So, they are kind of contradicting themselves on both these points.
Who knows how the EFI will effect the power???? It might be a fire breathing dragon that challenges the 450 class, and maybe not........

It does say OHV. I assumed they put the cam up on top as well. I guess there isn't much sense in worrying about it until we can see a cutaway of the engine, to see just how it is layed out. Anybody know where there is a cutaway of the 350 engine????

I did finally get the price list to work........only $200 more than last year! EFI, disk brakes, TraxLok, and a radiator for only $200, that's a pretty good deal! I would gladly pay even more for them to lighten it up, but to keep the price down, looks like they went with the heavier steel stuff (rims, rack, etc.), rather than more expensive alloys.

What about the '07 Foreman ES with EPS Reconranger? Is there two different versions now? One with EPS and one without? If so, what are the prices? thanks..

This seems very un-Honda like. I suspect they intended to introduce this on all Foremans NEXT year and rushed the EPS to market as a result of the new Grizzly.

Now that makes me really mad.. I was THIS close to be getting ready to buy one.. But i need one for hunting and just pure blending in where i ride so anything other than Green or Camo is not an option for me. This sucks. Well, i get to save alot of money on a green '06 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
