I’ve put around 40 miles on the machine so far. Man I really like it.

The speed odometer shows it tops out at 40mph, but I know it’s off due to the bigger tires.

The dyno jet i purchased is so new they don’t have the programming for it yet. So it’s on but nothing is loaded in yet. I’m a little disappointed I bought it without them telling me, but I guess I’ll get to ride it and see how much of a difference it makes when I get it on. The tuner allows you to change tire size so it will correct the odometer once I have the programming.

I don’t like that they don’t have the 2 inch Reese hitch and it’s the real small one. I assume they make an aftermarket but haven’t looked yet.

As far as the heat shield to under seat. I rode it in 90 degree weather and I didn’t feel much heat at all. I wonder if they made a design change to the seat? I just was expecting by rump to roast but that wasn’t the case.

Other than that I love it. I do wish it had low range, a locker and power steering, but it’s got everything I need and I may put that stuff on later.

Guys I’m a little disappointed that Honda doesn’t have like simple things built in, phone chargers, and some other things that all other side by side comes with.

I did install a Bose radio that’s Bluetooth connected this weekend. It’s a really nice radio!

I didn’t have all the wiring tucked away but was ensuring the lights and radio was working.

It certainly is a bare bones, basic economy rig.

Handa doesn't give us much to choose from.
