transalp is 755 not 775 ccm 👌🏻 yea i would choose also vstrom probably well transalp have shorterwheelbase=morenimble and is lighter , and despite have 3 nm less at lil higher rpm lower weight make it would have porbably slightly better elasticity however it would also depend on gearing if comapre gear to gear but rpm to rpm regardless of gear than transalp shpulb be slightly more elastic thanks lower weight ., in max acceleration test transalp 100% kick ass vstrom cos have better top end and is lighter but engine characteristic itself so lil more torq at lil lower rpm have better vstrom for touring aplication 👌🏻 also more like lower front fairing to seat hight in vstrom 👌🏻 so yea only from technical spec point of view and picture like for me i also choose vstrom however diffrenc isint big and for some people offcorse transalp may fit better 😁👌🏻

Thanks for your dynamic and very clear review - at this stage of press release. It will be good to ree your review once you've been able to ride both!!

[@lynnecale4877]

Love your detailed interesting reviews. Not sure which I'd choose there's a lot to say about both as you point out.👍

Two nice bikes here, it's difficult to pick between them, but I think I agree with you on what I see here I'd go for the Suzuki although I'd like to try them first as I've always liked my Honda's .Thanks motochatter, another great video.

I love the styling of the Honda, paying homage to the original Transalp of 1986, plus it's 22kg lighter. But the Suzuki's fuel capacity and range would be an important consideration to some people, depending on where they live & what trips they'll be doing. So, styling, weight and fuel range aside, I guess it comes down to price. But a big thumbs down to Honda to assume that 16 litres of fuel capacity is adequate. A thumbs up to Suzuki for offering a taller seat option. Honda, we want more fuel capacity, ya hear me? Suzuki, please consider trimming 22kg off the next version. Thank you kindly.

Accessories package wise, Honda has 5 option, + full pack than Suzuki, however.

For me the winner will be the cheaper...
