10 September, 2008 - Honda's XL700V Transalp is now available in an impressive new golden metallic colour, making for a nice addition to the family of adventure touring motorcycles.

The 2008 Transalp has been redeveloped to appeal more than ever to those riders looking for a versatile motorcycle with all-round capabilities.

Powered by a new fuel injected V-twin engine that carries it down the road with impressive power and confident cruising speed, the Transalp reasserts its position as Australia's most versatile midsized motorcycle.

Features include a more compact stylish instrument panel and front cowl with over/under dual headlight. The motorcycle also sports a new catalyser chamber located below the swing-arm pivot for low centre of gravity, a slimmer, more contoured seat for easier reach, a rear carrier with pillion hand grips and more.

The highly affordable XL700V is available today at Honda Dealer's around the country for an appealing $11,990 plus on road costs.
