The Foreman is so long in the tooth that its dead last in every 500 Shootout. Rubicon or Foreman. Here is two of many. Reviews of Motorcycle, ATV, Snowmobile and Watercraft vehicles
4x4 ATVs Comparison Test Report - What's the Best 500 Utility ATV?

The Foreman uses a air cooled OHV motor that only makes 28hp while the rest have 32+hp or more OHC liquid cooled motors.
The Honda has no diff lock most all do now.
The Honda has a rougher riding Straight axles vs IRS.
The Honda is the last to used a mechanical drum brake on the back vs a hydraulic disk.

The first shootout is the discontinued Suzuki 500 Vision beating the more expensive 500 Rubicon.
The Improved 500 KQ would just smoke a higher end 500 Rubicon let alone the lower end Foreman.

KQ for power, ride, and 4x4 instead of 4x3.
