Honda's 755cc XL750 Transalp pairs a 90.5-hp parallel-twin with a manageable 459-lb curb weight, making it equally at home commuting and off-road. Starting at $10,199, it offers a 33.7-inch seat height (32.6 inches with the low option), keeping it approachable for a wide range of riders.
Mud or asphalt, 459 pounds is a number you can actually work with. With 7.9 inches of front travel and 7.5 in the rear from the Showa suspension, plus 8.2 inches of ground clearance, ruts on a forest trail won't faze it. I'd point this thing straight at the dirt without hesitation — a bike that gives you both pavement convenience and dirt-road fun.

Glad the seat height is adjustable, I worry about reach
Poor reach raises tip-over risk, good point to raise
459 lbs is on the lighter side for this class
Lighter sure, but rivals seem to have more power
Just over $10k feels a bit pricier than I expected
Factoring in the equipment, the price seems reasonable
