i am looking into buying a 2002 foreman 450. anybody have bad complaints about it? i already have a '99. so far, th eonly differences i know of is a 4x4/2x4 switch. anything else? also, does the 450s come with the same digital display as the 450es?

 

I've never had a Foreman 450, so I cannot comment on any compliments or complaints. However, I'm pretty sure the 450S has the digital display even though it doesn't have ES.

 

yes it does have the same display, two things that i can think of that were different from my 99 was that the 02 is faster and when you have it in two wheel drive it is alot easier to steer.

 

I also have a 99 450es.The only thing I know is different on the 02 model is the traxloc and the shocks are a little different,I rode an 02 and could not tell any difference in the ride.There is not enough difference between them for me to want to upgrade.How many miles do you have on your 450?If the selectable 4x4 is what you want, get a warn 424.I have it on my Rubi and it works great.The display on the 450s does not show you what gear your in.

 

GREAT MACHINE!!!!

 

I have a 2003 Honda 450S and I love it. The traxloc is great, the display is nice, overall great machine. I'm going to get new tires in the fall when my stock tires wear out( I hope). I've heard that the 450 is a very reliable machine, I hope to find out. Now just to get my left handlebar straigtened out after the "incident"....

 

mine is for sale. green, 350 mi. Never flipped. normal scratches from branches/woods riding. always warmed up before it was ran. Dealer serviced. 4500 firm. I live in Indiana not Kansas

 

Those bikes should be about the same. VERY reliable, bullet proof. An excellent utility bike. I owned a '00 450-S, and miss it sometimes!
That is a he!! of a good price on the used one for sale in Indiana! You would do well to check THAT one out!
Good Luck, Mike.

 

450 HondaForeman S--- You have a P.M.

 

I have a '98, very reliable machine, I added a warn 424 unit and '03 Rubicon headlights to update it a little. The S comes with a full digital display, only difference is that the ES also diplays what gear your in, the S does not.
