Which machine would be better for 50% trail and mud and 50% work. I know that the foreman has more power, but the auto feature of the Rubicon is nice also. I would like to hear from both owners. I'll post this on the Foreman site also.
kybmu,Aren't you the person who was complaining about a Rubicon not having enough power?If so,then why are you even posting this question?Just get a Foreman S.

More torque......Oh Pleaseeeeeeee. You can't be serious. That bike has the torque of a 400 at best...A Rubicon is a Cadillac compared to the Foreman S. And the Rubicon torques more.
This isn't true. You maybe correct about the dirty rad thing, but for pulling power, the Rubicon is no match for the foreman.i got the 05 rubicon and my dad has 05 foreman. they are both good bikes but the rubicon is just a little faster and with it's low range it can out pull a foreman. the only bad thing about rubicon is if you mud ride it tends to get hot because the radiator gets dirty
OK, this weekend is the long-weekend in Canada, I'm going up north riding with some friends. My friend with the foreman 500 is going to be there, he weighs about the same as me, both bikes weigh about the same. I'll hook a pull-strap up to our hitches, put the bikes in low and see who pulls who.
Do that my friend. I would be very interested with what you find. Post when you get the results.

No...I really like hondas. i just would like to see Honda do what Honda does best. That is make a product that would make the ATV's world's jaw drop. I know they can... They have the deepest pockets of any of the ATV manufactures. They make the best cars, generators, small engine, motor cycles, and lawnmowers. Why not blow the compatitions away?kybmu, as the others stated you seem to hate hondas, especially the rubicon, so why keep posting these questions on here if you already know your distaste for them? I think you just want to argue and piss people off,go waste your time elsewhere.
