Looking to replace my 2006 Honda Foreman. Great bike but would like to know what is out there in new. Has to be an ATV not UTV. Wet muddy operations with some rocky Texas operation. Looking for reliability and longevity and as good a ride as possible. What sayeth y’all. Thanks. Oh and reasonably priced.

you can always upgrade to a 2008 honda foreman.

It will be another honda. Nothing else comes close.

Run that foreman until the wheels fall off! It’s all junk now.

You already have it, 
Change the Battery,
Change the Bearings and bushings
Change the carburetor
Change the oil
Put new tires
Good for another ten years.
I have a 2002 Honda Foreman 450

They’re going to start around $9k.

I’m not sure how the other Can-Am ATV’s ride but my 2022 or 2023 Outlander 1000R rides and handles amazing. I would guess the 550’s ride similar.
It’s light years better than my 2007 Honda Rincon
I’m sure Honda’s ride has improved over the last 16 years but I feel like I can run 45 mph over some pretty rough spots on that can am vs my Rincon and even my Ranger SXS.

Get a new Honda.
And sell me your old one.

What do you not like about the current bike?
A new foreman is gonna be the most reliable and best bang for your buck, but you’re probably not gonna notice a massive difference. Every honda automatic I’ve driven never seems to be able to find the right gear, and the suspensions could be better. Could always go manual shift.
As far as ride quality in the utility type stuff, the Yamaha grizzly feels like riding on a cloud and the transmission reads your mind. It’s gonna be a close second behind the Honda as far as reliability.

I don’t know much about the newer models, but I’ve had a Yamaha Kodiak 450 (2003) and now Grizzly 700 (2008) and they have been terrific. I don’t abuse them but also don’t baby them or keep up with maintenance like I should. If I ever upgrade I’ll probably be looking at another Yamaha. They never let me down.

I love my 2023 Polaris, rides better than any I have tried. Supposedly QC is better now, but I'll wait and see I guess. It has more power than I need, but it's sure fun to have on tap. I'd say whatever you pick, look for a 2023 as they have some nice discounts on them now. My 2023 Sportsman 570 Premium was 9142.00 OTD with 3.5 year warranty after some arguing.

The best value is the kodiak 700 from yamaha.
Realiable. No chinese bearings. Just a good bike.
22hp isn't something I can deal with. 40-50 is ideal.

It is pretty hard to beat a mid 90's 300 Honda. Damn things are indestructible and what I like most about them is that was before 4wheelers became the size of damn Chevette.

I have a 2011 Suzuki Kingquad 350 and the only problem I have ever had is the speedometer doesn't work since my son flipped it into a pond 10 years ago.

Suzuki makes a phenomenal ATV. I’ve owned two since 1995 and never had ONE problem that wasn’t related to normal wear and tear. My Dad has had one since 2014. Same reliability. Suzuki makes bikes that live up to Honda’s reputation. Honda can’t even say that.
As for value and ride quality, their 500 would probably be best. 400 is a good farm machine, but doesn’t have independent rear suspension.

2006 Honda Foreman
You have a 17 year old Honda Foreman. Therein lies your answer if looking for a new ATV.
I have a 2005 Honda 500 Rubicon. It's a beast. Not fast but I pull trailers in and out of the field with people, guns, goose spreads, etc... in it. I use it on my small trailer that carries 2 yards of dirt and mulch around the yard. Hard to beat a Honda.

1981 Honda 200 three wheeler still doing work for me! Unbelievable reliability.
