Pioneer! yes or no?

[4trax4ever]

well I once was a sport atv rider, but recently I grenade'd my motor and I have always wanted to get a side by side to use for just a little work but more for play. Im a di-hard Honda fan! so Im asking advice does the pioneer satisfy your adrenaline needs or should I be thinking of getting a 700xx. Im only 25 but I think and act like an old man I feel like driving around in the mudd with a cooler full and seeing what kind of crazy s*** I can do with a sxs could be a ball! but I also still love to go fast and rip through tight trails as well crawl around on big dirt/rock/snow piles and log piles. This is where Im hesitant because I dont believe I could fill that void with a pioneer!

so Ideas, comments or advice?

It doesn't sound like a Pioneer is the SxS for you.

 

[Hondasxs]

Yep, Sounds like you are waiting on the Pioneer Sport!

And so are we! Cant wait.

Though the Pioneer will do many of the things on your list it is not a speed demon. If you are looking for hill jumper or anything of the such then I suggest you wait for the sport!

I agree with the the first two. A sport would be what you're looking for. While the Pioneer is capable it's not designed for jumping and setting your hair on fire.

Now, if you need a lot of pull to drag that 2000lb Polaris back to the truck. The the Pioneer is for you.

+2. Speed it does not have. Reliability and strength, of course.

They are now saying they are going to Release all 4 Honda sxs's at one time. Only time will tell. I like my pioneer so far its done everything I wanted to do only think I wish was different was the Beer holders on the dash instead of in the doors.

I totally agree! When I test drove one I didnt see any beer holders until the dealer pointed them out! I tried putting one in there but I didnt like it so i just held on to it!

Beer holders were designed for stealth, like all things Honda safety first!

I almost think something like this will work.

All i can say is.. i have taken my pioneer thru some nasty stuff and most of the time i make it just fine ( by nasty stuff i mean if you step out you will be in about 14 to 18 in of mud). I have buried it 3/4 up the doors and had my cooler floating in the front. It ran the entire time. once i was winched out it kept going for more. I live in Florida and we have trails and lots of mud and water.

With a couple mods bigger tires this thing will do alot. With the reliability and being the work horse that it is, i see many good things in the future.

I agree with the others, I had a RZR and loved it for the adrenaline rush of the speed and crazy stuff I could do with it. However, I also got really tired of walking back to my truck and trailer (clutch and belt issues). With all that power came reliability issues! Hopefully Honda will come out with a sport model that gives us adrenaline junkies the best of both worlds (reliability and power). In the interim, I've grown to really like my reliable and versatile Pioneer.
