After Honda introduced the CB750 Hornet to the world at Intermot 2022, that naturally made us wonder if the XL750 Transalp would be next. Sure enough, EICMA, 2022 is the designated time and place that Honda Europe first acquainted the world with its newest creation.
It’s the revival of a much-loved name from the past, to be sure—but hey, nostalgia is a thing for a reason, right? The 2023 Honda XL750 Transalp is powered by the same 755cc, eight-valve, Unicam parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crank that’s found in the CB750 Hornet.
