1997 honda foreman

[DRH1175]

Found one with about 1500 miles 400 hours. Seems to be in good shape. Is this a good atv to buy used. Are they as bullet proof as the 300's or should I keep looking. thanks

I know a guy who went from a 300 to a Foreman, and now a 450 Kodiak. I witnessed all 3 machines. He told me that the 300 was actually faster than the Foreman. Both were great work horses and didn't give him hardly any trouble. He worked both of the Hondas pretty good. Now he has the Kodiak and doesn't do too much work with atv's anymore. I think he said the Foreman topped out at about 45, the 300 was over 50 mph. Not a big deal, but that is all the info I have on the two. Myself, I don't care for any atv that you have to shift, unless it would be solely for work purposes. There are a ton of Hondas out there, so that has to tell you something. They are just not my first choice.

Honda has very good 4 wheelers and just about everything else they make. I have a couple friends that run Honda 4 wheelers and haven't had any issues with them. I have a Yamaha, but am going to look at a Honda for my next quad.

Well I bought it. It seems to be real solid. Fires right up. Shifts smooth, and rides great. Now just have to tune it up a bit.

I bet it gives you years of dependable work.

If it's in decent shape and a good price, I wouldn't think twice about it. They are reliabe units and should give you years of service.
