Positioned in Honda's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Honda TRX500 Foreman features a 475 cc (29 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the TRX500 Foreman measures 176 kg (388 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 911 mm (35.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,292 mm (50.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14.7-liter (3.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
