I oown a 2001 450 s and have had great service from it. I have been looking at the new 2005 500s and have a few cocerns as to strength of frame . Has anyone had any problems as of yet ,with anything ? I find the 450 frame much beefier . but maybe it is changed structurally and actually stronger ,here's hoping .would be greatful for any input.

Welcome aboard.

My wife's uncle bought a 500 a month ago.Tremendous power.The frame looks plenty strong.After all,it's a Honda.
