Do You Really Need Active Suspension? I Take The 2022 Honda Talon 1000X-4 Fox Live Valve For A Ride! 

It is called editing. By the time you see a video, 1/2 a dozen or more have been made. And they are often NOT in order. If you watch/listen to the TFLtalk, often they are discussing what they cannot discuss and referencing videos yet to come, that have already been released. 😉 The Alaska series was over with (for me) the moment they released the video showing it was already in Prudhoe Bay. Everything after that is the legs of the journey that should have come before. He did at least 1/2 a dozen if not a dozen videos in Korea before he even got to do his part in Lightning series as it was going on. Then flew to Alaska to do the last bit and there were videos being released of him being in Korea LONG after he had flown to Alaska. 😉

Trust me, it’s insane. We have one with 32 inch tires on it, it’s like a Cadillac.

Ditto 👍

These things just rake in profit. I'd be surprised if it cost them $15k to make one of these.

27k for the Talon. According to the website.

@@joshc606 The MSRP what they advertise does not include shipping,dealer fees,dealer add-ons,tax,registration. Those increase the final out the door price significantly. And they vary from dealer to dealer what they charge you.

@@patd4u2 That's true. But if you're patient, willing to travel, and find the rare dealer that isn't lubed up and ready to rape you, you can buy any Talon made for under $30k new.

Pretty much means the same, no?

@@joshc606 No. Search "Bose Active Suspension." Waaaaayyy different thing.

It's great for us out West. Fast driving, dry wheeling, etc. Really it just needs better refinement. It's not an "open diff" that "uses the brakes" to keep the wheel from spinning like people think. It's kind of like a ratcheting auto locker. With power applied and both wheels having traction the wheels are both applying power unless you're cornering or one wheel starts slipping. The brakes are applied to re-engage the cam and follower type lock and try to keep the power applied where it's needed. You can see in videos it works better on some Talons than others. For us that primarily ride in the desert at a faster pace it really is nice over having a normal selectable open/locked locker. The front diff is also very durable, as well. Most of the failures I've seen are cracked/broken cases. I've seen a lot of abuse on camera and haven't seen one grenade.

As opposed too small as a mouse? 🤷‍♂

Tires, blinkers, and other stuff.

Dont meet safety requirements for street use, No crush zone in front for one thing. Front tire outer edge in front of body. (great for off road but not for a head on collision)

@@patd4u2 motorcycle....😅 This logic makes no sense

@@BEABEREAN10 because anything with more than 3 wheels isn't considered a motorcycle. I think it was an Italian company that tried to bring what was essentially a 4 wheeled motorcycle to the US and could not because it would not be considered a motorcycle here

@@ColeSpolaric I understand that...but why do safety standards like windshields and crash protection not matter for 2 wheels but has to in 4 lol that's where the logic falls apart. I know there is nothing we can do about it, it's just dumb

You never wear any restraints? That explains your user name.
