Talon in depth.

[HondaTech]

I’ve seen the latest Diet wheels mag. Haven’t red it yet though.

Upon closer look, the front diff seems to be leaking.

I would know because I’ve seen that several times on my pioneer. I’ve had leaks on both front and rear.

Maybe it’s not a leak and we won’t know for sure. It sure does look like it though.

It's most likely grease residue from axle installation. Unless you take a cleaner and wipe the area down, any greasy residue left will attract dirt. Happens on the areas where oil touches the case cover when I change the oil in my dirt bike as well.

What this man just said!! Come on Honda release them a kraken
If it’s the s*** there will be many down payments just from that channel.

They will not because it is under powered and will get its but kicked but well.
Look at Yamaha's YXZ its basically the same transmission and the non turbo rzr whips it! the Talon don't stand a chance in the power department.
durability, quality, and ride will be its selling point.

You could put a giant turbo on a civic or Neon ( @Delton ) and it would be fast but I’ll take a muscle car.

Point is, PoPo is fast....I don’t care

The YXZ trans is nothing like the Honda.

The Yamaha is basically a bike trans separated from the engine, while Honda uses 2 clutches to actuate the gear changes.

Part of the Yamahas problem is the engine itself, it's basically a snow mobile engine and needs to be revved to s*** to make power. This is the same reason they had clutch issues out of the gate, slipping the clutch to keep it in that power band burnt them up.

A P1K can keep up with a 900 RZR all day and I've seen a few with good suspension stay with a 1000 in the woods. The Talon has 200 lbs less weight and 32 more horsepower, with good suspension from the start. I think itll surprise some people, everyone seems to forget that Honda, not Yamaha had a "real" transmission SXS first. They also seem to forget the fact that Honda also had paddle shifts before as well.

Honestly I think it’ll run out pretty good but those guys are really good about knowing the difference between turbo or N/A. From all I’ve seen they run things hard and compare like vehicles or at least explain the differences and why. Probably be the most honest test.
With all they’ve ran I’d love to hear what they say on steering feel, handling and suspension. Raw power I wouldn’t be too concerned.
I’d rather hear an opinion from someone who rides multiple sport Sxs’s hard then a strict fanboys opinion that just came for a Pioneer.

I am with Joey, I will sacrifice raw power for a well handling package.
Unless your suspension is way wrong and you can't hook up horse power wins in a drag race, horse power is what gets you out a corner on a track or tight woods trail I hope I am wrong but the way it looks on paper it will come in last in a head to head test with any of the brands less power and less suspension travel?
OH how I hope I am wrong and have to eat it on this post!!!

Im not going to be racing anyone but if I’m going to drop 20k on a two seat sport it had better not need shocks as a first purchase. No s*** it’ll handle better then the Pioneer but I’m hoping it’s on par with the Yami.

Nothin like rolling away from a GT with your crappy looking Neon. And getting 25+mpg in process lol
