Cool. Not running out to trade our current one in on it, but it should sell well for them.

The people that just paid for a 2020 model are going to be pissed that it is $700 cheaper now.

Sure. I sold my P500 earlier this year. This new P520 looks good - most of the good about the old P500, with a few small enhancements. Might be enough to get me into one. I sure enjoyed Rambo.

I'm not going to pretend that I don't want one.

Right? Oh well, I have seen that happen with other makes/machines over the years too. It happened with RZR's a few years back...they dropped the price substantially one year to the next.

I'm with you. My Ranger Crew 1000 is exactly what I need for my family and group outings. But, my P500 was so fun in a different way - hard to explain to anyone who hasn't owned one.

I am glad I held out. I wish I could get one before Winter rolls in but, I am still glad I waited.

Yep. I should’ve waited 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I want that dump bed!

 

[Fischer]

Yes they look good. I'm still different than most and like the rack. Only 1.3 hp difference. Crazy with the price drop though.

Unfortunately, Honda is not good with kits like that. You would probably have to order one part by part.

So where the rubber meets the road are people willing to spend an extra grand to get that 520 motor and the dump bed? I'd love to see the sales numbers at the end of 2021.

Nice of Honda to finally make the machine that should have been introduced in 2015. Except they still forgot the locker...

What's with those tires?

Controversial opinion: the 500 is better looking machine. If you're going to put a dump bed on it, I think it needs color match doors. The whole thing looks a little Mickey mouse to me.

I think the bigger tires and the bed make it look more proportionally correct.

As far as color goes, ehh...

They are still 24" tires.

Color....red is still the fastest.
