, travel and long stages.

With E-Clutch – no clutch lever, gear selection stays with you. That is not the same as a full automatic.

Yes. Tell us in advance which ones you would like to see and they will be ready when you visit.

That is exactly what we are here for. Tell us how and where you ride – the right machine usually follows from that.

With us at Industriestrasse 6, 8604 Volketswil, around 15 minutes from Zurich. Parking is available.

Anything in stock can be registered and handed over at short notice. For an order it depends on version and colour – we give you a firm date.

Yes. Top box, panniers, taller screen, crash bars and heated grips go on beforehand so the machine is finished when you collect it.

Ask us about it – we will go through the options with you at an appointment.

Get in touch by phone or through the form – we will hold the machine you want.

From across the canton of Zurich – Zurich Oberland, Glatt valley, Furt valley, Winterthur, Uster, Dübendorf, Wallisellen, Wetzikon – and from neighbouring Thurgau, Aargau, Schwyz, Zug and St. Gallen.
