2012 Honda TRX500 FM Foreman

Choose your trim:
The Honda TRX500FM Foreman is built to handle the toughest jobs. But when the work is done and the weekend dawns, the Foreman can't wait to show you its fun-loving side. No matter how you use your Foreman, you'll love its powerful 475 cc air-cooled engine that churns out torque low in the rev range yet also has exciting top-end performance thanks in part to its hemispherical combustion chamber. A precise foot-shift transmission, easily switchable 2WD/4WD, stable yet comfortable suspension, and specially designed front disc brakes with thick, long-life brake pads, all combine to make your work more productive, and your play way more fun.
