After a ton of research into middleweight adv bikes I decided the Transalp was going to be the one for me. Came to this subreddit and figured a lot of the positive posts were just owner bias. Damn was I wrong. This bike truly is such a blast ride. Or maybe I was right and I'm now owner biased. Who cares. Absolutely love this machine. Only had it for a week but from the first ride it just felt right.
Hey everyone, I'm getting rid of my cruiser and hopping on a 2025 Transalp in August and I'm beyond excited. First accessories I'm looking at purchasing are a skid plate, crash bars, and a top case.
So my question to you folks is what luggage systems do you use? Hard or soft? A combination? I'm thinking hard case top and soft on the sides.
I was looking at the Honda top box and it seems kinda flimsy for the price, have any of you used it and if so what are your thoughts?
All advice welcome, and if there were some accessories you got, or wish you had got, when you first bought your bike let me know!
