MIVV for Transalp
Italian exhaust manufacturer MIVV first launched products for the Honda Transalp back in the year 2000 - it first went on sale in 1987 and was years ahead of its time . Honda gave it 20 years , finally withdrawing it as the XL700ABS in 2007 . However , the new XL750 looks set to be a staple for many years to come - the market has changed dramatically in the past decade , and so too have the roads and traffic conditions . The concept of the " crossover " is now a well-established and growing solution , though largely because such platforms make excellent urban and long-distance highway machines these days . Available in several finishes , MIVV now has alternative ( homologated ) options for those looking to change-out the stock XL750 exhaust including the two Dakar and Oval exhaust versions seen here .
Inox
The latest iteration of the Transalp ( the 6th ?) sees it going from V-twin to parallel twin with 21 " front and 18 " rear . Honda designed the lively , almost ' sporty ' 755 cc engine for two comeback brands - the Hornet CB750 and the Transalp Gl750 . MIVV ' s choice of slip-ons both deliver reduced weight , improved performance , convincing sound and winning aesthetics . The DAKAR is offered in two finishes with high positioning , the OVAL has a choice of three finishes and standard positioning - both work with side cases . Optional accessories include two model-specific carbon fibre heat shield designs . Plus , there is a stainless steel de-cat pipe option for competition use . The DAKAR is a project deriving from the experience acquired by the brand in the field of rally competitions . It is a simple and sturdy option , making it suitable for demanding off-road use . The INOX version uses natural 304 steel with the addition of a special " pearled " effect , which makes it highly resistant '. The BLACK is created by painting the stainless steel body using a special ceramicbased process . The DAKAR delivers maximum power of + 2.00 hp at 9,400 rpm ; max torque of + 2.00 Nm at 7,300 rpm and it weighs in at -1.10 kg . The OVAL is a muffler with great attention to detail and capable of adapting to different types of motorcycles , representing the best compromise between design and performance . In the case of the TRANSALP , it adopts the standard positioning , not interfering with the possible assembly of side cases .
