10 June 2008 - Honda's latest release of the XL700V Transalp has been reworked to appeal more than ever to those customers looking for a versatile motorcycle with all-round capabilities.

The '08 version available from Dealers nationally now offers revised Alps-inspired good looks, as well as a lighter more powerful new 680cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 8-valve V-twin engine that delivers smooth, strong performance.

Additional 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.

With a smaller front tyre and lightweight black-anodised wire-spoke wheels, the Transalp's more comfortable design suits everyone from the daily commuter to the long distance tourer.

To compliment this striking new design, Honda are also offering a huge range of accessories including matching 29 litre panniers, 45 litre top box, alarm system, high windscreen, fog lights, lower seat, heated grips and much more.

For a limited time only, the XL700V is available for the special price of $11,990 (plus on roads), making it a wonderfully affordable option for any intrepid rider looking for both a practical city commuter as well as a weekend mountain explorer.
