Hi all,

Im new to the forum and was wondering how good the 2012 Foreman's are. I currently own a 2010 Rancher and I was wondering how the two compare. What are the goods and downs if there are any?

so far so good on the 2012 foreman 500 i havent herd of any isues yet at all
and the rancher is a solid 4wheeler also ...the only thing on the ranchers that are a problem are the AT models with there trannys
but there hondas !!!!!!

I went with the es model on my rancher becuase i feel it gives a more sporty feel but ya those Foremans look awesome with that new styling and also fuel injection.

what's up i have the new foreman and it is an awesome bike, throttle response is sick and it handles great so far...... i only have had it for a couple months, but i absolutely love it and it impresses me everytime out... i got some pics in my albums if you want to take a look

Sick looking Foreman tskfreak. Did the 27" Zillas take any power from it? The bottom end is really good on them right? What was the top speed? I noticed you had the 4x4 es,the same model im looking at. Are the zillas hard to steer without the power steering? Thanks for all your help.

tskfreak · 01-31-2012, 06:45 PM

i honestly feel no power loss at all with the zilla's, that's one of the reasons i went with them. their the lighest tire out there and still are agressive and can go threw anything.... they are seriously impressive.... i haven't pushed it to top speed, but i imagine it may of took a couple miles and hour off the top, but i don't go much faster then 30 were i ride anyways. as far as steering is concerned no problems at all, im running the 9 wide's in the front because i was nervous about loosing my turning ability... if i had it back though i would definetaly of gotten the eps because i here it's amazing, but by no means is it nesscessary to have on the bike.... hope this helps bro any other ?? feel free to ask... if i cant answer it someone else sure will
