P500 Update on the 17 p500

[rocmar]

I can say:::
I love my p5
just the way it's
Turned out.
For wat we use
it for...there's nothing
BETTER out there.

Maybe if I could drive more
than one at a time...I'd think
about it.
Haven't fingered it out yet

You really like the 700 though ?

The 2017 700 is probably better with the manual mode for trail riding. But yes, it's nice, and will be fine for working out of. The three speed automatic transmission is really cool. It doesn't have the problem with heat coming through the seat that the P5 does, and it's pretty quiet. I hate the cup holders location and will be doing something about that.

 

[Montecresto]

Mmm hmmm.

Lol.

 

[rlutech]

JTW, what do you think of those Bighorns on the stock wheels?

 

[sthomp54]

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.

That automatic downshift seems like it would be annoying. Does it really do that in manual mode as well?

No one ended up with the pea soup green!

They did fine.. I have 26x9x12's on all four corners and hopefully will have my aluminum 5+2 wheels soon. It's a little too narrow with the stock wheels in my opinion..

My dealer has one out there but it's such a hideous green. Duck s***, not pea soup. Can't imagine anyone wants it.

Yeah.. I'm happy how mine turned out!

 

[Montecresto]

I actually would take it way b4 the old Olive Drab. Never could figure out how that color was so popular.

I don't like it either.

I hadn't gotten a good look at the new green until I saw the video mudman did. I agree, it is pretty horrible for a green. At least the old green was like an army green, but I was always Honda red on atvs, and now camo, cuz camo is awesome. At least as long as it lasts.

 

[trigger]

I hear ya. Man, we're gonna get some flack for sayin it

They stopped making it because it was cutting into their camo sales. When I bought mine, there was only one in the state and the dealer wouldn't come off of it. The day I bought mine I told the sales guy that I was just looking and pricing them, unless he could find me a green one, I'd buy it on the spot. He had one shipped in from Ohio.
I would've preferred black but it's still better than that pea green...or red.

"Or Red"??? Dude!!!! Honda red.

I could see that being the case. Army green still blends in a bit out in the woods. I caught hell for years for being on red machines when we are hunting from my brothers. Almost went green, but really wanted camo so I just bit the bullet and paid the premium for it.

Lol! What, just an opinion.

 

[Montecresto]

Its all good buddy. I see you just had to get that dig in on RED, lol.

 

[Shadesmn]

Come on @trigger, Honda red is sacred. That's like a desecration of some kind to poo poo it.

Lol, he's a big kidder, I know he means no disrespect.

They started rippin on my green @Shadesmn, couldn't just sit there and take that.
I actually like all the Honda colors...except the red!
