P700 Pioneer 700

About how many miles could you expect to get from a 700 with regular maintenance

That’s a loaded question lol. It’s like when customers ask me how long will my furnace last or when will it die? If I had the exact answers I’d be rich and own my private island in the tropics lol.

All depends on how you ride it as well. A lot of factors go into that and unknowns. but should last a long time if u take care of it with normal ware and tear. Why you ask, do have one? Got any pics?

Just curious. Mine is a 700-2 and am very happy with it. No p/s though. That thing has taken me into some places that I never thought it would go. Very impressed.

Like he said, kinda hard to answer. There have been several that have over 20,000 on them with no issues.

Not exactly following the original question...all the 700's that I've see have a sorta horse shoe shaped pipe welded on the roll bar on each side of the seat and the only reason I can think that it was put there was because lawyers told the engineers/designers to put it there to keep folks from falling out on hard turns. I have realized that I am not as nimble as I used to be and that damn thing is in my way getting into the driver's seat...not so much getting out but I really wish it wasn't there. I have the technology and skill to remove it. Is this something that gets in the way of others or am I the only person that finds this awkward thing sticking out a problem?? Have other less nimble folks removed this thing? In full disclosure...I am not a lawyer nor is it a trick question.

2,200 miles and no issue thus far! It does what I need.....

I think you can swap that bar out for a pre 2017 style, it was shaped different and less intrusive

My 2014 is different and I like it much better. Doesn't get in my way. I would cut it off if it was.

I think I had a dream last night that someone sneaked into my shop and cut the damn thing off...THANKS...whom ever you were!

 

[lowrider]

Strangely enough it turns out it wasn't a dream after all.

 

[DG Rider]

I had a 2014 with the old style. Looking at the new one I picked up back in the summer, I thought it would be a real pain, but honestly, I don't even notice it.
Best bet is to see for yourself.

That's what I thought in the show room but once I got it home it became a horse of a different color. I've been laying out a switch panel on the dash an d have been getting in and out a lot...I like it better in the present configuration.

Glad it worked out well for you DG!!
