Default Honda quality!

Last weekend a friend and I went riding. He went down a pretty steep hill, the front wheels hit a rut, the rear end came up and rolled over on him and his Foreman did about 8 good rolls before coming to a stop. We were able to unbend the handlebars enough for him to ride out to the trailhead, which surprised me. Plus, turns out all he needed was new handlebars, rear rack, gauge pod, and an alignment and it's good as new! I've been pretty happy w/ my Eiger, but if I ever need a new ride, it might just be a Foreman!
Oh, and he's ok other than he blew his ACL. Definitely could have been worse.

I flipped mine, a 04 Foreman, over on its top at speed last weekend too. The only damage it did was fold the handlebars and controls down, scratched them, scratched the plastic guage covers pretty bad, and light scratches on the rear rack..sanded them a little and painted them back and you cant tell it from new either. The small metal guard on the headlite and guage cluster is pretty darned strong apparantly! I hope i never have to find out how tough it is again! Glad your friend is okay. I dove off and onto a bank when i turned over and was lucky enough not to get a scratch either.
