It's all speculation.Looking at those spy pics makes you want to think the roof is standard and April be a perfect time to buy.Would be cool if they were available on the 27th but i doubt it...
A roof is standard on almost all of the Yamahas, maybe Honda will follow suit.

I feel the same way. One accessory I don't have to worry about is a light-bar. The person who bought my Wolverine didn't want it. So I'm wondering if it would be considered blasphemous to have a Yamaha branded light bar on a Honda product. :D
Hell NO!

Yes. I have confirmed this. Roof will be included.

That's surprisingly good news. I figured why would they include something that they can sell for $400.

My question is gearing. I’d believe they are running the exact running gear in the Talon. But what gearing? Since it’s got more power are they going to open them up?

Just open your pocketbook for a YXZ. You’ll be happy!
I did and currently butterflies came out. I’d be happy enough with that machine I think but I’d like to see how “the game changer” performs and holds up before we commit. I would like low range but not going to spend 5k more for just that. Like everyone else I’m hoping the Talon is the machine but I’m afraid it’s just hype.Hoping not.
I’m going to wait till next September and let people put it through its paces. Hopefully it’s worth the wait will be just what we all want.

I just want 4 seats, ground clearance, good suspension and performance...Don't need the massive horsepower. Just need to go faster than 43mph! The pioneer handles Royal Blue just fine with all the big boys.....until, you hit the straightaways!!!! That being said....I'll be having my 700-4 with 224 miles for sale the day the 4 seater is announced! I'll need a bigger trailer also!!

You think it'll come out with a big warranty? That alone should peak a lot of interest....

It kinda surprises me that there hasn't been any additional leaks. Even Apple messes up once and awhile. I try so hard to forget about Tuesday....but I CAN'T!!

  1. Do not currently own
I still don’t get why it doesn’t have full doors. Do people prefer half doors? Maybe that’s their solution for engine heat is the half door?

I spent more money then I wanted to making my pioneer fit my style of riding better. And still not what I would like. But I’ll tolerate because of the seating. But whatever I end up with next I hope to have mostly what I want from the factory.

I'm so excited I got a feeling like I overdosed on Viagra !! Not !!! Knowing Honda, it'll be really lame, just like their other offerings compared to the competition.
