Talon Stupid little 'Talon 1000' emblem

[dpnorth]

Hey y'all,
So since the beginning of my research looking at the Talon, I wondered why in this day and age of SxS's Honda didn't mount the gauge cluster over the steering wheel like CanAm and Yamaha does. Short version, after seeing the one Yamaha is offering--I really think they will have a tablet of some sort available as an accessory eventually, and it will snap into the spot where the 'Talon 1000' badge is center of the driver's attention. I had to pull it out because it just seems way too obvious of a plug to me....

Look how serious this hunk of plastic is!!!

There has to be more going on here....
Thoughts?

Oh ya..
I expect there is something coming. But when?

You seen the new African Twin display system?

Nah ... Honda won’t...

Polaris has made the Ride command compatible as a plugin add on for all 2020+ models but Honda cant give us anything remotely close.

I expect reliability and capability from Honda but well fitting accessories or nice additional electronic add-ons I wouldn’t hold my breath for, they will be a decade behind the last competitors to bring it to market.

I hope AEM comes out with a PnP harness for the Talon. I'd love a CD-5 in this spot.
