Thinking of trading

[JTW]

So... not gunna lie. I find myself riding harder than I thought I would and I really don't like having to push the p5 that hard. I also think a little larger would be good for the family and the little time suckers!! I'm considering trading for a 4 seat 700, 5-1000 or possibly a wolverine and adding a rear seat. Let me here your thoughts!

awwwww i would miss you and your spark
... I can see it would be nice for your family tho to have more seating. Family fun time is worth the change.

I think your only option is a 1000. The 700 is ok, but if your looking for speed and power look elsewhere. Not to say it want get the job done. It will, and will do it all over again and again if need be.

Can't speak for the wolverine. I do like it's style though. Would love to see this concept from Honda in the future.

If your not limited to trail width then take a ride on the 1000. You'll love it.

The thing I hate the most about all this is all the time and $ you spent on accessories for the 500.
Good luck on your decision.

I understand @JTW
Right now you've got a RARE 17. So if you're looking to sell, keep talking it up!

If take home test drives were a thing, we wouldn't rely on the internet product reviews... good luck!

Yup.. I'm around 12k and need more to get it to where I want it to perform.. that's why I'm considering a move now. Regardless if it's a 1000 or a wolverine I'll see you all at the take over! I really like the seating of the 1000 and the transmission md features..

Well I haven't done it yet.. just contemplating since riding yesterday. Wife and kids stayed home while I was riding.. with just me and the guys I push the little machine more than I like.

Yeah.. there's soooo much I like about it but I can't help but think I should have bought a larger machine now that I've actually had some seat time and realize some of the reasons I bought a small machine aren't as necessary or important as I thought they'd be.

BOOOOOO!!!

What are you, a f*cking ghost?? Lmao

Ever heard of the Benjamin Franklin close?
List the positives...
List the negatives...
Longest list wins.

Come ride with us on November 12th, 18th, or 19th and you'll be able to be around P700's and P1000's.

I'll let you drive mine with me sitting next to you.....armed

Oh yeah, I meant to say we will be riding near Winchester TN. Not terribly far for you but we will have a big group of forum members.

Oh I analyzed the s*** out of it before I purchased.. I just didn't realize where some of those priorities would actually fall.

We're leaving the weekend before thanksgiving but the 12th might work.

Lmao.. I appreciate the offer! Anything you don't like about it? Do you ever find the size cumbersome?

 

[joeymt33]

I know there are two different mind sets. I came from the off road truck world so this is a lot smaller.

Also, we don't have 50" trails around here. If someone invites me to take the narrow trails, I'll bring the Foreman.

Come on down and follow us or just leave the P5 at home and make an easy trip.

we don't have 50" trails either.. I've come to realize I would be better off with a 4 wheeler and a larger sxs than expecting to mesh both machines into one. I don't usually make these types of errors but oh well.

Hindsight is always 20/20 .We have all done things that we regretted later,If I were you I would look into the 1000 or the 700.These are the times for you to be spending with your young family ,your family can't enjoy it unless they are involved. If it means taking a loss on your 500 so be it.

Yep.. it got me yesterday when I was out and riding with my buddies and the girls were at home. The 500 isn't as sporty as I would like if it's only going to be me.. and truthfully it worries me a little having the girls in the back. I just feel like I'm pouring money into a machine that won't be what I want and by the time I spend all that on it I should just buy a more suited bike.
I'm thinking it will either be the 1000 or the wolverine and add a seat.

I have a p700-4 and love it, but if I was looking for one I would go with the 1000, these machines are awesome

Does anyone have any first hand experience with both the 1000-5 and the wolverine?
