@JTW, is yours going to be ready by the takeover? Can't wait to ride in it. You know everyone is going to want to see it.

IT'S A NOVELTY ITEM
I'm with you. I don't get it Honda?!
I thought a 50" machine was the whole point of the P500

Wait... how wide is yours Roc? 84" or something?

I guess folded this fits in the back of a pick up, but still... Idk

Anyways, I don't understand the thought process behind this. Surely Honda has something else in mind, but I don't see it.

I don't get it either. Kinda defeats the purpose of a 50" wide machine ! This would never work in the narrow trials and places I ride. I agree it does look dangerous too. I would have rather seen a roll cage around the rear cargo rack, and fold down seats. Really and truthfully, it's a 500cc class SxS, it should really only be designed for two people. Buy one of the larger machines to haul 4 people.

I hope it's in on time for the takeover, for your sake. It will definitely be the showstopper, and the most talked about SxS of the entire event! It is very unique, and the kids will think it's the coolest thing they've ever seen.

I will say I'm diehard Honda, and I've never bought another brand since 1979. I normally see the genius and innovation when Honda designs something new. I think the concept of the Pioneer 500, with paddle shifters is an example of that.

However, on this particular side cart, I just can't invision this as being something that will be really practical for a widespread audience? Like I said, on one hand it's a 50" SxS, making it very maneuverable and able to just about fit in areas only ATV's can go, but in the same breath, it can transform wider than the widest SxS on the market.

For those who ride in wide open spaces, need to carry 3 people, and still have a need to hit the narrow trials on other outings, I guess this is the ticket. As far as myself, I was kind of waiting on the announcement of the 2018 upgrades, it sort of makes my decision easy, to buy a 2017 model, before they are all gone.

Anyhow, hope it comes in for you, and anxious to get some feedback on it, as I'm still having a hard time getting the full visual on it.

Good luck!

It's too bad this just looks like an April fools joke, I'd be interested in it
