Looking for my first Honda ATV

[SILVER_ALERT]

Howdy from Oklahoma. Nice looking Pioneer 700. I noticed you had been waiting since Feb. of 21 !!! I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

Thanks for coming back to update your thread after all this time!

Like Deshaun Watson, we all like a happy ending.

My 2009 Arctic Cat Prowler is old & weary, has been a good work vehicle for us. Have decided to get a new Honda but can’t decide between 1-cylinder 700-4 deluxe & twin cylinder 1000-5 deluxe. We are retired so slow & steady for us, not interested in wild & fast riding. is the 1000-5 worth the higher price? Will keep my old Arctic Cat for dirty jobs on the farm hauling stuff & repairing fences in woods & muddy areas. Wife will be primary driver on new Honda.

Hands down the 1000-5. Better investment to me in the long run. You will see many people recommend the 1000 over 700. I will give one example only because it pertains directly to your original question.

You don't have to be a speed demon to want a 1000. If you plan on 30mph ever which most people will at least ride on road to and from riding locations you will appreciate the 1000 hands down. The 700 is almost maxxed at 30mph. The 1000 will nicely cruise without screaming.

I will lastly make an assumption; you are considering the 4 or 5 seaters so I will assume you expect passengers to ride along. The 1000 will give you the power needed to enjoy 4 adults with all picnicing gear needed.

The local Honda dealer called me last week & said a 2023 Pioneer 700-4 deluxe just arrived from the factory. Luckily I was the first on their notify list so now I have it. Also had dealer install a front winch, rear view mirror & extended hard top on it. Still thinking about installing a windshield & sound system. Wife & friends love it, they’re always coming up with reasons to use it. I am enjoying the power steering!

I should have read fully thru the thread before I posted. Congrats on the rig! All Hondas are good Hondas. Don't be caught without one.

If you buy a windshield, make sure it is vented. My P1000 is very uncomfortable in warmer weather with the Honda solid windshield, and I have to remove the doors to get air circulation. It is still hot with the doors off, but it is much better than with doors on.

Hi guy, I had the same issue once I put a windshield on. Take a look at the seizmic vents for about $80 on amazon. They work awesome and you can adjust where they blow. Made a huge difference for us above and beyond deflecting with a heat kit. Turns a solid windshield into a vented.

Finally! Nice looking machine. It's even the right color.

The best thing you can do is to give them both a test ride and try the Yamaha too.

But you meet the nicest people on a honda 😉😎

Well congratulations on a fine, fine machine!! That thing will do anything you need it to do around the farm. Don't be afraid to get it dirty! have your bride get a tow strap and throw it in the back... That way when the Artic Cat craps out, you can call her to come get you! 👍 Seriously, though, I've had both the 700 and 1000 machines and use/used them on my farm and for hunting in the river bottoms of East Texas as well as the South Texas brush country... Neither have ever let me down!

Oh yea, don't forget to go back and edit your profile to show you new ownership!
