2019 Talon R 30,000 Mile Report

[hondabob]

Its like the Energizer Bunny, it just keeps on running. No break downs. My RZR buddy’s are amazed and probably a little Butt Hurt. At a lunch stop a guy asked me why I have the little Suzuki in the back. I told him I go on long remote solo rides and I’m too old to walk very far. He said Hondas don’t break. I told him I know but anything can break and I could always crash it. My buddy crashed his Talon last year and busted both tires on the drivers side and also broke both wheels too. Fortunately another Talon buddy and I had spare wheels to save the day. With the high mileage it looks like I get to keep it and will have over 45,000 miles on it at the end of next year. I compare it with my 2020 Talon R with 6,000 miles and can’t tell the difference in performance. The only difference is one is Green and the other one is Red. My 2019 shifts better when cold after around 20,000 miles of sub trans break in.

Thanks HondaBob for the update. Not sure anyone here would disagree with your comments. I am waiting to see the 2022 Talon X official announcement to see what has been improved.

I was at a farm show today and spoke with a Honda dealer that had a display and one Talon there for all to see. I told them about your mileage and they were amazed. Personally I will not live long enuf to put that many miles on mine.
