Overview

Honda XL 700 V Transalp Travel Kit

Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) Like most of Honda’s larger displacement motorcycles, the new Transalp is also fully equipped with the highly capable Honda Ignition Security System (HISS), which features a fail-safe electronic interlock to prevent the engine from being started by anything other than the machine’s two original keys, thus providing effective protection against ride-away theft. Designed to totally disable the engine at the very heart of its ignition system, the HISS system cannot be bypassed by hot-wiring the ignition or exchanging the ignition switch module.

A locking 45-litre top box in matching colors designed to carry two full-face helmets and more with security and ease.
