What did you pay for your new Talon!

[Cobber4082]

Searched and did not find a thread for this on talons...kinda getting an itch...anybody willing to share? Are we generally paying msrp yet or are dealers getting more hungry

Edit/Update: Figured I should update my own post to help someone else out maybe. Pulled the trigger on a 2024 Talon X live valve on Saturday. Yay me! Told the wife I was going to get that fuel pump recall fixed lol! I price shopped extensively and drove 350 miles each way - but the deal was $1,700 difference from next closest deal which was only an hour away. I can drive for $1,700.

Any way Vern Eide Powerhouse -Sioux Falls SD, $18,200 sale price + my state of Iowa tax, title, registration fees. Found lots of dealers advertising all kinds of lower prices but actuality they tacked on 2-3 grand in fees and were not budging off of it. This dealer had several talons and indicated they had not moved any in almost 2 months??? Blowout pricing.

Ended up trading the pioneer as well as they give me $13,200 for it as well - not bad / not great considering accessories but you never come out on accessories anyway. Marketplace just was not producing hits even with lowered advertised price of $14,000 (side note I did have a dealer offer $14,000 for the pioneer but they wanted $21 for their talon)

Where are those 30% off coupons when you need them! Time burn more $$$ cash to make it how you want it!

In with the New and out with the Old

Wait until they release the 2025 models and go shopping for a 2024 and play the "this dealer will sell it to me for xxx game between the ones that have what you want in stock. That's how I got my 2019 Talon R for $16,500 OTD.

If your playing those games we're gonna need to see a deal sheet

Ask Classic Powersports how that worked out for them when I bought my KRX. They tried playing games with me on pricing so I called another dealer with the same unit and bought theirs for the OTD price I saw advertised that was well below Classics inflated OTD price. Classic called me twice a week after I bought it from the other dealer telling me I wasn't getting a better deal anywhere and that I needed to come in to fill out the paperwork before they changed their minds. Sales guy stopped calling after I sent him a picture of the new one sitting in my back yard.

Found a new 2022 leftover in Texas for $15000 the other day , but see 2024's around for $19 guess not sure if the updates on newer models = 4 grand? Have to ditch my pioneer too which is another game of how to price it with accessories.

We get so many guys in quoting other dealers who don't even have the unit the customer is looking for.

Without a deal sheet it's all just talk to us, it's happened quite a few times where the same guy runs around to everyone in our area. Come to find out the dealer he's quoting doesn't have any of that bike and is just throwing numbers around.

Had my P1K5 in for service at HOF. Looking for '23 LV and hoping they didn't have one. They did, and gave me a phenomenal price on the first one they received. The dealer I purchased the P1K5 from wanted my underwear over and above their price and fees. Very funny when I told them I roll commando.

Come on back, we have a few of those 4 seaters in stock you've been eyeballing.

Not sure about live valve or not...I am not savvy about suspension so live valve appeals but also have seen plenty of comments of issues with live valve

At least Honda makes it easy to check Inventory within a set range, a potential buyer can pull this up and know who has what they are looking for. Also maybe a motivation for offering a fair price if the particular model is in abundance.

Current Inventory today - 18 dealers have the exact model and trim I am interested in within 150 miles.

The newer 2023 and up LV got rid of the problem steering angle sensor.

The unit I've got in the shop right now is the first LV I've had with any issues outside of that particular sensor and it's under warranty.

Are the Fox LV shocks on the Talon internal bypass too or just LV?

I'm not sure tbh. I couldn't find anywhere that it's mentioned either.

I just picked up a 24 X on Wednesday. Went in for filters for my 19 X and saw this. Gave me good on trade. Sticker was 19200. Had 10005 on my 19 so I upgraded.

I have an X2 non LV
LV is nice and have had some issues here and there. That said, with the X you can take the stock shock and do many things/upgrades to your liking ranging from very affordable to very expensive your choice. I started out with new springs and it made a marked difference, then took it from there. Wife approves and that helps justify the $$

I've spoken to George at Double E and plan to send mine off this winter for the works. I was told that some X2s have 2" front and 2.5" rear, or 2" on all 4 corners. As I understand, the X LV has 2.5" on all 4 corners. I need to check and see what configuration mine is running
