Ive heard their throwing out ktichen sink and starting from scratch. Engine and all.

But i didn't say that...

That would be awesome!!!

Honda really needs to step up there game the Talon and the Pioneer both got a great transmission but the rest of the machine is badly out dated compared to Polaris or Canam and even a little behind Yamaha.

I guess I am supposed to feel good that my Pioneer beats the Chinese crap sxs in every category.

Please Honda, please do it!!!

THAT is exactly what needs to be done. BS on 'adding favorite accessories' or new graphics. Bring on great suspension, locking diff, bead lock wheels, and lower gearing for bigger tires!

Had to pay current msrp a few weeks ago on a 1000-5, I can add what they did and then some for less than their new msrp.
MSRP should not increase that much on a platform that old.
It might be cheaper to pick up a Suzuki Samari and go off reading with it. Lol

The poor ole 700 never gets any love!
Freakin unbelievable, TeamHonda should slowly faze out the p500 which is basically a Rubicanwith a steering wheel. Then just concentrate on 700,500 Talon etc.

No way, they can walk and chew gum at the same time. And why should they eliminate such a bullet proof part of their line up....😎😎

still waiting for Honda to release a rec unit like Yamahas wolverine, Kawasaki's Teryx, and can ams commander!

Agree 100% !!! In that platform I'd give up a little bed room for a somewhat reclined seat, more legroom, lower gearing and TURF MODE. Oh yeah.....a center console would be cool too!

Its hard to develop a new product but easy to make improvements. With all the electric models coming the next few years will be interesting. I'm surprised Honda is offering the SE models especially the Talon's. I like Red. The Pioneer 700 really needs some improvements. More power and a better cage then the goofy looking 4 seater. The specs on the 2022 Polaris Ranger EV will be interesting and the new EV Can-am's in the next 5 years.

They cant even keep the "regular" editions produced and shipped so not sure why they want to release a special one right now, maybe on paper only! I was at dealer yesterday, not one Honda anything on the floor and the ship date on my 1000-5 LE is now May 28th and it was supposed to have arrived before the end of 2020. The sales manager did say no asterisk was beside the date for the first time in a year so maybe good sign! i just hope i have it by takeover or will be on Rubicon i guess!

I think you answered your own question. ATV's and SxS's are flying off the shelves. It's a sellers market and they stand to make big money if they can pull it off.

needed a reason to upgrade from my '18 700-4 deluxe and finally got one.... love the color, and with all the accessories I would have gotten anyway is a huge plus.. was looking at the LE for awhile, the paint scheme sold me....local dealer was allocated only 1 and that is the one I locked up!!!

P5 = 50 inch trails, I could see them retiring the P7 long before the P5?
