4 seater Pioneer 700.

I bought the 14 Yamaha Viking and sold it. It was way too loud for me. I just didn't care for it. I will end up getting the Pioneer 4 seater 700. Solid bike.

I got rid of a pioneer 700 due to front seat leg room. Depending on what the new pioneer 1000 looks like. My next one might be a Kowasaki mule pro FXT. Thet have a 3 year warranty and they seem solid. Dad is getting one so I will see how his performs. The price of the new pioneers will be ridiculous.

Get a Viking! i know where one is with 34 miles on it like new that a guy wants to get rid of if interested it's just like new. I think he just bought it without thinking and never uses it. It's never been in the mud. most those miles were put on it in the snow we got back last winter.

I know I'm going to get run out of town but I have had awesome luck with both my Polaris products! 2012 Sportsman 800 and a 2011 Ranger 800XP. As long as you take decent care of them I think they are bad to the bone! Ride like a Cadillac and run like a scalded dog!

A friend just got the mule pro fxt. I drove it last week, by far the best riding, quiet utv I've ever been in.
He likes it so much he sold his new bad boy and home Gokf cart. He bought another for home.
He said its $2000 less than Polaris.
I like it a lot better than Polaris.

They are very smooth and quiet. Drive more like a truck. They looked to be well put together.

Just snorkel it. The air intake is not in a good spot. But it is simple to do yourself.

Are the Honda Pioneer 1000s out yet? If not, when are they expected to arrive?

I am also in the UTV market. Went and looked at the MULE PRO but havent ridden one yet. I thought I was sold on the Viking VI until i saw the Mules. Havent pulled the trigger yet but interested to hear more feedback.

I like the fact that I wouldnt have to buy a new trailer to haul the PRO FXT

I was an "early adopter" of the Pioneer 700. Love mine, but am waiting on the 1000, just cause more is ....MORE! :) They roll bar is retarded high though, and may not go in some garage/sheds.
