After riding in a 4 seater general we thought long and hard about trading the 1000-5 on one the ride is plush. The seats are plush it has a few issues the one we rode in likes to run hot and one rear door pops open destroyed one so far. We couldn't come to term with losing our down payment and accessories. My wife's family owns it we have access to use it but now that I lifted my Pioneer I am loving it.

Polaris did a good job with the General. the air intakes are up under the hood. There was a loss of steering recall so make sure yours is ok. I wanted a General but just hate belt drive so bought the Yamaha YXZ. Honda will have sport models this year for sure.

Went and bought a Polaris General premium wife's idea like it so far it's not what you ride just ride!!
I think I might have found a victim to buy my Pioneer 500 also. I've had mine over 3 years and it literally has 1 mile on the odometer, same as the day I picked it up. Figured if I haven't driven it yet, there's a slim to none chance I ever will. Bought it just cuz I had to have one, and actually have not had a single use for it in all this time. Then also I work at a Honda shop, and am so tired of being around these things.
Everybody thinks it's like a dream job getting to be around new toys all day long everyday. Well I can tell them it ain't so . :eek:

He had to go and get a polar shift... it’s because living in Lake City where life is just a pity because everything is really Shi*** ! Ha I used to live there back in 1984-86 going to school for forestry at LCCC. Spent my formative years there fresh out of a Tampa high school. I loved riding my bike in Osceloa NF all the time. Are SXS’s legal to ride in the forest? Is Ronnies bar still across hwy 90, and is the horrible aircraft paint removal airport still there? Those chemicals burned....that dorm got closed down....anyway I hope the new machine doesn’t loose a belt next to some big nest of canebrakes. We used to eat them and make belts and hat bands from their skins. Sorry for the rant but thanks for the memories. What about the Fu-King Chinese restaurant, is it still there? Never forget that place!

Can you ride sxs there in Osceola? My family is in Tampa. It’d be nice to get some trail time in along the trip down there next time.

Huck, I will owe you dinner at the monthly guys night out dinner if there is no 2019 Honda Sport Model this year. Your right we don't have a lot of time left and 3 more of the guys turn 80 this year. Quin and Walt are in their 90's now. My dad died at age 97, T-Bob's dad was 97, and Rays' dad was 103. We can only hope.
