Honda pioneer here. It does get a little hot on the seat. and it want hold back as good as the yamaha coming down one of these jackson county steep as a mule face mountains.(the 700). I use one daily i have drove it in some terrible places because i bought some swamp land and we got a rode through it through trial and error. I think there are 6 axles i replaced before i went to rhinos.So yes its been rode hard and put up wet. I do change oil at least 2 times a year and sometimes 3. when it quits i will have another one just like it
