I personally think Honda should have added a locking diff to the 2002 Foreman 450 instead of the 2-4wd option. The reason that people buy the 450's is for mud riding. They are only 3 wheel drive, and thus I don't think there really is a need for the switchable 2 to 4 wheel drive option. They really aren't that hard to steer, and I don't think they'll be any easier to steer in 2wd. Plus, it's geared so low that I don't think it would be able to do powerslides. Just seems like a waste to me. Yea, I know that it will have the new ruby diff in it, but it still isn't true 4x4. I bet that if they added a lockable front diff instead, they would sell a ton of them.

 

are you saying that honda came out with a 2wd only 450? if so then you are wrong. they did come out with a 4wd switch. or maybe i am just confused by what you said
