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

[trigger]

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!

Even though it's having major problems way before it should?

Just..,Goggled it..
typed Honda 10
...& Honda 1000 clutch failures..popped up
...so it's more than a few...not a mechanical
guy..know basics..
high gear+ rough terrain = Burnt clutch
....many read. The same info..
THIS WAS ALL FROM HONDA OWNERS..
all covered by warranty. Fixed..with same parts
that failed..
Creeping along is not recommended on the p1000
First blamed riders...then terrain...
believe most are fixed by warranty

 

[rocmar]

I've been looking at 1,000's really hard.

Might wanna....read some reviews...first
just sayin

 

[rocmar]

Not giving props..to any
RUBBERBAND machine
...but they get fixed in
..the field in 39 min
..for $50....
& YOU ROLL..
not that way...with
pk 1000
just sayin

 

[rocmar]

It happens sometimes.. but yeah! It got me back even when it was broke. Honestly, if it had a mechanical e-brake it wouldn't have happened. My brakes went out and I had to use the throttle to hold it on a mountain I could barely walk up on all fours! The clutches can certainly be improved but it's a ridiculously awesome machine!
