TL;DR | Honda Made the Rules So Jackson Racing Could Break Them...
We get it. You don't always have time to read the whole story. So, we make a special TL;DR "story in photos" just for you! Matthew McNulty had the chance to hop in the driver's seat of Honda Powersports "factory" upgraded Talon 1000 equipped with a turbocharger courtesy of Jackson Racing (JR). While it takes a few tweaks to fit this new system into their trusty platform perfectly, the tuning from JR is so precise that the HRC team has been rocking it for years. And now consumers, like Mr. McNulty, have the chance to rip like a racecar driver (well, almost). He had a few good things to say in his comparison, but we'll spare you the deep insights and thoughtful opinions for a few anecdotes and pretty photos by Justin W. Coffey.
A Story in Photos: Testing Honda's Showa-Equipped Talon 1000
As spring came to a close, we traveled to Johnson Valley in California to meet up with Honda Powersports for a scorching hot ride through the desert. Their flagship Talon 1000 (two- and four-seater) side-by-side is now sporting Showa suspension from the factory, and we had the opportunity to test them out through deep canyons, rocky hill climbs, and sandy washes. While you'll probably see how much fun we had in this gallery, you'll need to read our review to learn exactly how that new system handled the punishment.
