Still runs like new. The valve adjustment was ok at 38,500 miles. I did adjust 3 exhaust valves, two were still in spec and one was out of spec by .001" My buddy at the Honda shop has done lots of Honda Talon and Pioneer 1000 valve checks and has never had to adjust a valve. The Honda quality is amazing. The Talon is Turbo ready so the large cooling system and oil jets under the pistons make the non turbo Talon last a lot longer. It looks like 70,000 miles without any major repair may not be a problem. I'm hoping to sell it to a high mileage rider, but I may sell my 2020 Talon when I buy a Talon R 4-seater. I was thinking I would buy one in January but I'm too busy riding this winter to do the setup so I may wait until May or June.
