This is my first post and a few concerns with the Talon... I love the HP/Weight ratio of mountain sleds(my sled 160hp/480lbs) and Sprint Cars(410sprint 950hp/1400lbs). The Talon looks awesome for a starter machine, with that low of HP I would expect a lot smaller machine. I was hoping for a far better motor. To start Honda offers 136hp in the cbr1000rr bike that weighs a lot less than a sxs. Why can’t we have 200hp in a sxs, 400hp even. The HP to weight ratio in sxs has a long ways to catch up for us none turboed HP junkies. I will still buy a talon because it’s a Honda and has The DCT (wish it had 10 gears so I could run in low to make up for low HP) with one condition... will I fit in it?
I am 6’6” and 280lbs, I had to make changes to fit in my pioneer with a heal riser to keep from cramping while running the pedals. I’m hoping I don’t have to cut up the Talon to fit in it. Nobody thinks of the big guys when making cabs.
