Torrance, CA (2/21/2011) - American
Honda Motor Company announced today the first
release of the 2012 model year Honda FourTrax
Foreman. This model will kick off the beginning
of an exciting new season for Honda.
The first opportunity to view the new Honda
FourTrax Foreman model will be at the International
Motorcycle Show in Greenville, South Carolina,
February 25-27 and Daytona Bike Week in Daytona
Beach, Florida, March 5-12.
More detailed information and images of Honda’s
model line can be found on powersports.honda.com

The Honda FourTrax Foreman is built to work
hard, day in and day out
over the years, the FourTrax® Foreman®
range of 4x4 ATVs have proven themselves to
be hard-working partners that also know more
than a thing or two about recreation. For 2012,
the Foreman line of ATVs boasts a brand-new
liquid-cooled 475cc single-cylinder OHV four-stroke
engine that’s powerful enough for taking
on those extra-tough jobs. The introduction
of a new fuel injection system with 36mm throttle
body for instant throttle response, consistent
performance at high altitude, and hassle-free
cold-weather starting adds to the Foreman’s
performance package.
The rolling chassis has been re-engineered
as well, featuring an all-new and lighter rear
suspension system incorporating a single, high-quality
shock for increased comfort, precision, and
work capabilities, plus a shorter wheelbase
for agile handling and a tighter turning radius.
With a wide variety of choices in configuration
including manual shifting or Honda’s renowned
Electric Shift Program (ESP®) that delivers
push-button convenience for shifting, plus the
option of Electric Power Steering (EPS) there’s
a model to suit everybody. Throw in new body
styling with a more aggressive look and you
have one full-sized machine that will carry
you through a week’s worth of chores with
ease, then beg for some playtime adventuring
come the weekend. Price: TBD. Availability:
May 2011.
