I ride with rzr's and can am's and have had zero issues keeping up with them while riding through woods and hill climbs.

Well I am a couple of hours away from making the Jump. I picked up a trailer today and I have met with the local dealers and reach an agreement. I will be picking up my 1K5D toward the end of the day!!

Stay tuned for pics tomorrow as it will be after dark tonight. Going to have to have a Thanksgiving ride this weekend.

The thing about the p1k5 is the width it's a lot wider then most think. A friend of mine bought one his trailer was too narrow to take it home. With that in mind I bought a double axle 7x16 side load for my atv from Triple Crown for $1599 the front side rails do double duty as ramps for the side load. I will post a pic of it tomorrow and the rear gate lays flat.

Well I just got home and tucked my Pioneer 1k-5 into the garage. Had to run the wife and son up the street first in it and they were excited. I think I really lucked out on getting my trailer as a funny thing happen while I was looking at them.
I knew I wanted a 77"x12' and when looking at the single axle I was just not comfortable about the weight as if you go by the limit and the Honda weighing 1700lb it was going to be right there but I have seen plenty of people posting and showing theirs on a like trailer. The sales man (kid just back from college break) said they had a tandem axle 77"x12' as we were walking over to see it another sales man but a sold sign on it. Long story short I ended up getting a 14' tandem with breaks for less than what the 12' would have been. With electronic breaks and it is built like a tank.

Can't believe I just talked more about the trailer than the p1k - but that will come :)

I was able to go to Rush Springs today for a couple of hours. It was nice as there were only 2 others out there and that gave me a chance to explore at my pace. A lot of fun and my six year old said it was Awesome!

Thanks @Tigermark - and if the offer still stand I would love to meet up at Rush Springs sometime to see what this is really capable of. I stuck to the easy trails today and know matching some of the trails to the map (granted a lot are not on there) was challenging.

Yea it was a lot of fun - I do see what people are talking about with the seat heat but it was nice today

Congrats on your new P1K. Any single 3500# axle trailer will haul it fine.
