P1000m5 8 Speed DCT

[Mountie]

I was looking for specs on my P1k and noticed this on Hondas site. Not sure if it's an error or even if it's been discussed previously, but our transmission is listed and an 8 speed now. That's one way to lower gear ratios.

Lol..
I have confirmed that an error.
I seen it back in the fall on another page and contacted Honda about it. They had corrected it.. Idk... Guess it's back.

Then again... hey, maybe there is a 8 speed. Lol.

An 8 speed would be so perfect. Low gear is pretty okay for trails, though sometimes I wish I had a granny gear.

High is still just one gear away from being perfect for driving on road. 65 mph and your screaming.

Low is too low for driving on road, and still one gear too high for rough riding.
High too high for rough riding and still one gear too low for driving on road.

Polaris is too low for having fun, and still not fun enough to own.

Yesiree, one more gear 40% lower than 1st and one gear 10% higher than 6th would be perfect.
