2019 Talon 35,000 Mile Report

[hondabob]

Its easy to get Real Happy when the Polaris guys break down and my Talon still runs like new. The guys fixed it up so it could be driven out on 3 wheels. I check it over at the oil changes to make sure I don’t have a break down. No major problems so far. A new steering rack at around 24,000 miles was the most expensive repair. My Turbo buddy had to run his Can-Am hard to keep up plus he is still just a child in his 40’s. Honda did a great job with this engine and trans so we can expect to see it stay in production for several years. The California boys may not be able to buy it in 2035.

Have you had factory size tires on it the whole time
I hope mine makes it that long here in East Tenn. with the mud, rocks and the skinny pedal abuse😆

Great to hear. Gives us continued confidence in Honda reliability. Had an XL75 as a kid. Only bike I ever owned that didn't make me walk out of the woods.

Thanks for posting, gives me some hope that maybe my faith in Honda will turn out to be justified, at least in the long term. The initial impression has unfortunately been marred by some inattention to detail at both factory and dealer.

Thanks for the update Hondabob.

That is definitely a “Milestone “ !

I put 10,000 miles on Tusk 30's. The power steering is weak and worse with 30's. The Honda tires work great especially when I'm play racing with the Turbo's.

We run 29 inch Libertys or Carnivores on the race car and don't have problems going anywhere

Hope my Talon has the same type of reliability and longevity as yours….
