I've got 12K into my P5. By the time I'm ready to replace it, there's no telling what the configuration will be, or whether Honda will even still be making them. These are suppose to last 20 years, right!

Heres, a picture of the one new color? It's green and it replaces the blue that was dropped, so its green,red,camo. The auto manual switch is located right next to the 2 to 4 wheel drive shifter. Good new's look at the coil overs! I have all ready made a call for 4 of them, my order is in.

how much for the new shocks???
He still didn't have the cost but had the part # and it showed it as available. I told him to go ahead and get them coming. He said he would shoot me the price as soon as he had it. I trust him, I have made all 7 of my honda purchases with him and he has alway's treated me well.

I'm very happy with the paddle shifters, I'm sure those of us running bigger tires would not be happy with a auto mode. The shifting wouldn't be spot on for us. The progressive shock are the only thing that caught my eye. Glad I got my blue, I'm not real impressed with this color of green, hope it looks better in person.

My dealer just called me back the number he had was for a 16, so he said it would probably be at least a couple of weeks before he had part #'s for the 17. So he said he would let me know just as soon as he has them.

Don't Matter ....
I'm all about mine...
2015 Honda Pioneer 500
Yeah, I wouldn't give mine up for any upgrade at this point.
I like the the color of green we have over that new one for sure.
Auto mode would be cool to free up one hand for say...beverages!
Wonder if the coil overs will be that much better?

It's almost as if they are competing against themselves...they now have two very comparable machines (500 and 700)..close in cc's with the same features...just a little strange to me...I thought, at least, they would attack the RZR900 and Wolverine machines..at least that is what I had hoped :)
I drove a wolverine. ...
not bad rig

Looks like they raised the MSRP $500 for progressive springs on the shocks and automatic mode. I would think AT mode would be a little anemic with less than a 500cc engine. I think using the paddles is the best way to get the power out of this machine. The dealers are offering some killer prices on the 2016 models right now and if I was looking at a P5 I would jump on one for sure.
