For the longest time, there have been talks about Honda working on a sub-1,000cc adventure motorcycle that'll sit below its famous Africa Twin. With the likes of the KTM 790 Adventure (replaced now with the 890 Adventure), Triumph Tiger 900 and Yamaha Tenere 700 gobbling up a chunk of the middleweight adventure motorcycle pie, Honda is expected to introduce a 750-850cc adventure motorcycle to take the fight to them. Rumours suggest that Honda may be developing a new parallel-twin engine for the Transalp, which will not only help reduce costs but also give them the freedom to design and develop a slimmer and lighter machine.
