Default Foreman 450ES or Grizzly 600 ?

Hi!

Both are 2000 models and they are the same price, so wich one would you choose?? Reliability is very important for me and I don't know if Grizzly are good.

The Grizzly have 6,000Km, it is too much?? Don't know the mileage on the Foreman...

ANother question, the rear tire size for the Grizzly is 25X10-10 or 25X10-12?? Because on Internet I found it's 25X10-10 but I cannot found them for sale there are only 25X10-12, so it will fit on the original rims??

Thanks!

Do you want a geared type tranny or the automatic belt drive cvt?
The grizz has much more ground clearance, and a softer sprung ride, but the honda is more utility.
You may want to try and ride both before deciding, because they are very different from each other.
If they have no problems now..they should both be good for a long time. The honda, may be a bit simpler to take care of, and have less maintance, and neither will get great milage.
You may have some minor issues with the es on the honda, most are caused by the clutch adjustment or a low voltage battery. But if it shifts fine on the test drive, itll be ok.
The foreman will be full time 4wd, but there are kits, to allow 2wd, which makes it handle alot more sporty, (it allows power slides).

Is that year Grizzly water cooled? I heard there were quite a few with heat issues. I'm not sure, that year Grizzly was a sra, but again not totally sure. For that year, I would give the Honda the nod. Newer, the Grizzly for sure.
