Honda file

The 2011-2012 XL700V (RD15) was the final production Transalp before the name went into a decade-long pause. It kept the fuel-injected 680 cc V-twin, 19-inch front wheel and road-biased suspension, offering a smooth, comfortable all-rounder that was more at home on tarmac and gravel than on real trails.
