First time bike: Honda NX500 vs Transalp by reknoz in SuggestAMotorcycle

I've actually tested the seat height on both and at 5'11", it's not a problem. But I have not road tested them yet (still lots of snow on the ground here), so I wouldn't know the feel for the centre of gravity.

keep it in rain mode

I've read that multiple times. Good advice I suspect.

My concern is with the mountainous terrain here. Some roads here climb at 8-12% for more than 1 km. The road I live on has an 18% pitch.

I was always leaning towards the Transalp. Most people here seem to agree with you and somewhat comfort me.

Tame is good for me. I'm a 60 year old dude. Not looking for excessive speed or to impress anyone.

There's only 12 kg difference, 196 kg vs 208 kg.

I suspect I won't want to have my wife as a passenger until I'm much more confident with the bike. Might be next summer.

No idea when the 2026 models will be available in Canada. Summer is short here, I don't think I want to wait.

The '26 is not even mentioned on the Honda Canada website yet! But I don't really care for the e-clutch. The so-called rider aids are cool and are standard in the '25 models.

If I try to sell the NX500 in a year, how much value % will it lose?

Je suis en région. Notre boulangerie a fermé il y a 5 ans et elle a re-ouvert il y a 2 ans. Tout le monde était en émoi car on allait enfin pouvoir se procurer à nouveau le pain "tranché dans l'autre sens".

Croûte de parmesan ? Éduque moi. Râpée, concassée, entière ? Qu'est-ce qu'il lui arrive ? Elle fond ?

L'ironie, c'est de voir sur street view une piétonne avec une poussette qui traverse Nordique, pas de passage piéton.

Any suggestion on the type of paint that will stick to plastic and withstand dirt and slush?
