Thinking about the P500 likely to get so updated love from HONDA in the future and that the ATV Foreman Rubicon with the same 475 CC motor is available with the following features not on the 2015/2016 P500:

5 Speed DCT with Hi / Lo Range transmission and full differential locker
Bump top Speed from 40 to 50 mph.
Power Steering
Improved suspension travel from 5.9" F/R to 7.25" & 8.5" F/R

Technically this should be a simple production line upgrade.

Make your wants known vote for all that apply multiple selections allowed.

How about an actual bed instead of that pitiful rack. It seems like everyone is building boxes and carriers just to make it do what nearly every other side by side does straight from the factory.

I would love to see a high/lo range transfer case. With that, you could keep the gearing already in place, (or even lower it for rock crawling), and have a higher ratio for "road travel". That, coupled with more suspension travel, would really increase the capabilities of an already fine machine.

I would like to see larger fuel tank 45l,diff lock and a back up recoil starter for emergency use like on some atv's and keep the gearing low or have a high low transmission.I ride in remote areas and only off road so these are useful things too me.OH ya better skid plates and rear lighting for backing up or working on things in low light. I feel these are fairly simple up grades that would attract a lot of buyers in northern Canada or US,farmers and hunters.

When will we know kinda what the 2017 options will be like? only reason I ask is because im 99% sure I am buying one of these machines this year. So not sure if I should wait and see what new options 2017's have or hopefully find a new discounted 2015/16.

Thanks
