On December 23, 2014, I purchased a new 2015 Honda Pioneer 500. I have owned a couple of different Honda three wheelers over the years and in 2004 purchased my first 4 wheeler, a Suzuki Eiger. I really enjoyed that machine but three years ago I sold it to my brother. In June 2014 I purchased a 2004 Honda Foreman 450 but it needed lots of work. I made all repairs and it was a really solid machine. With all the trips to the local Honda dealership I must have walked past the Pioneer several times. I know a few people that purchased them and told me they are great. Well on December 23 I went to the Honda dealership to pick up parts that were ordered for my old Foreman, and that afternoon I came home with the Pioneer. For me "Red" was always Honda so I chose red. I upgraded the tires to 26" ITP mud lites and they were mounted to the factory wheels. Hardcoat windshield, rear basket, and hard roof was also installed. I installed a rear view mirror also, one from Cabelas that's actually sold for side mirrors and it works great for a rear view.
So so far I am really enjoying the Pioneer 500. A few days after that I purchased a Warn 3000lbs winch and Strong Made winch mount. That same day I returned the 3000 and upgraded to the 4000, it was less then 50.00 price difference. Well a few days later I tried to mount it and discovered that the 4000 will not fit on the lower mount. I returned the lower mount and purchased a KFI mount. I did not get a chance to install it yet.
