I remember when they launched the atc110 I was like wow what a small and efficient machine. Then the atc 125, still small and powerful. The atc 185? Pretty big and very powerful. Then the Big Red…I said to myself that’s it, this is the end of the evolution line, this thing is a monster, with REVERSE??? Now in 2024, my 2006 Rubicon 500 is a rather small and underpowered machine by today’s stsndards… Time flies.
@@mmodnaoIt was around 1985-ish that my neighbor bought the first Honda Forman, he did tons of work with it, the last time I see it was 10 years ago and plastic was all gone but it still ran... I bought the 1996 Artic Cat 454 Bearcat atv, it was the biggest atv for about 3 months, I hauled lots of firewood and plowed snow with it....
Brother Baldwin New in 86 I got it now all I need is the front pivot bolt right hand side holds the wheel on I lost it on the field and then they plowed help me
Yes, I believe the early ones had racks made by a MN company, Hondlaine eventually produced some as well. I've owned 1986 Fourtrax 4x4s with both variations. @@joe4966
One of the strongest quads out there, thanks for sharing!
This is AWESOME John! Another incredible factory video.
Thanks Greg, yes these old tapes from Honda are the best!
Still have one, just keeps on running!!!
I never saw this back then. Very cool!
Almost 40 years ago, where'd the time go, I was impressed the first time I see one haul firewood and plow snow...................

I had a 1986 forman 350d put a million miles on it, straight axle front end it was a tough machine and heavy.
If it only could switch from 2 to 4wd. Great machine
I want to go back...
Yes, me too. lol
I been trying to go back
Good times , I just bought a 2024 foreman
I had one of these awesome machines ! Traded for several firearms. Not sure who got the better deal.😢
Do you have the las Vegas video where first show the 4x4 of the Honda fourtrax
No, never seen that one?
@@MacWorthVintageATVs yeah I haven't seen it in over 20 years but it's similar to the ad they use a helicopter too lower it down from a building

I dont know why I automatically thought they came standard with racks kinda doesn't look right without them
You might think a machine like that would come standard, most owners probably purchased them.
@MacWorthVintageATVs the way they pushed the Farm/construction/ man's man work models, that should have had racks
@@joe4966 I'm sure honda
offered them... more money to offer them separately
