2009 Honda XL

This pre-owned Honda XL 700 V Transalp, also known as the Honda Transalp, is a Japanese adventure motorcycle for daily commuting, weekend rides, touring and two-up travel. The 680cc V-twin petrol engine produces 44kW and works with a five-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive and a 17-litre fuel tank. Its golden yellow and black adventure-bike finish is matched by practical Givi panniers and a top box for touring luggage, plus a windscreen, hand guards, crash bars, spoke wheels, steering damper and auxiliary spotlights for longer rides and adventure touring. This two-seater motorbike suits an experienced rider looking for a capable road-going adventure bike, commuter bike or long-distance touring motorcycle. Photos show a scratched, cloudy windscreen, fairing paint chips, scuffed seat, oxidation on engine components and worn brake discs. The 2009 Honda Transalp is at the Dome Branch in Randburg, Gauteng.
