P1000m3 15,000 miles

Runs like new and I would have 30,000 on it but I drive my 2016 Yamaha YXZ on the rides with the Turbo guys. My Yamaha has around 15,300 miles and had several failures. I had to replace the shift cable and one exhaust mount a bit before 12,000 miles. When the steel sleeve separates from the cable housing it won't shift into low range. Total cost so far is about $30.00 in parts plus tires and oil changes. My average speed is about 19 mph. I have owned 8 belt drive UTV's and it did cost a lot to get to 5,000 miles. I had 11,000 on my 2011 RZR900 and 16,000 on my 08 Teryx. The RZR had a lot of failures and the Teryx was a PITA to change the belt. This Pioneer 1000 raises the bar in reliability and ease of maintenance.

Yes, fashion boys can poo poo the Honda for HP, Suspension, and looks, but it will go where they go and always get you home.

We shouldn't compare the Pioneer 1000 to sport models. It does set a high standard for the utility models and I run mine hard. Honda will probably use a version of this engine package in the 2019 sport models. I think Honda designed this engine to also be used in the sport models to keep the cost down and I expect around 100 hp. September, October, and November will be very interesting. I think Honda did a good job with the Pioneer 1000 for the first year model and the sport models should be better. The belt drive hating Sport guys will have a choice for next year.
