Price can be a concern, but I think content relative to price is what gives the customer value. The P500 has a low entry price but has low content. Those that are good with a basic machine find value in the P500. I think Honda needs to offer a high content 50" machine at a higher price point if they have hope of appealing to the more broad 50" market. Like the poster above said, guys want what they want and are willing to pay for it. It is fine offering an entry level machine, but you have to follow that up with full content machines to keep everyone interested.

It gives you the opportunity. ..to build wat ya want...
alot of guys on this forum. ..have done so.....VERY IMPRESSIVE. .....
look at the market...p500 your best bang for your
buck...

Some guys are happy with the P500, I am just not one of them and neither are a lot of others in the 50" market. The high content that I am talking about is the kind you cant easily bolt on like more suspension travel, more power (at least 700 cc), lockers, and auto tranny (like Rubicon). Call it at the P5 PLUS.

That's why they make chocolate and vanilla. Of the many appealing things about the P-500 is the standard tranny which is vastly superior to the automatic when negotiating the tight rough trails, and particularly when going down very steep trails where you don't have to wear out the breaks, almost never need them. My Po Po goes through breaks way more than this P-5 will.
