how do u guys like ur foreman 450's im looking at buying a 99 model just wanted to know how u liked the things ive never had a ute before just sports but i ride all terrain and need a 4x4 somtimes thanks in advance

 

If you need 4x4 sometimes...you might want to rethink this one. Its full tme 4x4..no 2wd option, unless you get a warn 424.
They are bulletproof, and dependable. Great low end grunt, and very good engine braking. But they also ride like an unloaded 3/4 ton truck. I like mine, but on long rides, im pretty beat up.
The ground clearance isnt that great, and youll find that if you follow everyone elses ruts, youre gonna get hung up.
Check over the drum brakes in front, before buying. Lots of guys dont keep up on the maint in front, and the bearings and brakes can be in bad shape if it wasnt looked after. Also check for engine smoke..if you see blue smoke, pass it up, unless its dirt cheap.
If that 99 is in good shape,and wasnt abused, itll last another 15 years, easy. Why is it for sale?
Definetly take it for a ride before buying, it doesnt take long to get the feel for it, and whether or not youll like driving it.

 

thanks for the input it is being sold by a honda shop near by it looks in good shape i started it last week but never rode it. never seen no blue smoke and as far as the breaks i never checked them yet im going this thursday to maybe buy it but im going to inspect it and ride it before i spend my hard earned money it also has a winch but not sure what kind it was any more info would be great thanks

 

oh i also have the ex for sport riding im not selling/trading it so as far as a all time 4x4 that doesnt matter just wanted opinions on the foreman so ill have a ute and sport thanks
