Observation from my ride this morning: My riding buddy and I went out early today and hit some 4x4 stuff before work. The hills we were riding were pretty steep and loose, big rocks along the way, etc. I spent the past decade riding quads and I love them. But this morning we switched and I was so happy to be back in the Pioneer. Honestly, the Pioneer felt much more planted and stable, and perhaps it was the weight. I felt uneasy doing the serious 4x4 work on the Grizzly 450, even though it's set up nicely. But I felt perfectly at home on the same trails in Rambo (P500). I'm loving being able to take family along with me on my rides. Just my thoughts today. On the flip side, if I was headed to the dunes tomorrow...give me a Raptor 700R.

Love my P5! At 70 plus years old I sold my 2 atv's and said that if I couldn't drive the truck and walk I didn't need to go. One hunting season later I had the proof that I wasn't the brightest light bulb in the box. After 2 very short talks with the wife I kind of got the idea she wasn't all that happy about the idea. About one hour after the last talk she (the wife) walked out of the bedroom with her purse on her shoulder. I ask "where you going", she says "I'm going to buy you that side x side. Do you want to go?" I say "Oh hell yeah". Love my P5! Any regrets? Nope not a one. Did I tell you I love my P5?
Smart wife!

Moved from a Polaris sportsman to the P500. No regrets. Have found in a couple cases an atv would have been easier to navigate with but time will tell.
