I don’t care about going 60mph. I do care about noise and rattling and a ‘bulletproof’ transmission that puked out of 3 dif 700s and 1000s the same family bought for ranch work. That gave me pause. The noise and rattles ticked me off…..because I really wanted one and wanted them to be Hondas. They didn’t seem to be what I hoped they were. My old 2006 Rhino is no louder than the Hondas I’ve been in. I will say my buddy that has the little 500 works the tar out of it and it seems to be holding up well, if loud. The upside to the transmission design seems to be you can pull in reverse safely, unlike most others where it’s the weak point in reverse.
