I placed my deposit with my local Honda dealer 6 weeks ago for a Talon X4. Called them today, and found out they havent been allowed to place an order with Honda yet. They told me “maybe by the end of the month”……

Unless there's and open order period, which I doubt their will be for 22 models, its going to be after the first of the year before the 23 models get announced

Glad I didnt sell my P1000-3. Looks like a long wait for the X4…..

I'm afraid to ask what the turning radius of an R4 will be.

Terry, I believe there was an old CW song that said it well: "Give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around"

Exactly.

Yep, that would be my concern as well. They better do something to improve the steering over the R or that thing is going to take and acre. My X4 seems to turn as good as a 2 seat R.

Hello crew! New to the forum. I've made phone calls to two really large Honda dealerships that move large volumes of machines. They say there is no truth to this and that the gentleman that made the above YouTube video has done this before. Oh how I hope they're wrong and he's right. I've been hoping Honda would release the 4R since the introduction of the Talon lineup.

You'll find that dealers are often last to know. With keen watching of CARB, patents, and parts fiche that seem to come out early, a lot of times you can find out on this site what is coming before it is actually released.
This group even had the first pics of the Talon before released and even got Hondas "not so pleasant" attention on that one. I don't believe a CARB listing is a guarantee it is coming out, but it usually does.

The 4 seat models sell well so I expect the 4 seat R will be announced late this year. All Honda has to do is move the front dif forward and use the 4 seat X steering rack. From the ARB chart it looks like it will only be offered with Live Valve. I wanted a 4 seat X but couldn't give up the 20 inches of travel.

The only difference in the rack is the housing width. The R rack is wider, so the tie rod balljoint bottoms out on the housing to prevent axle bind. We made our own X rack by machining the housing down.

For you guys wondering about the turning radius..... 2wd and lots of throttle. 😁

Is the front diff further back in an X than the R model? I thought the only difference was the length and offset of the front A arms and that both frames were the same except for the extra suspension mounting point the R has for the rear upper trailing link.

2023 announcement just like 2022. Announced but availability ??????????????????

So on CA carb’s website, Honda’s 2023 lineup is indeed listed and shows CARB passed their testing this summer. I’ve been digging around for the CARB app on their site for a bit to verify what the video said and finally found it! The 2023 1000R-4 Fox Live Valve is indeed listed as one of their 2023 models!

A 4 seater R almost makes me want a 4 seater........Almost!
