I am thinking of purchasing a Honda Pioneer-5 1000. Anyone have input on the ride quality? I currently own a 2015 Kawasaki Teryx and it rides rough. The problem is, most dealers only let you drive in the parking lot on smooth pavement. Any input would be greatly appreciated...

The ride quality is good but I improved the ride by adding Black Diamond XTR tires.

I have around 700 miles on mine now and am very happy with it. The ride quality exceeded my expectations for trail use.

I have ridden in a Teryx 4 for about 6 hours both on similar terrain, the Honda P1K5D rides much smoother.

Thanks for the quick input everyone!! I will probably wait until the 17 models release, hopefully the heat issue will be addressed by then.
