Kawasaki's new sport KRF1000AL will have 112HP!

[HondaTech]

Top speed, 68mph. Ho hum....

Bet my bosses Talon would walk that green snot rag all day, bone stock with 32s.

Forward opening doors, adjustable seats both sides, gauge pod in front of adjustable steering wheel, and arm rests on doors with door releases inside and out. Wish more manufacturers would take note.

Kawasaki came out swinging. I was watching the countdown. Honda's intro for the Talon was poor. IMO Kawasaki nailed their intro today, and they have a website, media, and images worthy of a great new machine. Took Honda a few weeks/months to get there. By the numbers, the new KRX looks to be a serious contender in the terrain its meant for. Anybody else notice they didn't show it in the dunes? Clearly aimed at another audience, and I love how it's a serious competitor to Polaris's Trails and Rocks Edition RZR, but $3100 cheaper. Kawasaki has made high-quality machines in the past and I believe this one will be the same. I love the competition, it drives everyone to be better. I'm looking to add a new 1K machine to the Southwest ORV fleet in the next year, and now I've got another one to add to the list of possible purchases:
RZR XP 1000
RZR S 1000
Talon 1000X
YXZ1000R SS
Wildcat XX
Maverick Sport
Kawasaki Teryx KRX1000 - this machine would do so well in AZ/Utah/Colorado.

I plan on getting a sport SXS when I sell the P1K, right now its between this, Canam Sport XRC, and the Talon X. Had looked at the Polaris Trails and Rocks, good looking machine, but still a Polaris

A friend and I were discussing the KRX and it looks like the Talon and the RZR has a love child. The fact the transmission has a clutch makes it seems that much more plausible.

I hope it’s a good machine. I REALLY hope their accessories are spectacular and blow Honda out of the water because as capable, reliable, and durable as Honda’s machines are, Polaris leads the pack on accessories and Honda is dead last in that respect.
Maybe it will get Honda to step up their accessory game!!

they did not compare the Talon R - which would have come closer in a few categories but below are the specs they are most proud of

The should have compared the XX in there as well.

I know this is their "base model", but its more comparable to the RZR Trails and Rock IMO.. which when you compare them makes this seem like a good price.

The Talon X is really calling to me lately. It's got the right mix of everything I want/need.

The Kawasaki looks impressive. Beefy and well thought out out, includes a lot of extras already on the machine and good accessory lineup. The down fall to me is the size and weight. I know the trend is to bigger machines, but I like small and agile.

I wonder when the 31x15 carnivores will be available to for purchase. I'd like a set of them on the Talon.

I've read that the Talon drops down to about 68 mph top speed with same tires as the KRX?

 

[VaHillbilly]

I have to say, it's a damn good looking machine!

Looks good to me, instrument cluster is too small so is my p1k5. And the big open area on dash looks good for storage but I dont see how anything would stay put after a log crossing or creek ride!

 

[Hondasxs]

These things are dropping like hot cakes everywhere.

Hope someone at Honda is taking notes.

Until John Doe #2 leaks a picture or three.

 

[Hondasxs]

More I read.. This is a s*** box in a purdey wrapper.
Top speed - 67, 68 downhill.
P1k will do 66.
Guess time will tell, too early to make the final call.

 

[Adam490]

I get that high top speed = bragging rights, but I'm reserving judgement until I see one hitting some trails. I don't think I'd take one over a Talon but it looks well made with some beefy components. It's a porky little bastard at 1900 lbs.
