@@vanessaronquillo8312 well the transalp is a para twin engine block with a 270 dagree crank it's pretty much what the old 750 was in terms of size and it is a honda known for the build quality and reliability. In saying that the DE is a lovely bike it's as big as the transalp but the difference the 90 dagree V twin engine. So if you have never ridden a 90 dagree vtwin of 1000 cc capacity id say its nice on the road but it can take abit of getting use to and it's a fair bit heavier and not really for off road it will do the gravel roads but soft sand and mud tracks and it's going to be like sitting on a bull and shoveing a red hot poker to the bulls nuts . How tall are you and what has been your previous bike riding experience
@@vanessaronquillo8312 well then my view is if you planing light trail riding go check out both bikes even the 800DE is a nice little punchy para twin . I'm currently pulled between the DE1050 and the crf1100 myself as I'm planning a trans continental ride from ireland to Mongolia 🇲🇳 or ireland to Africa next year The Africa twin adventure sport is €19.500 new and the strom DE1050 is €14.950 new but the Africa twin is 30kg lighter. So its just down to what turns you on about the bike . Down side on the DE is tubed tires tho
