Honda, the Japanese giant, has brought out a new iteration of one of its most popular middle-weight adventure motorcycles. This is in the form of a new special edition for the XL750 Transalp SP. Based on the 2025 version of the machine, the motorcycle comes with a conventional manual transmission. It also gets a few aesthetic changes, which give it a rather retro appeal, deep-rooted in its history.
The changes on the SP are primarily cosmetic, visible in the form of a retro-style vinyl decal kit that features touches of red and purple against a white background, along with an SP logo positioned at the bottom of the 16.9-litre fuel tank. The spoked wheels boast a golden outer rim, with the unique design extending down to the large front mudguard.

In addition, it comes equipped with a variety of official Honda accessories, such as chunky engine guards, crash bars protecting the front of the motorcycle, and a front bash plate designed to protect the 755cc parallel-twin-cylinder engine on rugged terrain. This unit puts out 90 hp of power and 75 Nm of torque at the peak of its performance. It works with a six-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch with a bi-directional quickshifter.
The XL750 Transalp is fitted with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels. This adventure touring motorcycle features Showa 43mm SFF-CA upside-down (USD) front forks and a rear shock that works through the Pro-Link system. The suspension's compression and rebound damping have been enhanced for improved control on rough terrain. Stopping power is provided by dual 310mm wave discs with hydraulic 2-piston calipers at the front and a single 256mm disc with a 1-pot caliper at the rear, with dual-channel ABS as standard equipment.
