The Pioneer 1000 is a different machine then what alot of people are used to. It will take time for the users to get accustomed to it, whether its starting, shifting, paddle shift braking, manual vs auto when to use Hi or Lo etc.. If you dont ride much over 35 mph, Low manual is awesome, wanna go faster throw it into High. Wanna burn thru brakes (or clutches!): never use the paddle shifters.
The abiity to shift 12 F#*kin gears is the best asset of this machine. The general ATV SxS world is soo dumbed down because Polaris made everything automatic!! So any idiot can jump on a machine and hammer the throttle, if it breaks regardless of how sophisticated it is its the manufactures fault. Maybe the DCT (which has been around for years) is too smart for the SxS world? What will we do when the 2020 Pioneer has a seamless transmission and park assist!!

The price tags of these machines are rising just as fast as new truck prices and the technology is changing just as fast.Whether your a daily driver, a weekend warrior, a mudder or a rock crawler for a manufacture to build something that can please everyone is nearly impossible. Just 2 years ago I thought a SxS with 3 spds and a torque converter was the greatest thing since sliced bread, forked over 11K and said thats the most I'll ever pay for a "glorified four wheeler". 2 yrs later its 17K 12spds,dual clutches and paddle shifting!! Is the SxS world evolving faster then its users?

I've thought the same thing. I'm trying to figure out how to not buy another one in a year or two.

I bought two pioneers in 2015 and I can't keep spending like that. Honda has to slow down because I'm too weak to say no!

Yea I,m sure your right. It is a friggin awesome machine and I just have to deal with something new and totally awesome. It definitely is hot and once I get more time to enjoy it hunting and with my family on camping trips I will wonder why I waited so long? Thanks for the reality check. Will have to get used to all those gear choices, learning curve, think time is on my side. Sure do like looking at it and adding more gizmos, just added a new a- oohga horn. :)

I don't own a p1k,m nor will i ever. it does have some features that I would like on my 700, but the p1k just seems to have to much stuff going on for me. I like simple, put the drive selector on the big D and drive is just so much easier that figuring out , do I want this mode or that mode, manual or automatic and so on. I know its a Honda and all, but in my eyes all the extra bells and whistles are just another thing to have mess up on you when your miles from nowhere.

Just like the first king quads. Hi,lo,super low, 2wd, 4wd, diff lock, all 3 ranges affected the reverse as well. I had a 95. And it was awsome. That little 300 could do anything.

as a matter of fact I don't, someone asked for opinions, I gave him mine.
Im just plain around guys no (snark) comments!!! I had to look that up it says "Combination of "snide" and "remark". Sarcastic comment(s).
Also snarky (adj.) and snakily (adv.) then I looked up (snide)derogatory or mocking in an indirect way. for the record I will never ask someone if they have a flip phone again. Ill have u know my Dad still has a flip phone and I truly respect him for sticking to his guns and screwing technology!! LOVE U GUYS TRUELY I DO A I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL WRONG DOING!!!!!

sometimes technology takes a crap on us I hope this isn't one of those times. I want to bring something up prior to buying pioneer 1000-5 I bought this!! In this case Honda had contracted a part for the transmission from a company and there were major problems so they immediately halted production and Issued a recall on all that had been produced, sent out new transmissions for honda to install on all that were still for sale and fixed all that had been sold. Honda has always been a reputable company and I have no reason to believe that will stop now!! all new 2015 snow blower design available again in late 2016

All right, I,m old school, don,t do much tweeting or other new age stuff, still like ro call,,speak to someone in person to get real story. What does Lmfao mean? I think lol means lots of luck? My wife thought it meant lots of love but I told here that would not make any sense in this forum, these are all no BS guys?
