Honda Pioneer 500

Anyone have one or info on them, I just sold my Ranger it was too big for what I wanted and too loud. I am thinking about the 500 because of it's smaller footprint, I would be using it on two track roads and our property for the most part.

Wondering about room for two adults, how well it would do in the mud and water holes, and how loud it is would like to be able to talk while at speed without having to yell.

I have a Pioneer 700 Side by side. Much quieter than the RZR 800. The pioneer transmission is more like a car transmission, although it downshifts really hard when slowing down.

Talk while at speed? You mean 30 mph? Yeah, you can talk at speed.

Mud holes? Are we talking Louisiana deep and steep, or the local mud puddles? If you retain the stock tires you will be fine, although once you go larger, torque will be an issue.

The one thing I don't like, is you sit up straight, really correct posture and the pedal is right below your foot.
