P500 Who's the next p5 owner...to go...Bigger...700/1000 ?

[iowaguy]

I'll never get rid of mine. Might buy a bigger machine in the future for special rides but Old Ironsides isn't going anywhere. If I were in the market now though, can't say it would end up being the P1 either. Hate to say it but Can Am has been catching my eye lately.

LOL,I didn't know if you were talking about your wife or your 500 in that first sentence.We also like the Can am, one of the couple's we go riding with just got a commander ,we are just waiting to see how it will be in the heat, the drink holder is right above the engine and the bottom of their drinks get really hot to touch.

Lol, I see where you could have thought that now! Nope, just like the P5 she's small and I don't want anything bigger.

Oh I get it... if it weren't for wanting kids I wouldn't have gotten remarried. They're a difficult thing and completely irrational.. but a good woman is worth her weight in gold. And if you don't believe me... go thru a divorce. That's about what it will cost ya!

My luck, I would love it and I have the credit to buy whatever I want, and that's not always a good thing.

Our thinking on this is if the drinks get really hot will the inside of the cab also get hot when riding in the summer months, also took a look at the Yamaha Wolverine ,but for now we are happy with the 500 ,waiting to see what the new Honda has to offer when it comes out but I know it will be more than I want to spend.

We did the wolverine. ....
....makes ya go...
ummmm Mmmm

I still love the Honda 1000... even though I have toasted clutches right now!
But if I didn't want/need the 5 seater.. I probably wouldn't buy a Honda. There are other good/better options out there in a two seat configuration!

If I wanted a 700 or 1000 I would have bought a 700 or 1000. Nothing against them they just dont fit my needs.

That's what I'm saying, it wasn't lack of money or space or anything, I found it to be the best sxs available for what I wanted to do with it. The biggest thing for me was something small and nimble for plowing that would keep the snow off of me. Being able to take a passenger trail riding with me was the bonus.

That's exactly where I am but I'm thinking I'll keep the P5 and add a Wolverine or a Talon (for those of us who believe.)

Yeah right.... you couldn't handle the power!

 

[rocmar]

When we purchased our p5..
it was the only sxs..that was
under 10k....carried 2 riders...
fit in a pick up bed.....3 yrs
later...there's more options..
.....

 

[rocmar]

HaHa..
I'd rather ride all year...at
the power the p5 has...then
be left...high & dry.....stranded
cause my clutch burnt up....
P5 rides again...& again.....&
Some more...
JTW..let's ride...
oh..sorry..yours is broke...=
POWERLESS
