I just hope Richard is ready for the massive influx of traffic at the Takeover.

I’m so happy to see spiral cut gears in the diffs so we don’t have that annoying noise.

 

[Tramguage1]

Is this the same motor thats in the Pioneer?

 

[snuffnwhisky]

At least it’s got high and low range. Now what’s the ratios?

Same split between Low and High as the pioneer. Don't know what the final reduction will be yet.

Mehhh.....until I hear more specs I'm saving for a P1K5.

Gave some specs on the suspension.

 

[Ragnar406]

I did expect something that was “new tech” something that no other has - not seeing the unmet need this fills - hopefully early they did not give any retail and any expected date did they?

 

[SouthwestORV]

Man. Come on. That was a lame intro. Stale and just disappointing. It felt like they threw it together in the past week, like they never even practiced what they were going to say! Put me on that stage and I’d be excited to introduce something exciting! It’s not convincing to say something is exciting over and over when the announcers seem nervous and out of touch...where’s the passion for the product? I’m sorry, but the Talon deserves better.

 

[SouthwestORV]

Regarding my statement above...I’m not criticizing the product. But presentation is huge. You could bake the best dish on earth, but if you throw the food at your audience...you lost an opportunity!

If you ever met Wayne. That's as exciting as he gets! I met him at the honda 1000 test ride. When asked about adjustable suspension he explained that people don't understand how to adjust it therefore it can be dangerous...

 

[JACKAL]

JACKAL, I know you are holding out on more info.....c'mon man.....do tell.....

 

[Plumber32]

Weighs the same as a 1000-3 but has better suspension... and not enough space for @sharp yetti!

 

[Eltobgi]

After watching the promotional videos I would like to run with them in the BEAST to see exactly what they have to offer I do have to admit I think the talon is sexy as hell!

 

[SouthwestORV]

You know there are people at Honda who are passionate about this product. Put that guy/gal on the stage, wearing a red Honda Powersports T-Shirt, and share their enthusiasm for this machine. Just tell the audience about it. Be genuine. It’s contagious and powerful when it’s real. How does Honda miss this after so long in the industry?

 

[SuperDutyJohn]

BORING.......Shoulda been a little more exciting!!

Boring? No, it sucked!

Wrong years, low excitement and have the thing hidden behind reporters and cameras?

I wonder who planned this out? Yamaha?

Poor Honda just fell flat on its face in this presentation....

That presentation don't mean crap. Anyone the would or would not buy one base on the first ad/presentation is pretty gullible.
