How the EPA is Ruining Motorcycles - Honda Transalp Review

"I dont mean to belittle 800 bucks, that's a week's groceries these days." 😂I laughed, but that hurt a little.

"Hey!!! Has that ECU been modified?!!" - No cop ever.

This isn't just motorcycles. This is the entire motor vehicle industry as a whole.

My emotional despair at learning that Ryan is disappointed by my most anticipated bike is tempered by the fact that I can't afford to buy one. And that I don't have enough skill to be disappointed by it anyway.

Just as I was thinking "so, an ECU flash will fix it?" Ryan confirms it 😁

Thank you for making the ads entertaining. The Ducati joke at the end was worth the price of admission.

I talked to my old KLR about this and she had never heard of the EPA. Great video as usual.

Well, being a Transalp 600 owner in Europe I can say one thing. I truly DO appreciate the effort you put in getting a (I think) 1988 model. Great bike, I can tell you that!!

When I come to power I'm putting Ryan in charge of the entire DOT.

1:45 Don't forget to hook up your airbag Ryan :')

Amazing to see the Transalp get some recognition. I've been riding my 93' all around Europe and it's been an absolute Blast. An amazing middle of everything you could wish for in a touring bike.

I have a 2024 Transalp , Love it ! I added a Veridian cruise control for just over 300 bucks ! Love it ! I have changed the air filter it's a little bit of a pain, but not as bad as it sounds, you can do it with just removing the two side panels and the two upper fuel tank bolts , no need to take the dash panels out . The T-7 has virtually the same oil sump you just can't see it because it comes with a skid plate and only has about an inch more clearance on stock models . So buy a skid plate and you won't need to sit on a 2x6 for a seat like the T-7, 😂 Love the TransAlp runs great , rides great , Thanks Ryan for the info

Bike tests would be so much better if they discussed how easy/difficult /time consuming basic maintenance tasks will be. Bravo for mentioning the air filter and showing the (as yet intact) sump.

Oh, a fortnine upload. Let me stop everything and watch it real quick.

Yup, that's the same reason the ZX4RR is so neutered. Feels great now that I'm able to actually use full throttle throughout the rev range with an ecu flash thanks to TST.

I’m so glad to see Ryan again! He’s half the half the reason I watch this channel.

"I don't mean to belittle $800, that's a weeks groceries these days"..... I know ur Canadian but why u gotta go for the throat like that man.

So close to getting a motor cycle! Thanks Fortnine for the quality. This channel is every level fun.

Every time, again and again I'm stumped at how good the writing is on these videos, well done

Amazing as always...we're ready for the V-Strom 800!
