Congrats and thanks for watching! They are great little machines. We keep finding it to be more beneficial around the house than originally anticipated.......and it's fun.
Enjoyed the video, Lupe is a very happy, and lucky dog! Having a sxs has literally changed our lives. We live in AZ so the riding and trails are different, so amazing and all about the adventure. Cheers!
Thanks for watching! Lupe is about the easiest dog to please. She's happy as long as we're hanging out. We're excited to see how we can utilize the sxs.
Thanks for watching! She really loves it too. Unfortunately, she is hurt now and can't join in on the fun. We're hoping she heals up and can be back to loving adventures in the woods soon.
I've heard good things about the CF Moto stuff but I didn't read one bad review of the Honda. The guy I snagged ours from had both brands (slightly different styles) and didn't have any complaints about either. I went Honda because it was what he was selling and what I had determined I felt would last the longest since we plan on keeping it forever. I don't think you can go wrong with either though.
What I love about my 520: Fits in truck bed, affordable, real transmission (no belts), compact, reliable, goes everywhere I need it to. What I hate about it: Slow (regulated to < 40 mph), ZERO storage, factory tires are waaaaay too small, and ride is a little rough.
Thanks for watching! I would agree with those sentiments......although it doesn't fit in our small truck bed (jealous). We haven't reached top speed yet because we've had the dog with us. Luckily the guy we bought it from had already put larger tires on. And storage......we're thinking of ways to make it work for us.
Your 520 looks great with the bigger tires on it . I’m debating between the 520 and 700 pioneer . I like the 50 inch width as far as for hunting trails but I’m wondering if it will tip easy with the narrow wheelbase. How does it feel on the trail?
Thanks for watching. We also like the 50 inch width to open up additional trails around here for us. It feels great so far and has not felt tippy yet. I'd say the only downfall for us is the small bed for hauling wood (although we still get 3 huge logs in it at a time) and the front seat space when we're hauling stuff. It works but is tight with 2 people and a big dog up there.
That's a great question! We bought it used with all the accessories. He said everything was from the dealer. I'd try to find a brand by looking but we're on the road for a while.
Thanks for watching! We have a 5x10 trailer and it fits great. We'd want something a little longer if we were planning on bringing other stuff with (coolers and whatnot could use a little more length).
Thanks for watching. They look to be the ITP SS212 model. They are 14's but I'm not sure of the width and offset. The front tires are 27x9 and backs are 27x11. They were on it when I bought it.
I'm not sure what to make of this comment. Theu aren't cheap but I think the 520 (starts at $10,500) is one of the cheapest name brand models to get out on the trails. It's definitely not a race machine but I've been impressed with the capabilities.
Go with moto Honda is over rated for the Money . Way more accessories in other utv"s that come with them . Honda's 520 looks like a 250 with no extras And 10,000 more .
The guy that we purchased from also had a CFMoto for sale. The one he had didn't have a dump bed so it was not a good fit. He had nothing but good things to say about both brands. The closest thing they make to the 520 is the UForce 600 which starts at $10,999. It like a good alternative choice to the Homda for sure.
We actually paid for the unit and did not get paid by Honda although we appreciate that you think our channel is big enough to get a sponsor like them. We bought it used with all the upgrades and got a pretty great deal.
Thanks for watching! RUclips helps people find videos by the title so we went that route. We read a ton of reviews from folks talking about how reliable they are and that was our number one goal.
Just picked up a 2025 Pioneer 520 today. My 2 Boxer Girls LOVE IT!

Excellent video I also own a Honda pioneer 520 and just love it🤘
Thanks for watching! They really are great machines for their price and versatility.
I love the dog in the bed ❤😂
Thanks for watching! She really loves it too. Unfortunately, she is hurt now and can't join in on the fun. We're hoping she heals up and can be back to loving adventures in the woods soon.
You are a great narrator.
Thanks! We were trying to salvage the multiple hours of being out filming with the audio failing.
Really torn between this or the cf moto 600, my heart tells me to stay with a Honda and you will never be disappointed.

Nice. What ramps do you use and what truck works? I’d like to do this.

What brand windshield do you have? Just picked up a 520, looking for windshield recommendation.
That's a great question! We bought it used with all the accessories. He said everything was from the dealer. I'd try to find a brand by looking but we're on the road for a while.
What size trailer are you using for your Honda 520?
Thanks for watching! We have a 5x10 trailer and it fits great. We'd want something a little longer if we were planning on bringing other stuff with (coolers and whatnot could use a little more length).
I really love those rims. Would you tell me the size and off set? Great video!
