The 2023 Honda XL750 Transalp has been unveiled as a revival of the brand's previous Transalp model, which was first introduced in 1987 and discontinued 12 years ago. The motorcycle features a [two-cylinder engine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzuki-gsx8tt-motorcycle) to offer 90.5-horsepower at 9,500RPM and 55.3lb-ft at 7,250RPM. The electronic engine management puts customization front and center, and lets riders choose between a series of [four preset riding modes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlas-and-atlas-gt) that will adjust the engine power, traction control, engine braking and ABS accordingly.

The 2023 Honda XL750 Transalp is built with a five-inch [color instrument display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-square-x125-scooter) to provide riders with an intuitive way to control the ride and keep an eye on functionality. No word has been made regarding price as of yet.
