I Took the Plunge. New 2017 Honda Pioneer 500

100acre

Adventurist
Today I purchased a brand-new 2017 Honda pioneer 500 from Greenville Tennessee for $8600 out the door. That is such an absolute phenomenal price. Most of the other dealers within a 200 mile radius were trying to get upwards of $10,000. I'm so very excited to get this machine and to be able to use it to expand my explorations in to the west and other places around the country.

Nice! SXS are great exploration machines that also serve so many utilitarian purposes.
 
I got my new Honda Signature Phantom Camo Bimini Top today. It looks pretty good. I'm thinking about Hydro Dipping the hood and fenders or looking into a vinyl wrap in a similar camo pattern. Honda wanted $600 for the camo scheme on their plastics. The Bimini looks similar to a lighter version of Mossy Oak or Realtree.

I looked at the 570 but my knee kept hitting the shifter on the floor but I still wanted a smaller vehicle to deal with the 50" restricted trails.
