New to buying one of these and finalizing my decision. Dealers have the standard in stock but I’m drawn to the deluxe for the power steering and wheel size which I have to drive a ways to find one. Is it worth the extra $1000?

Looking at the honda powersports website and comparing the 2 models, the only differences are Led headlights, extra colored side panels, and the 14in wheels. Both 1000-5 should come with powersteering. The basic 1000 3 seater is the only one without powersteering. As far as panels you can buy the panels pretty cheap and install them yourself if you wish. Alot of guys talked about saving the extra money and putting it toward wheels and tires of there choice when determining between the standard vs deluxe.
The Deluxe has upgraded wheels and tires. Also paddle-shifters on the steering wheel.
The LED lights are very nice, although I added a light bar.
Don't know if it's all worth $1000 extra, but some nice options. When it's the only one in stock, like when I got mine this summer, the choice was rather easy.

Don’t forget the plastics.The Deluxe has upgraded wheels and tires. Also paddle-shifters on the steering wheel.

Yes, the guy posting above covered the plastics. I think the plastics panels help it go faster, less wind resistance and weight than the stock cast iron doors.

The Base also comes with paddle shifter. Like tjoreo said, headlights, panels, wheels and tires are the only difference.The Deluxe has upgraded wheels and tires. Also paddle-shifters on the steering wheel.

Honestly if the price difference is only $1k I would go for the delux. Comes with l.e.d headlights already, although you might want some extra lighting. Wheels are nicer, tires seem to be junk though. And it will have the panels already, in red ofcourse, cause its the fastest!!! 😉
