Foreman or Rubicon

[STEVEDU2]

buy the honda i have a 500 s foreman and it will rip a grizzly in half on a tug of war.my opinion is buy the s (shifter)i think automatics suk.if your looking for something that doesnt go 60mph but has torque out the arsh buy the honda but if you want something that will go 60mph and has nothing for low to mid than buy the grizz or etc.in my opinion i dont understand why anyone would want a utility quad that has nothing but top end and very little mid range.buy the foreman s.hope this helps.

I disagree, with just about everything he said.

yeah...boo for technological advances that improve the performance of ATV's...What does the company improving their atv's have to do with anything? You're saying its BAD that they update their quads? A company shouldn't be knocked for improving their product. There's ALWAYS something that can be improved.

So into yamaha? Maybe im so into ATV's that are better deals than others.

Dont be fooled, the Foreman has undergone many changes over the years.

I swear to god, if it says "Honda" on the side of a pile of crap wrapped in tin foil, you'd buy it claiming it was the greatest thing out there.

"Honda must be better! It doesn't update anything!"...HAH....

[STEVEDU2]

put a set of tires on that pile of crap wrapped in tin foil and it would still out perform your yamaha.lmao

I would get the Foreman. I have a 99 Foreman that has 5,000 miles on it and it has been through hell and back and still running great. The only thing I don't like about it is it's not the smoothest ridin quad out there. About 3 months ago I got a 07 Rincon and LOVE it. It's not all that much bigger than the Foreman is as far as manuverability. And I agree, you can't beat Honda reliability. I have 3 Hondas and the only thing I've done to the Foreman is put a wheel bearing in each side and a few ball joints. I have a 300EX that has about 10,000 miles on it and have had NO trouble with it at all, and it has NOT been babied at all.

As far as the Grizzleys go, I personally wouldn't buy one. A few of my friends have them and they absolutley hate them. Sure, they have high end power, but how often do you need to go 75 through a trail? I'd much rather be able to climb any hill and know I'm not going to run out of power. Also, each one of them broke the factory rear axles. They would just be goin through a nice smooth trail and snap a axle. They had some other problems with them also, but I can't remember what they were.

Oh, and my neighbor has a Polaris 800 and he absolutley looves it, but the other day we were doin a hair scramble and I was on my 07 Rincon and he was on his 800 and he kept sayin how much nicer the Rincon handled than the Polaris. The Rincon kept all 4 tires on the ground in a turn while the Polaris was on 2 wheels on the same turn.

Thanks for the opinions! I'm definitely going Foreman and Im definitely going HONDA. Although the Rincon sounds great its kind of out of the price range for the moment but we'll see.
