Hi ,Im new to your forum,
After 2 wrist surgerys I think my days of riding Sport ATVs are numbered, I have a Honda 400EX and 450R, I Like The new Talon, but do you get the 2 or 4 seater? Is the extra length a big draw back? I ride mostly woods in MN and WI, Thanks for your input

If you have to ask, 2 seat. Why even consider the 4 seater if you don't need it for kids?

I got the 4 seater, but have 3 kids. Would definitely have gotten the 4 seat otherwise.

I do have grand kids (I didnt want to sound that old) but Im not sure they will be interested, Thanks for the info. The 4 seat does seem big for the woods.

Well maybe you should get something a little safer like a rascal? 😜

Well if the grandkids might go, get the 4 seat, my kids love the talon. My 2 year old calls it the "monster truck" and my 7 year old, despite not being as interested in trucks and whatnot as I had hopes loves riding in it.

We ride trails through the woods and sometimes have to bypass really deep mud holes. The two seater X is great at this! I've followed others in 4 seaters that have a very hard time getting through the trees.

I have been enjoying the 4 seater. 95% of the time it’s fine, but there are times when you have to stop, back up and hit it again, and turning around often becomes a three point turn.

The 2 seat X has nearly 3 ft less turning radius than the 2 seat R. From what i have heard the 4 seat version has very close to the same turning radius as the 2 seat R.

So were you trying to say that you believe the X4 turning radius is about the same as the R two seater??
