Did you have a 500 Pioneer SxS or a 500 ATV?

I've had both. A few of the sxs 500 but my last foreman was probably 2006 or so

Honda. And forget it. You will never replace it.

I have a 2004 450 Foreman and a 2005 350 Rancher. Both ES. Great motors. They weren't made for south LA mud and water (except for engine) so have had issues with wheel bearings, axle bearings, tie rods, rear brakes, shift sensors. Fortunately I can do all that. But now frame is rotting away. But both start up like a race horse out of the gate and engines are smooth as silk.

I wouldn’t care if the 700-4 was delivered from a time machine and assembled by the finest Japanese craftsmen, those things are dogs. I’m sure Polaris has had its issues with how many they sell, but at least they design them like they actually went out and used one first.

1 Honda
2 Kawasaki
3 Polaris

If you have to go into swampy, muddy, watery areas daily then go with Polaris.

The new Hondas appear to be very high quality. And their service is best.

If we’ll talking strictly longevity in the face of neglect, I’ve got a Yamaha big bear from the 90s that is still kicking.

I don’t care if it lasts 30 years if it’s a pain in the arse to use and I don’t enjoy it.

I have a 2015 pioneer 700-4 and a 2023 can am defender 900 2 seater. There is no comparison between the 2. Honda is severely under powered, slow, rough, and when you think you may get stuck theres no gasing on it to get out bc there isnt enough power. The defender is smooth, power for days and way more accessories available for them. Not to mention the Honda has constant transmission issues.
