After months of research and after trying a few different side by sides out I have decided to buy a pioneer 500. Let me be clear,being a member of this forum and gaining knowledge from p500 owners played a big part in my decision. My good friend owns a kymco 450 and he thought I should buy one of those.I prefered the quietness of the honda,the honda transmission and honda's reputation for reliability. Any way I could go on and on but the bottom line is I'm picking up my Pioneer 500 next Tuesday and I can't wait.
