I knew you were going to say that.

See my comments about NOT buying another trailer. Hell...I'd have to buy a new garage for one of those.

I'm just not in on a sport machine. I don't ride fast enough to use what it has to offer, and I like the big bed (feel free to point out that my current ride probably has a smaller bed than a KRX). If I were...then yeah, I think the KRX is what the Talon maybe should have been.

I think the Talon just missed it’s mark on suspension a bit but for the most part it is what they designed it for. Still does a pretty good job on heavy trails even as pure sport

I wasn’t in on a sport machine either... boy oh boy.. I didn’t know what I was missing! And there’s ample room in here for an overland. I’m tell’n ya... in your part of the country this is the machine!

Spent some time up in Avery area a couple of years ago with a crazy ex-girlfriend. Took me to the spot where she spread her dead mother's ashes. Creepy girl, but beautiful country.

Have you ridden with a KRX yet? Wondering how it fares in the CP tests.
Not yet. There won’t be many in this area, not much support from larger dealers around here. Haven’t seen any out and about.
Sat in one it seemed real nice, but I’d really like to drive it and really check it out. They are just way to big for us to consider its huge.

@DG Rider get the 1000. For your riding you'll absolutely love it over the 700. So much quieter, rides way better even with aftermarket on the 700. And the dual range is superior to the 3 speed. Just do it.

I think it would have to be smaller as well as skinnier for me. I do like the platform a lot though. And I’d have to ride it in my area probably.
Still love the Talon (once they figure out the low range issues) and the real transmission is by far our favorite. I know the clutched belt is good because of our Wolverine but prefer the dct. Plus we are a Honda family with Yami as second, always have been coming from experience with bikes. Not saying I wouldn’t buy a different Jap machine but it would take a lot.
Btw LOVE the blue on the KRX.

Damn! My friend just got this. Apparently the guy has been looking for another low mileage 12v and can’t find one so he’s keeping his wrecked one and flaking on my friend
