In 1985 Honda engineers began to design the first
prototype of the Transalp, which was the forerunner of the XL600V Transalp
launched in 1987. The first prototype Transalp still had an upper front
fender and no fairing, very similar to the XLV750 and XL600. The
VT500 500cc engine was used for the prototype.
Any corrections or more information on these motorcycles will be kindly appreciated.
