honda foreman 450 ES and honda foreman 500 es comparison

[@erichemmelgarn4623]

Having both myself, The 450 will go through twice as much snow they are a better machine in my opinion

[@hondaman6918]

My 2002 Honda 450s Foreman has a foot shifter, which I personally like better, but it also has a shift button on the right to select 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive like your 500.

[@rockspowersports]

Being able to take them in and out of 4x4 makes a huge difference on the handling. I have a 04 450es that I need to rebuild right now, that one you can take in and out.

[@TheYeti308]

I like the older ones with the same size tires all around .

[@rockspowersports]

Are you talking the 450?

[@TheYeti308]

@@rockspowersports Eie . the smaller one .

[@rockspowersports]

@@TheYeti308 gotcha!

[@brodycampbell8337]

That 450 had selectable 2 and 4 wheel drive because it had the 4 lights on top of the screen instead of just 3 but the switch is missing which is odd

[@rockspowersports]

@Brody Campbell That speedo might of been off a newer 450 because that yellow one was a 1998 I believe and they didn’t come out with the selectable 2x4 4x4 until 2004

Any riding videos coming of the new assault?

[@rockspowersports]

unfortunately the new assault wasnt in the cards for this year...lost my $500 deposit on it. I did get to put some miles on one though and ill post the video soon.

My son has the 07 foreman but likes my 03 rancher better for mobility

[@rockspowersports]

@mike d Those smaller machines do fit places a lot better.

Too bad sound cut out..I have the same 98 trx 450es

[@rockspowersports]

They are very rugged built atvs.

[@adammaroney7287]

500 has twin valve. more much power

He has the wrong dash on that second fourweller

[@rockspowersports]

@A country boy 999 I know it was from a newer foreman that you could take in and out of 4x4.

[@acountryboy9992]

Ok I have a 1998 forman 450 es and mine has 3 lights so I was just curious

[@artsmith103]

My 2003 450 allows 2x or 4X wheel drive. I think they are closer to 425cc.

[@acountryboy9992]

@@artsmith103 your 450 is probably a 2003 and up that's when they offered that

[@joebidden4914]

@@artsmith103 they are 432cc
