Pioneer sales

I read that Honda Big Red sales were poor at 2400 units annually. This why they redesigned to the Pioneer. Dealers weren't to interested in selling the report stated since the redesign there are more dealerships sign on to sell this product. The report indicated that the appearance was the biggest issue affecting Big Red sales. So if that figure was accurate we know that Pioneer sales must be more based on reports of vin # posted here and other Pioneer forums.
When I began researching utv's in Oct. I looked at the Big Red and wouldn't buy one based on looks. I was drawn to the Viking, rzr, rangers based on appearance. Pricing was and is always a consideration as well as use and function. The Big Red would have done what I needed a utv for and some of the others would have fit the need. It was the test rides that made the difference and the salesman/kid (early20 something). He listened to what I wanted it to do, what my price range was. He also listened and understood my physical limitations. That I didn't want to feel as if I were climbing into a gocart, I wasn't looking for a go fast experience every time I went for a ride. I got a utility vehicle that fits the needs of my mini farm and its pretty neat to just ride. I ride it to the local farm store for supplies and every time everyone gathers to look and ask questions about it. They like to share their stories about the rzrs and rangers. My final thought is buy what fits your unique needs wether it's a Honda Pioneer or not.

The two seat Pioneers are a hot ticket item. The next four the we will see are spoken for, and that puts us out until April as far as getting one in that's available. As long as no one speaks up for it before then. We do have a couple 4 seaters around though. They don't seem to be as popular around here, as we see mostly ranchers getting the two seater for strictly utility work.

You probably won't need to read the owners manual.

Well thanks and yeah, I am pretty sure I can just start printing off and binding posts and will end up with a manual better than Honda's.

the dealer I got mine from and the dealer that my friend got his from have already past the total sales for big red lifetime. the one I got my pioneer from gets 6 a week for the last couple months and only have them on floor for average 4-7 days. and the 4 seaters have been sold before they come in. the one that my buddy got his from have almost doubled there big red sales for its lifetime and you have deposit getting 6 every 2 weeks and are booked for all the way to may on upcoming pioneers
New owner soon
I'm going to order my 4 seater soon in Red. I've talked to a few dealers in Ontario. One dealer only had a green one he said it's no trouble to change the hood from a red two seater and two small decals. A week or more to get my ducks in a row then it's time to shop.
