Thinking of trading

[joeymt33]

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

I think @500 does. Maybe he I'll chime in.

Have you ridden with any Joey? Curious if any of you guys have any thoughts on the matter.

Sorry bud, I do not. I've heard good things about them but I don't plan on trading my P1000.

I wouldn't try to add seats to the wolverine . bed is too small. Would be really unsafe. I test drove one on a decent course with no supervision ; ) it's not a power house . a pioneer 1000 will smoke it . however the wolverine rides really good , better than the pioneer . your not gaining alot jumping from the 500 to that, still only a 2 seater. 1000-5 is your best bet. otherwise you will kick yourself and loose more time and money. if you want sporty get a wildcat sport and keep the 500. the wildcat sport are on craigslist brand new around 10g.

I'm with Plumber, adding seats us dangerous if the vehicle isn't designed for it. I also learned that in many states, including Wisconsin, it's actually illegal. Go with the 1000-5. Your family deserves to get to go with you

Not really going for sport.. just better suspension for riding a little harder.

I agree.. this was actually the route I was considering with the wolverine. But considering the 1000 is only 2 inches wider I'm not sure it's worth while. Just adding another $1500 which puts the wolverine at about $15,500 then.

Twice the weight with twice the suspension travel

Like red wagon to a Cadillac.

Any of you guys with a 1000 wish you had a smaller ride at times?

 

[Delton]

I think @500 does. Maybe he I'll chime in.

Speaking of such, where has 500 been? Haven't heard much from him lately. I think it's kinda funny some people with 500 want more room for family and some with 1000 are considering a 500 for personal space (like myself).

 

[Delton]

Any of you guys with a 1000 wish you had a smaller ride at times?

Yes lol but I'd NEVER consider getting rid of my 1000.

 

[Manwell]

Good luck with your decision, smart to make a move and get the family more involved, this I'm positive of! Buy all the machine you can afford would be my suggestion!

 

[Hondasxs]

Agreed.
My 1000 is too wide for several local riding spots. There all atv trails. I take my atv.
I knew that from the start though. I would not sale my 1000 for this reason though.

Nope. Just like anything, you learn to adapt and it becomes second nature.

@joeymt33
I do. I'll be glad to offer my experience with both, and I also owned a P500 as well. I can answer questions on the pros and cons of all 3 if you have any specific comparisons you would like.
