View attachment 124030 Hello, my name is Steve. My wife (Carla) and I signed the papers on a new
RED Talon 1000X yesterday (4/17/19). We live in Oklahoma City and purchased the unit from Shawnee Honda (about 25 miles east of OKC). I haven't actually taken possession yet, as there are some accessories on order that will hopefully be installed next week. Accessories include:
- Winch/winch mount
- Rear bumper (would do front bumper too, but nobody has any right now)
- Switch plate with volt meter
- A-arm guards
- Trailing arm guards
There will be more customizing to come, but this is what we started with.
This is our first SxS, as we've been ATV riders to this point (two 2007 Grizzly 700's). I traded a 2015 BMW R1200GSA and one of the Grizzly's in on the Talon. Going to miss the BMW, but honestly, I just don't get the joy out of motorcycling that I once did (and I've been riding since 1975).
BTW - Carla and I are retired and look forward to using this Talon in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah, among other places. We almost pulled the trigger on a new Yamaha YXZ a few months back and I am really glad we opted to wait on the Honda. Carla loves riding her Grizzly and she wasn't sure she was willing to give it up to ride in a SxS. Amazingly, it only took one test drive to convince her. She LOVED it! And my willingness to forgo my motorcycling (actually still have a KLR) and Grizzly, while opting to keep her beloved red Griz, sealed the deal. That's all I needed to hear. The rest, as they say, is history, and I've actually got a little more room in the barn.
Steve
