Pioneer 520 or can am defender or cf moto uforce

[Lenny]

I have a pioneer 520 and before that a pioneer 500. I do like them but lately have been getting the bug for a larger machine. I don't care for the 3 speed transmission in the P 700 and the P 1000 is out of my price range. So my buddies have a can am defender hd 7 and another buddy has the cf moto uforce 1000. They are nice looking machines with lots of room. My problem is trading my Honda for a cf moto or even a can am seems a bit foolish to me. I'm concerned about reliability. What do you guys think.

I think you would be a fool to get rid of a Honda for any China made junk.

Id just save extra for the p1000. May take longer but worth it.

fixed it for ya!

Stay away from China Joe commie made junk! The Canned ham is a rubber band drive and U might need hearing aids after a yr of driving that hot box. Like stated above, get u a piggy bank and save for a P1 or buy one used

scour f-book marketplace, in the northeast here, many 1000's, under 1K miles, some with accessories well under $20k, I would have no issue buying used these days, if machine, owners house, vehicles, etc. look well kept, etc.... low low risk and save many thousands

you may have to burn some fuel, but some really good low mile machines out there.

Deep down I knew it would be a bad move to trade the honda for either one of those machines. I just wanted other opinions. The P 520 is staying for now and probably for a very long time.

Keep the honda, in the long run youll be happer !

My son has a Can Am Commander and it didn't come with doors. Can Ams are made in Canada I think. I would keep the 520 and save up for a Pioneer 1000.

If you want something besides a honda I would look at the wolverine. You can get it in a 850 and it will be better than the commander h7 at about the same price. The 3sp on the Pioneer 700 works better than people give it credit for

The only machine with the same or better quality than the Honda, is Yamaha.
