Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from intermediate level upward who want a manageable, non-intimidating middleweight adventure bike.
PurposeBest suited to mixed on-road and light off-road touring, commuting, and long-distance travel rather than outright speed or serious dirt work.
Rider FitThe 841 mm seat height and 218 kg dry weight make it approachable for average-to-tall riders but a bit tall and heavy for shorter or less experienced riders to handle off-road.
CharacterA friendly, torquey V-twin adventure tourer that prioritizes comfort, versatility, and easy manageability over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking sportbike-level acceleration, hardcore technical off-roading, or a lightweight trail bike.

2010 Honda XL700V Transalp ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 841mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2010 Honda XL700V Transalp ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
