I'm in Kentucky. My dealer is not large or in a large town. I called her so early in the 2016 model year that she had not even heard Honda was going to release a new 1000. I had really been looking for a SxS but I was NOT going to buy a CVT. That brought me to the Pioneer and here to these forums. I almost bought the 700, but I hooked up just exactly at the time when rumors were flying and taking shape into facts.
We kinda struck up a bit of a relationship due to my enthusiasm and over time she promised me the first one. It turn out as with many dealers, they are only allocated 1 the during the first shipment. I was really looking for the 3 EPS but since the 5 deluxe is the only one coming out initially and red is AOK by me, I decided to buy.
