Improving something that works perfectly well and is very popular is never easy. Honda's workhorse TRX500 Foreman is a good example - it does most things pretty competency and has almost become standard issue on farms across the arable side of the country. But it's now been five years since Honda last updated the Foreman, so the company reckoned it was time for a revamp. The new model is the fifth generation of Foreman and claims - among other things - to have more pulling power and better downhill braking. Suffolk Honda dealer Fieldens lent us both new and old models and Chelsworth livestock manager Michael Mumford provided a range of terrain for us to compare and contrast the two machines. Both ATVs had the standard manual gearbox, which Fieldenssays accounts for 85% of Foreman sales to its farmer customers.
