the foreman 500 is a great reliable 4x4,and the disk brakes are light years ahead of the drum brakes but to tell you the truth its realy not much better then the 400 in its ride and comfort. i think that you would be better off with the rincon over the foreman 500. but thats just me .

If the Rincon was manual then that would be my next bike. No one has exactly what I want lol

As much as I'd like to own one I just don't see it happening. I can see myself getting an 05-09 or so for the right price but nothing newer than that unfortunately.

dont get me wrong. i loved my 07. it gave me alot of good use. the 2012 just is redesigned to better suit my needs

Yea like I said I am still shopping around. A guy is suppose to be here tomorrow to buy my Foreman. Still looking at Yamaha's and some Honda's but It will probably be another month or so before I actually pull the trigger on a new bike.
