Talon Talon R Happy Talk

[hondabob]

From my buddy at Honda. I just love this Honda Happy Talk. We have known about the sport model for a few years but the Honda guys can't talk about it and I don't ask. This web site is great for Honda info. BTW the 2020 Pioneer's have been CARB certified.

"You will love the Talon R Bob!
I rode it all day in the desert on Monday.
The power and suspension are sooo very good."

I'm getting the first one my dealer gets in April.

Yep, I can't wait myself. But Don't think I will be picking one up any time soon.

I been watching the CARB site for a while but stopped checking once the Talon CARB's hit.
With the 2020 Pioneers already listed that must mean ZERO changes to the current setup.
Which is ok. I guess.
Maybe BOLD NEW COLORS! haha. Love those phrases.

Good luck with your talon adventures. You know we going to need some pictures out and about.

Nice to here of some recent Talon information. Can't wait to hear real owner experiences especially from those who had considerable miles in a P1K.

Yup, good to hear some happy talk.

Rumor has it the 2020 africa twin is getting bumped to a 1098cc and a newer version of the dct. How long before the pioneer sees that?

The UTV industry pretty much agreed to limit engine size to 1000 CC max, anything larger will be considered a dune buggy by Kalifornia standards, so there may very well be a 1200 Africa Twin, but probably with most certainty wont be in a SXS

ROHVA standards limit SXS to 1000cc. The manufacturers agreed to this standard when Recreational Off Highway Vehicle Association was established. I'm an ATV safety instructor and considering becoming a ROHVA instructor and that's about the first thing their packet explains. Turbo and possibly supercharger will be the only way the manufacturers will increase HP.

Very interesting did you happens to see the spec's? is bore only, or did they add stroke?
a big bore turbo charged Talon sound like fun.
