Heavy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The more I ride mine the more I like it. Every bike has its shortfalls. You either learn to live with it or learn to fix it. My Veridian cruise control should arrive soon so that'll be one thing crossed off the list. Don't know of I'd even bother with getting an ECU flash, if one comes available. I don't think it runs that bad. 4 There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Actually, I thought the worst part of that video was the amount of time Ryan spent talking about the WhateverCam 360. 1 There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I am still floored that factory CC isn't an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I mentioned though, the Veridian system is affordable. There's other, more upscale, CC options too. Like most bikes, there's lots of areas of the bike to upgrade/modify to make it suit you. I bet there's a lot of people that buy bikes and just ride them as they are from the dealership ... until they start hanging out on forums and "learn" about all the bike's shortcomings. 😁 1 There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time.

Doubt there are alot of people that buy motorcycles and keep them dealership stock for long, and that was occurring long long before forums. I really like the Trans Alp overall and it should be a homerun for Honda, sounds like you are liking your choice of machine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the Transalp but any modern bike of any displacement with throttle by wire. Why not include it as a standard feature like ride modes? Some riders may never use them but having them available sure is a nice feature for those who do use them. Its great that a company like Veridian is offering a relatively low cost option, post up your thoughts after you have it installed and used it for awhile. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theory is that Honda is trying not to step on Africa Twin sales by equipping the Transalp too well. Basic suspension, no CC, no IMU, etc. 2 There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 900 GT was the first bike I've owned with cruise, and I loved it. The lack of cruise was, almost, a deal breaker for me with theTransalp. I use cruise all the time in any vehicle and I'm looking forward to getting my Veridian kit. 3 There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time.
