We did it, we got our 2015 P5, a pretty yellow one Will post a pic tomorrow. It's really a fun little machine. Need to get a roof cover for it and a windshield would be nice too. Looking online for the lowest price on accessories. I need to do something about the seat belt though, it cuts into my neck, very uncomfortable.

The 2015 and 2016 are identical with the exception of the colors, of course... Honda just announced some changes to the 2017, but those won't hit the dealerships until later next month. So right now, your bike is just like everyone else's... With exception to the aftermarket additions, of course!!!
I, like you, bought a 2016 TODAY. What kinds of things are you planning to do with your new bike... And to your new bike!!!?

Just my opinion....spend some extra $$$ and get a hardcoat windshield!! I went with the cheaper lexan windshield when I purchased my P5 and recently bought the hardcoat....no scratches yet.

I got these on amazon,$ 5.00 for 2 .I thought they were $5.00 each so I ordered 2 .Now I have some for the rear seats also.

We will be we will be taking it with us when we go fishing and camping to get around. We live on 10 acres out in the desert, so lots of open space to ride and enjoy our new toy.

Seat belt cuts into my neck too. I don't much like it.

Let us both be grateful that we don't have the 2017 iteration of Honda's pre-capitulation to the oppressive nanny-state. 15 mph unless you are compliant, idiot subject of the state!

You must do as you are told! And you WILL like it!

We can go as fast as we want, unbound! For now.

Do those just Velcro on or do you have to do some disassembly to install them?
