P700 Disappointed

[William]

I find it ironic that Honda uses the isobar map decals on the rear door of the p700-4. It’s almost like Honda is trying to compensate for the known fact that it performs terribly at the very altitudes shown on the decals!

No it don't.

I lived at 4500' and usually a Max of 7000', with an odd trip up to 10k.

think it will get better, mine started about the mileage you got, just wish the ride would be more compliant when I don't have anyone else in it.might have to start carrying a load of wood when I'm by myself on the trail days. same here seems like people complain about high places, but here we are max couple thousand a couple of the places we go to ride, ton of big hills and clay mud at those parks, and at home it will pull a couple thousand lbs through the mud and snow.

I agree, mine was sluggish and unimpressive until I hit around 350ish miles and then it was like it woke up all of a sudden.

LOL...maybe 4400' is the key.

I start at 55oo feet and go up from there. I had to sell the 700 as it just would not climb the hills I travel on and I hated the 38mph top speed. The 1000 solved everything.

So the conclusion is... the 700 is for flat lander, slow, mouth breathers.... LOL....
