Sold my 450ES. Searching for next machine
Why Didn't you what the best that honda offered.
650 - 680 Rincon?
Was it the Money or Reliablity of the machine.....?????????

Think of Getting one of the
500
Rubi
Rincon
For trail riding and Snow removal in the winters.
50% / 50%

 

Just wondering why you decided on the foreman 500?
Any one ............

 

In my case, I did not want a water cooled automatic. But I did want at least a 450, with a better ride than the old Foreman. The new Foreman 500 fit the bill, and it is everything that I wanted.

Why not liquid cooled.
More to go wrong?
I at first, I Wanted a 500 to replace the 450.
But, now I' leaning towrd the Rincon. The biggest in the honda line.

 

Well on a Rincon you have twice as many CV joints, no low gear, not much of a work horse. But the ride is great and the power is fine. Not the most powerful of the big bores, but it is one of the best recreational machines in the world. For what I do with a quad, it just would not work.

I needed a simple, work and trail machine that did not require a lot of maintainance. The Foreman 500 is a simple hard working good riding machine that also handle very well on tight wood trails.

 

I Love My Foreman es 4x4!!!!!! I weigh 285lb and needed a big bike for trail riding and mudding.
The Rincon was a little more money but I think I just liked the low first gear (has plenty of power)
I beleave if I could get the traction I could pull a house.

got it and love it.
