Curious, do you know approximately how many of the two models are expected to be sold/produced in 2019?

Hmmm....

I'm wondering if they'll ship with the cage installed?

Honda..... I'm betting no. Lol

The P1K has everything but the nets, beltsnl, front bumper and skid plates. Only the 700 and 500 have the cages off.

I'll almost bet these come pretty much assembled like the P1K.

I would think so too, especially since the plastic roof is standard. Only common sense way is to ship installed or packaged separately in multiple units.

We've been down the "accessories ship separate" road before. I would like to think they've learned their lesson in that regard.

What a nightmare.

Here's to Talons rolling off the assembly line.

Fist Bump

That could be the warehouse storage rack so they can stack them 3 or 4 high. I expect they will install the cage and roof before shipping to the dealers.

This is from south Carolina. Theyll get shipped to a warehouse where they get assembled somewhat, then shipped to us.

The P1K is done the same, not sure why the 700 and 500 arent.

With the shortage of Truck Drivers Honda and others will be looking for ways to package more vehicles per load.
I recently read that In spite of 10~11% pay increases the driver shortage remains unchanged in 2019. 25% of drivers now earn $80K or more. Younger people have more options and gravitate to more stable jobs with regular hours. Yesterday I drove from Boise ID to St George UT and saw 3 trucks jackknifed and off the road. Several were wandering into other lanes, scary to pass. Distracted driving or inexperience would be my guess. Conditions weren’t bad with occasional slush on passes of 3-$” inches but not many trucks slowed down.
