Honda Work Range

Honda’s farm bikes and Side by Sides are built for one purpose: making work on the property easier, faster, and more reliable day in, day out. Whether it’s the XR150L and XR190CT handling tight access and everyday riding, or the Pioneer 520, 700, and 1000 range stepping up into serious hauling, towing, and multi-passenger capability, there’s a clear progression depending on how you use it. Designed for Australian conditions, these machines are made to handle paddocks, bush tracks, and everything in between without fuss. At Hawkesbury Motorcycles, we’ll help you choose the right setup for your property, whether you need something simple and dependable or a full-capability workhorse that changes how you get the job done.

XR190CT

The XR190CT is built for riders who need a bike that just gets on with the job. This is a proper farm-ready workhorse, simple, reliable, and tough enough to handle long days across the property without fuss. The 184cc fuel-injected engine delivers smooth, consistent power, whether you’re checking fences, moving stock, or covering ground, while the electric start with backup kick start gives you confidence it’ll fire up every time you need it. It’s the kind of bike that doesn’t ask questions, it just works, day in, day out. 

What sets the XR190CT apart is how practical it is straight out of the crate. You’ve got front and rear carry racks ready for tools and gear, dual side stands for uneven terrain, and proper off-road wheels with a large mudguard setup that keeps things clean when conditions turn. Add in the LED headlight, digital dash, and a durable chassis designed to take knocks without complaint, and you’ve got a bike that’s genuinely built for Australian conditions. No fluff, no over complication, just a solid bit of gear that earns its keep.

XR150L

The XR150L is one of those bikes that just makes sense. Simple, proven, and built to handle real riding conditions, it’s a go-anywhere machine that suits everything from property work through to weekend trail riding. The 149cc air-cooled engine is reliable and easy to maintain, delivering predictable power that’s ideal for newer riders or anyone who just wants a no-fuss bike they can rely on. Electric start with backup kick start keeps things practical, and the lightweight chassis makes it easy to handle whether you’re on the farm or out bush.

What really stands out with the XR150L is its balance. It’s tough enough to take on rough terrain, but still comfortable and manageable for everyday use. Long-travel suspension, proper off-road wheels, and a durable frame give it real capability, while features like the digital dash and strong braking setup keep things modern where it counts. This is a bike that’s built to be used, not babied. If you’re after something dependable, affordable, and ready to ride, the XR150L ticks all the right boxes.

Side by Side

Pioneer 1000

If you’re stepping into the Pioneer 1000, you’re not just upgrading, you’re changing how work gets done on the property. This is Honda’s flagship, built for serious work with a 999cc twin-cylinder engine delivering strong torque and over a tonne of towing capacity, along with a 454kg tray. Whether it’s hauling gear, towing, or covering large properties quickly, it cuts down trips and saves time. The 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission gives you smooth automatic shifting or manual control when needed, and with no belts, it’s built to handle real load day in, day out.

It’s also designed to make tough conditions easier. Electric power steering, selectable 2WD, 4WD and diff lock keep you moving across paddocks, hills, and mud without fuss. You’ve got multiple configurations too, from a straight work-focused 3-seater through to 5 and 6 seat QuickFlip models, so you can carry people or maximise tray space depending on the job. Add the hydraulic assist tilt bed and independent suspension with higher ground clearance, and you’ve got a machine that works harder, moves faster, and genuinely makes life on the property easier.

Pioneer 520

The Pioneer 520 is the kind of machine that earns its place on a property quickly. Built for real farm work and Australian conditions, it gives you a reliable way to move gear, check fences, run tools, and get across the property without thinking twice about the terrain. The 518cc fuel-injected engine is tuned for strong low-end torque, so whether you’re carrying a load or working through soft ground, it delivers consistent, usable power where it matters.

It’s compact enough to get through tight gates, sheds, and bush tracks, but still carries its weight when it comes to capability. The tilt tray is properly usable with over 200kg capacity, making it ideal for feed, fencing gear, or whatever the day throws at you. The selectable 2WD and 4WD system gives you the flexibility to cruise when it’s easy and find traction when it’s not, and the automatic transmission takes the effort out of stop-start work around the property.

For a farmer or property owner, this is the sort of machine that saves time every single day. Less walking, less loading and unloading, less hassle getting from one end of the property to the other. It’s not just a vehicle, it becomes part of how you run the place.

Pioneer 700

The Pioneer 700 steps things up for properties that need more capability, more carrying capacity, and a bit more versatility day to day. Where the 520 is built around compact access and lighter work, the 700 gives you the size and strength to take on bigger jobs without losing that Honda reliability. The 675cc fuel-injected engine brings noticeably more torque, especially when you’re hauling heavier loads, towing, or covering larger properties. With a larger tray capacity and up to 680kg towing, it’s built for serious work, whether that’s moving feed, gear, fencing materials, or getting stuck into proper farm tasks across the paddock.

You also get more flexibility in how you use it. The 700-2 keeps things simple with a full-size tray for work, while the 700-4 adds QuickFlip seating, giving you the option to carry extra passengers when needed without giving up tray space entirely. Electric power steering takes the effort out of long days behind the wheel, and the three-mode 2WD, 4WD, and diff lock setup gives you confidence across loose, wet, or uneven terrain. If the 520 is about access and agility, the 700 is about stepping up your output. Less trips, more carried, more done in a day, and that’s where it starts to change how you run the property.

Honda Pioneer Comparison

Honda Pioneer Range Comparison

The Honda Pioneer range gives you a clear step up depending on how hard the machine needs to work. The Pioneer 520 suits tighter access and lighter duties, the 700 range adds more carrying and towing capability, and the 1000 range is the flagship setup with bigger power, more advanced transmission, more seating flexibility, and serious workhorse ability for larger properties.

The biggest differences across the Pioneer range come down to engine size, transmission type, towing capacity, seating configuration, and overall work capability. If you need more power, more load carrying, or more people-moving flexibility, the range steps up in a very practical way.
