Overview[edit | edit source]
Honda XL 400V Transalp
1996 - Yeah sure, a 'tiny' Transalp. This is the model that
Honda sells in Japan. Why not a 600cc ? That has to do with the driver license
categories. In Japan you can get a license for a 'small bike' up to 400cc, or
one for a 'big bike' over 400cc. Kind of the same as in The Netherlands and
other parts of Europe. And because it is easier (and cheaper) to get your small
bike license Honda sells a 400cc Transalp. Just because that model has more
market potential than a 600cc model.
Except for the engine the Transalp 400cc is identical to
the XL600V. The mileage is better (33km/l @60kmph), power (37hp @ 8500rpm) and
torque (3.5kgm @ 6500rpm) are less compared to the TA600. Weight (183kg) is the
same. Pay attention to the cooling design of the engine. Bit different from the
600.
