Riding The Honda Pioneer 500 It's Reliable BUT is it Versatile like the 520? 

I've had my Pioneer 500 since I bought it new in 2020. Great machine and it is legal to drive on four wheeler trails because it has a narrow enough wheel base. It runs the same as the day I bought it. The 1st gear to 2nd is kinda ruff but in time you will get the hang of it. The clutch is easily adjustable and there are many great videos to choose from on YT showing you how. Once you have the clutch tuned your ride will be nice and smooth. It shall remain my daily driver until the day I die.

Just picked up my 2022 moose brown 520. It is so cold here and snow up the ying yang, but I manage to get out for a little each day. I'm older than dirt but it makes me feel young again, I love it!

I just picked up 2025 Pioneer 520 as an impulse buy. It seems like a solid little machine. It should be fun with the grandkids!

We have a 2018 with 2700 miles and it has been trouble free. We ride in Michigan a lot and have been to the black hills twice. I like the 50" width. We go places larger machines can't go, but we can't go places they can so there is a trade off. I'm 70 years old with a bum shoulder and I don't think it needs power steering. There is no steering feedback at all.

Got ‘22 Pioneer 500 five months ago . I got the upgrade wheels, doors, roof, winch & bed on back ….runs great & head turner for sure, it’s badass . I highly recommend

Waiting on my 520 in North Jersey, these things are super rare. Thanks

Here’s a little review from a current owner. I bought my 500 at the end of October 2022, when I first bought my unit I won’t lie, I was skeptical and not very fond of it, but as time went on and I started personalizing it I’ve grown to absolutely love it. There’s two departments where the 500 really shines, it has amazing brakes, it could stop on a dime from 30 miles an hour. I’ve almost hit deer multiple times and the brakes have saved us from collisions. It also is an extremely good climber, it did not earn its nickname, the Billygoat, for no reason. I’ve got a little over 500 miles now spread over multiple types of terrain from pavement to mountain trails and it has not failed yet. The only thing I can find to really complain about is the suspension is lacking when things start getting rough, the walker Evans suspension upgrade is definitely in my sights for the near future.

Nice video. Lots of riding and description.

Awesome video can you please make a video of the 2023 or 2022 Rincon?

Can you plow snow with a 500? Thx

Thank you for sharing 🤗🙏🇺🇲🏆

Is the rear diff a locked diff?? TY Well done!

The 500 does not have Honda’s dct transmission

Does the 500 have a DCT? I thought it was basically an electronic shift. EDIT its not a DTC

I wonder if I can use it on the main road or at a Mcdonalds Drive Thru, does anyone know? I want to use it as I would a car 😅
