Nice! I see yours has a bed in it, was that an add on from honda or did you buy it somewhere else? Would like to hear a review when you ride it some.

Nice I like it...narrow so it will fit down trails nicely. That's the only thing I would like to have changed on my Gator 825i..it's too wide....56" would have been just right for trail riding and work mix.

I bought the Bed (they call it a cargo tray) from Honda.this bed does not dump but it does have slots to allow you to "somewhat" customize it with 2x4 lumber.
I actually bought it a little over a month ago and so far I really like it !!! My only complaint is,I wish it had a little tighter turning radius,but really not a big deal.

How do you like the paddle shifting?

At first I wasn't real sure if I liked them,but after a full day of riding (Bear Creek) I was really enjoying the shifting, it added a fun factor to driving it!!!

I should also mention, the roof,cargo tray and windshield, can be removed within a few minutes.They all have a clamping system,no bolts to remove !!!
Under the cargo tray,is a flat cargo rack that comes standard on the Pioneer !!!

Happy Motoring.

Nice side by side. I wish I would have bought one instead of the rhino 700.

I was all set to get one to replace my four wheeler that died. Got a call from Montgomery Honda to come look at one before it went to customer. The day before I was to go, my truck hit some road ice wrong and took me to the ditch. Had to put the pioneer money into a new truck, along with what I got from insurance. So, I settled for a new four wheeler similar to the one I had.
Maybe one day I will sell ATV and get the Pioneer.

Looks great. How do you like the radio. Was looking at the same model for my Mule, appears to be really well thought out for off road use

Good to hear. Thank you for the information
Is first gear super low? I got the Pioneer 700-4 and first gear is just way to high. Very frustrating sometimes.
