I've owned several Honda products (dirt bikes and ATVs) along with others and even with the low hours on my Foreman 500, I truly take my hat off to Honda. This machine exceeded my expectations in both overall quality and functionality. I looked into several others before the Honda, but with my main focus being on a dependable, low maintenance work machine, the Honda won hands down. It doesn't have the highest power rating or fastest top speed (I've had mine up to 56 mph) of the other 500 machines, but what it lacks in those categories it makes up for it in long-term dependability and low-maintenance. Air cooled engine, proven-dependable solid axle and low range gearing are only a few of the features that sold me on this machine. This Foreman easily rides my wife and me together effortlessly going through trails and over log piles, through creek beds, etc. with the push of a button for 4-wheel drive, and it’s extremely quiet while doing it. I also use my Foreman for pulling a 1000 lb, 8-row grain drill for food plots with the push of the 4x4 button and low range 1st gear. I'm glad about my choice to invest in a Honda!
