I was making a joke towards myself. For smoking mine.My comment was a touche' to JT for his post in my little car thread, don't find it funny or wish anything bad on ANYONE.
Only sensitive at the tip!!I was making a joke towards myself. For smoking mine.
@JTW prolly deserves it. But he's sensitive.
P500's are rock solid. I honestly think I could drag more weight with it than I'd feel comfortable (now) trying w my P1k5.
I got a winch, tho.
In the words of @rocmar It's all good. Lol

Most of us do..Question. If you ran the P1K on low rang when trail riding would that not solve the problem with the cloches? Or on like the P500 u just have to have that speed.
No P1000 for me. The suspension and lack of a locker on the p500 still really annoy me- although I've fixed the suspension on mine. That being said, I've honestly looked at what all the other brands offer, and what the bigger Honda machines offer, and I have no interest- none- in a different machine. You just can't make a big machine smaller, and as far as a cvt- HATE them. If Honda added a torque converter to their DCT so the clutches never have to slip, I would be more on-board with the DCT's, but I still don't want a bigger machine. What I want, is a P500 with OPTIONS, like a bigger twin cylinder engine and a F*@%#*n front locker, and 'turf' mode rear, power steering, etc., not PAINT options. SERIOUSLY Honda, new for 2018 is a 'color'!? I guess I may have to put that 750cc V4 108 h.p. motorcycle engine in my P500 after all.... 42 m.p.h. my A**!!

I agree..By the time they added all that to the P5, the price would get way out of line. The masses are buying the P5 as it is now, and it does anything probably 90% plus of the buyers need it to.
Another major factor is safety. A short coupled, narrow machine that would run 50-60 mph or more would be pretty dangerous.
OPTIONS only drive the price up when you add them. The masses are buying the P500 'as it is now' because they don't have a bloody choice. If they want the stuff I listed- they HAVE to buy a bigger Honda, or one of the zillion choices the competition offers. So, if you ride in a size restricted area, and want the features that are TYPICAL to every other machine made, you HAVE to buy a competitors machine. The p700 has a locker- same center part of the case, different gears, and an additional side piece with guts for the locker. It would require one different axle, and a slight offset in mount location, and two u-joints added to the front driveshaft. I ain't askin for cheap, I'm asking for options. Is an 835 h.p. Dodge Challenger dangerous? Who cares, I have the OPTION to buy it! I was ready to buy a 50" A.C. Wildcat with 60 h.p. and wheelbase is only 11" longer - starts at $16K, so price is NOT the issue. If the P500 had the same equipment for 16K, guess which one I would buy. Wake up Honda- we don't want a bigger machine!!! Think I may have strayed off topic- sorry. PS- the wildcat does 66! mph.

View attachment 48688 This new 700 has me thinking about it...
HaHaNice looking machine other than the cage. I thought the P5 cage was tall and boxey but the P7 and P1 are ugly as hell and definitely need a chop, IMHO.
Sweet!! Pics or it didn't happen!Honda 500 sold and been looking a couple weeks. Picking up replacement tomorrow. Keeping the 700. Replacement is a 1000.
