Honda can't get enough units out to us dealers now, they aren't going to be doing any clearance stuff soon.

I believe they had special financing last month, not sure if it's still avaliable.

Every little bit helps right ! , I found a couple machines local to me but I figured in general stock maybe hard to come by still .

I would think sales would be slowing a bit now with the interest rates being so high. Def shop around.

Yeah, but this is prime riding season now and inventory levels are really low (at least in my area).

I'm sure they are everywhere, we sold over 70 new units in May which is pretty damm good for us.

That's 2017 levels of inventory for my old dealer. We took every left over 2016 Pioneer (1000, 700 and 500) that our district had.

It looks like a good time to buy a Yamaha RMAX, but I don't see any of the 850 Wolverine.

List your area you are willing to drive to and some on here can keep a lookout on machines close to you with decent prices.

Nothin like an all gear drive machine with a dual clutch paddle shifted trans. There is nothing like it on the market. 25000 otd is great . Do it, You will not regret it.

Along with that complication comes more technical problems, plus the CVT on the RMAX works better in most off-road conditions.

To the OP, do not buy a machine for the transmission, try them both and see what you like.

CVTs do not have the precise control or the efficient power output a manual gear box has. Much easier to swamp an air cooled belt box too. Why do you think Yamaha puts a manual in the YXZ.

This video seems to be an honest comparison between the Pioneer 1000 and the Rmax

There are many Honda products in my household.

Originally wanted to buy a P520, but couldn't find one at the time, which pushed me into buying the Yamaha Wolverine 850 X2.

Honda did me a big favor. The Wolverine, although more expensive than the P520 (17k), is superior in every way. Quality, ride, comfort and value, way above what Honda offered.

I get the love of Honda but, if you don't see everything out there, you don't know what you might be missing.
