Honda Talon 1000R 4 Test Review

Honda Talon 1000R 4 Test Review. Immediately following the release of their two-seat Talon models, Honda released their first four-seat models, the Talon X4 and Talon X4 Fox Live Edition in 2020. The Talon line received minor updates in 2022 but for 2023 Honda is back with their fourth side-by-side model in as many years as they've been in the segment. For 2023 the 64" wide Talon 1000X-4 is joined by the 68.1" wide Honda Talon 1000R-4 adding a bit more width, wheelbase and suspension travel to Honda's four-seat platform for enhanced performance in wide-open terrain along with receiving key updates found across the entire Honda Talon lineu to enhance agility on tight trails. For our review of the Honda Talon 1000R-4, we were given the opportunity to test the machine at Mid-America Outdoors in Jay Oklahoma on their wooded trails and a short course designed by Travis Pastrana.

Just bought the 2023 Talon 1000x4 fox live valve. It’s an awesome machine! More than capable enough for me.

[@UTVonDemand]

We're very excited to bring you our our test review of the fourth new sport side-by-side model from Honda in as many years as they've been in he segment, the 2023 Honda Talon 1000R-4 Fox Live Valve Edition. Can't wait to view your thoughts and questions on Honda latest sport SXS model.

[@RacerX400600]

Good edit! Very informative.

[@UTVonDemand]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@brandonmortensen8208]

U guys make the best videos on atvs and sxs . Fantastic job. H

[@UTVonDemand]

Thank you! We do our best to cover as many details as possible. We know these are a big financial investment for our fellow off roaders.

[@mixflip]

Thank you for calling it a car and not a bike.

[@UTVonDemand]

No problem. 🤣

[@townsendYXZ]

Love my yxz but the talon is nice also big fan of all sxs ill take anyone of them

[@UTVonDemand]

We agree! There are a number of good options out there.

[@hby7768]

are there any rattles like the older talons?

[@doc_teamwaxoffroad]

👍👍👍

✌️

[@DoubleTap702]

Is the rear suspension as bad as everyone says? I’ve heard they’re horribly stiff

[@christianbaraquia8788]

How good is Talon?

[@UTVonDemand]

Build quality wise it's good. Not the fastest machine on the market but more than fast enough for most people.

[@russelleckenberg2293]

Please Honda, how about some bigger tires.

[@UTVonDemand]

Agreed!

[@jameslassard7998]

Fix the damn throttle on it too

[@UTVonDemand]

What problems are you having?

[@Pofdmanaxe]

Need more power not even an option for most people.

[@UTVonDemand]

A lot of people do want more power. Some need it.

[@jameslassard7998]

Be a good machine if they put some tires underneath of it The tires are a joke

[@UTVonDemand]

Agreed!!!

[@porroco]

Shock therapy said honda talon suspension is from a 2012 utv it is outdated from now utv market

[@UTVonDemand]

Post the link to their video.

[@billbob235]

Shock Therapy is simply marketing themselves. Stating the suspension is from 2012 seems dramatic, if they even said that. All stock UTV suspension, live valve or not, can always benefit from aftermarket treatment. In stock form, the Honda live valve performs well for the general driver.

[@theingobeck4772]

The Talons rear suspension could use a longer trailing arm but, as demonstrated by the several Baja wins, Best in the Desert wins, and Pro-level Short Course wins a knowledgeable suspension person can make a Talon awesome.

[@bobbymenefee7591]

It’s not Japan built. These Talons are made in America!

[@UTVonDemand]

True that! Honda is a japanese manufacturer though. We certainly appreciate that they build them here

[@wraith511802003]

Honda sponsored this commercial.

[@UTVonDemand]

LOL, If Honda paid us, why would we have criticized the tire size? Why would we have referred to its power output as a modest 104 horsepower? Why would we have pointed out the brake heating issues we have experienced in the past and our driver's desire for more breaking power? Why would we have referred to the digital display as basic? Why would we have complained about no backwall on the cargo bed? Seriously, if you're going to troll this channel, you have to at least watch the video first so you don't wind up humiliated.

[@wraith511802003]

@@UTVonDemand So i was on target? Or naw?

[@UTVonDemand]

@@wraith511802003 LOL. Manufacturers do not compensate us for reviewing their machines. That's why we are willing to criticize them. Heck, we would criticize them anyway.

[@wraith511802003]

@@UTVonDemand OK then why so defensive? Could have just said NO, we are not compensated for our reviews. Did you get a demo modle to review?

[@UTVonDemand]

@@wraith511802003 Defensive because you made the statement that honda sponsored this commercial. This was not a commercial it was a review. Had you asked if honda sponsored it we simply would have responded, no. Saying it was a Honda sponsored commercial implied that there was no criticism of the vehicle and only fluff.

Good luck finding gasoline for them soon😮
