My 2002 Honda 450s Foreman has a foot shifter, which I personally like better, but it also has a shift button on the right to select 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive like your 500.
Being able to take them in and out of 4x4 makes a huge difference on the handling. I have a 04 450es that I need to rebuild right now, that one you can take in and out.
@Brody Campbell That speedo might of been off a newer 450 because that yellow one was a 1998 I believe and they didn’t come out with the selectable 2x4 4x4 until 2004
unfortunately the new assault wasnt in the cards for this year...lost my $500 deposit on it. I did get to put some miles on one though and ill post the video soon.

Having both myself, The 450 will go through twice as much snow they are a better machine in my opinion

I like the older ones with the same size tires all around .
Are you talking the 450?
@@rockspowersports Eie . the smaller one .
@@TheYeti308 gotcha!
Imo the honda foreman 400 is better then both obviously the 400 and 450 are pretty much identical
That 450 had selectable 2 and 4 wheel drive because it had the 4 lights on top of the screen instead of just 3 but the switch is missing which is odd

Any riding videos coming of the new assault?

My son has the 07 foreman but likes my 03 rancher better for mobility
@mike d Those smaller machines do fit places a lot better.

Too bad sound cut out..I have the same 98 trx 450es
They are very rugged built atvs.
500 has twin valve. more much power
He has the wrong dash on that second fourweller
@A country boy 999
I know it was from a newer foreman that you could take in and out of 4x4.
Ok I have a 1998 forman 450 es and mine has 3 lights so I was just curious
My 2003 450 allows 2x or 4X wheel drive. I think they are closer to 425cc.
@@artsmith103 your 450 is probably a 2003 and up that's when they offered that
@@artsmith103 they are 432cc
