Dear Honda

Dear Honda, please hire some Polaris engineers to show you how to build a comfortable, smooth riding, well fitted machine. In particular, hire the ones that designed the Polaris Northstar.

Thanks.

They did, it's called a Talon.

Dear Honda,

Still no word on a 50" Talon? Just want a 50" sport machine made by Honda.

Hello Honda, hurry up with that photo shoot and ship my machine!!!!!

Yes. With the exception of turf mode being "one wheel drive". What turf mode does is allow the rear diff to operate as an open diff, meaning torque can be biased between the two wheels as needed by different wheel speed demands. The only vehicles with "1 wheel drive" are bikes, motorcycles, and powerwheels toys.

And 99% of your cars and trucks without positive track rearends unless they are front wheel drives in which case they are 99% 1 wheel drive on the front

They have open diffs, not "one wheel drive".

And the difference is?

Now pick one wheel off the ground and see which one spins when you apply power... aka, one wheel drive

A wheel that is spinning in the air isn't "driving" anything, but I figured I was wasting my time anyway...

Was trying to get you to understand that with an open differential if you have one wheel lose traction you are no longer applying power through the other wheel, ergo the same result a one wheel drive without traction.... no movement. One of the reasons I purchased a P1K, turf mode.... ergo open differential.
