Greetings All......
I currently have a 2012 Can Am Commander 1000X that we ride in AZ. I'm looking to get another machine that will accommodate more than two people. Since I ride a Honda Gold Wing and have had numerous Honda powered pieces of equipment over the years I am naturally interested in the 2016 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe. I drove one and we really like it.
My biggest concerns are that since it is brand new this year. I'm a little concerned that they might have some issues that need to be worked out. My second concern is the shocks/suspension. My Commander has the Fox racing shocks and I'm concerned that the shocks on the Pioneer might not be adequate to handle the rough terrain we ride in the Sonora desert and the mountains.
I'd appreciate any and all input.
Thanks you!
