If any of you have any requests of things for me to look at, take pictures or videos of, or measure, let me know. I am in Chicago for work and I believe there is a talon at the Chicago auto show which is going on this week. $13 to get in is worth it to me to see one in person. I just hope they let you touch and sit in them at this show. I dont have a tape measure with me but i can figure something out probably if you guys need specifics.

Could you see where the battery and electrical stuff is? Under the hood, or under the seat, or where ever. Just interested, thanks!

Where are you going? Sounds like your going to a strip club with the look but don’t touch comment and a cover charge?

Can you relate what size the axle shafts are to a P1K?

I've been told by a instructor in Troy that they are huge!

When we saw those two out on the trail, I thought the shafts looked a little larger compared to the pioneer.

It’s kind of funny because the YXZ has more power and skinnier shafts. I know it’s because of their ability to allow slip and control the shock loads sent down the drive line. Really cool stuff.

Ok, so I was very impressed overall. The quality is awesome! I'm 6'3 and 205 lbs. It could have been bigger in the cab area, but I've sat in an x3, xp1000, yxz1000, maverick, etc, and this was just as roomy if not even bigger inside than any of them. The rear bed can definitely hold the big yeti size cooler. Basically i loved the whoke things except this very short list:
- the mounting point for the rear trailing arm ot the frame side seems like very thin metal and could be a weak point?
- and I'm not sure I like the rocker panel area design. Basically you have the exposed horizontal bar and then below and back under a bit there is another frame piece. Between the two is a piece of body plastic. However behind that plastic on the passenger side is the fuel tank which I think could possibly be an issue in the crazy rocky terrain I ride in.

The other things I didn't care for are so minor they aren't even worth mentioning. More like personal preference. I was pleasantly surprised with how narrow the R version actually was. Makes me think that is the way I would go. Just need somebody to make high clearance training arms with like a 2" lift, along with arch a arms and a 2" lift up front. The axles didn't appear any bigger than the pioneer.

I forgot to mention the bumper. That pitiful little hoop of a front bumper is actually awesome. By looking at the pictures I thought they did worse than the bumper on my pioneer, but after seeing it in person I'm certain you could ram some stuff with that thing and be perfectly fine.
