well guys and girl's,the riding was gonna be real good this weekend.spent a few hours this week getting her ready for wales,covered her up last nite before the frost and thats the last ill see of her.some low life scumbag's decided id had her too long.if id parked my car a foot further over there wouldnt have been enough room to get through.so they took the gate and sum fence apart to get it out,i spose theyd have damaged the car as well if it were in the way.
so what do yall recon shall i get another 450 or a 500 next?
was at the bike show last month they said theyd probably be able to get me one of those new 700's before a rincon.

Sorry to hear that yours was stolen, I know I would be PI$$ED!
Did you have theft insurance? I would look at the Rubicon or Foreman 500 S models if I were you.

 

[RJR]

Man I'm sorry to hear that! I can sure relate...my 96 400 was stolen last October. Even though I got a new bike, I still miss my old one. It was rigged just the way I wanted it. Hope you had insurance on yours.

I replaced mine with a 500.

 

[Jordan P]

Im not trying to be rude or anything, but how did they steal it? Do they just roll it onto a trailer or something? Did you leave the keys in it? It seems like it would pretty difficult to do if the keys weren't in it.

If you know what ur doing with the key switch harness, it can be started.

 

[ukforeman400]

Bad luck mate, I would get a new 420, they look quite good.

 

[HUNTING721]

Sorry to here that buddy. I had a 02 that was stolen after I had put a bunch of money into and the bad guys desided that it was just the way they wanted it. had mine for a year, and still had to pay the next two years for something I didn't have anymore. Amazing what we do to keep a good credit score....lol! Anyway, hope she comes back home one day.

 

[Caveman64]

For around $100 per year you can get a motorcycle policy on it that will pay off that note or replace your quad? Best money ever spent if someone takes your ride.

 

[rockbottom12]

grr thieves deserve to be hung!
on a lighter note. get the rancher 420 it will definitely out run the foreman. I love mine. amazing bike.it has a lot of toque too.

 

[hondarog]

thanks

thanks a lot guys for your kind words.jordan,the keys werent in it i found the ignition in my driveway looked like theyd had a screwdriver in it.we think theyd took it in a van but not sure.my window will always be open when i sleep now.not realy pi$$ed about the ride as such,i can replace it,its all the hard work getting it just as i wanted it.but hey ho we live and learn.I PROMISS THAT THEY WONT GET THE NEXT ONE.thanks again guy.[/img]

 

[hondarog]

oh,yeah it was insured,just gotta wait a little.then ill get another.

 

[keefe.a]

Hello hondarog. I'm sorry to hear your machine was pinched. All thives are BAST**DS!!! Especially ATV thives
I know i'm replyin late to this thread but i onlyb join'd in january....
Did you get a new one????
If so what is it ? Is it road legal???

 

[hondarog]

hiya keef.a not got it at the moment,been toying between the rincon andeither a 450 or a 500.ive ordered a trx 700xx that will be road legal when it comes in april.mind you they told me whatever it is in dollars it will be in pounds.thats 8 grand,i thought it was nearly two dollars to the pound

 

[keefe.a]

Hello Hondarog F*****CK ME!!!!!!!!!
For a quad???????? Are they doing the conversion? Conversions cost nearly a £1000 YOU should do it yourself it ain't as hard as VOSA say it is.
I done mine 500trx fa (rubicon)
If you dont mind me askin why do you want a 2wd???

 

[louisianarebel]

They cant steal mine unless the push it or put it in 4x4 and take off with a front wheel drive.. Hope they do take the POS..

Sorry bout urs though.

we leave one of the keys in the four wheeler, but the only time i could be stolen is when we are gone, becasue we live in an old house that the basement has a ramp that gos to a garage door so we would hear the door open and the foreman start.

sorry to here about yours being stolen. no one would make it far if they tried to steal the froeman.

That's funny! I would love to see this. If this information is at all accurate, then myself and many others on here paid more for nothing. Apparently the extra 55cc's don't bennefit you at all.

I have both an 07 Foreman 500 ES and an 08 Rancher 420 ES and while the Rancher will take the Foreman off the line, top speed, if the speedometers on them are correct, is 53-55 on both.

 

[gitterdone500s]

my foreman 500s 4x4 speedo was around 55-57 on stock tires on the mudtires i can run it all out. it gets to squirley.
