Can you video and YouTube 0-30 in the auto?
I'd like a 1st person ride along, please.

I'll video it.. might have to text it to you as I haven't done a YouTube video before. What are you looking to see?

Sounds of the transmission and engine. Shift intervals / speeds.

How soon does it get to 5th?
Punching it vs gradually accelerating...

I know a lot has been made about how Honda did the transmission exactly. Just want to see the thing in action, I guess.

It's pretty slick really.. great for cruising and most of your trail riding. You can still manually shift even when it's in auto. I found myself occasionally helping it out by down shifting to stay off the brake. More technical stuff is yet to be decided, but I'll play with that more tomorrow in the day light.

After riding tonight.. it really is pretty awesome. I would highly suggest the 17 auto!

How does the suspension feel?

Mudman seems to approve of the auto mode.

Only a matter of time before he posts a video of how it does "in the butter" I assume.

Answered my next question. Awesome!

It's a better ride I think.. it's softer.

 

[Montecresto]

Congratulations Monte!!! Hey I may have missed it but are you keeping the 500

Oh yes, and I can already tell you that the P5 is the superior trail machine.

 

[Montecresto]

Very nice, I'm jealous too.
And it starts all over again...

Thanks trigger. Not going to be doing the mods to this that I did to the P5.

That's exactly my request.
Thanks @scottn57

Well with all this new info about the 17's I guess we might as well get started figuring out how to add the auto mode to our old outdated 16's and 15's.

If it's simple and inexpensive, I would probably do it.

You really like the 700 though ?
