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.
