I came across this searching the web and although its not directly from Honda, I'm curious to its validity. After reading the article, I cannot see anything different from the 2017 500 except the increase in price. Am I missing something?

I think it's a typo, should be '17. The info on '18 models will not be released until at least June.

The price is stated at $9,999 which is $1,000 over current MSRP. Makes one wonder....

Yes it's basically going to be the same, and I think u may be able to get a side car for the 2018 model if it's not a prank. That would make the P500 a 3 person machin.
Make it...a new way
to kill those on...
"DEATH ROW"....
......PRANK.....

To me that's the "true" Honda green. This new green takes some getting use to. Wasn't a fan at first but yet no one else has this color and it's grown on me & I did special order it lol. Still like the other green better tho.

I like the green. I'm not familiar with an older color. My new machine is green and its close enough to OD , so I'm ok with it. I ordered the Camo Bimini and will attempt to do the rest in the Camo scheme. $600 more for the Camo plastics is just too much $$ for me right now.

I wanted the camo also but I couldn't justify the extra $600 to pay for it. I had the red in my 15 but I was so sick of it because everyone else had red. Wanted something different

Not a big fan of red. Most of my personal stuff is greens or browns. I try to blend in like a tree. I stand out enough being 6'9" tall.

What kind of tires are those on your 500? Do you like them and what type of terrain do you mostly run on?

Its tight, but I do fit fairly comfortably well with a couple inches to spare before my knees eat dash. If only trail restrictions were more lenient to wider utv's....we'll see how it goes...
