Honda FM1 refers to a specific transmission type on Honda ATVs, indicating a manual shift with one-wheel drive. Back in my shop days, we used to explain it like this: the "F" stands for the family of the ATV, "M" tells you it’s a manual transmission (you’ll need to shift gears yourself), and "1" means it’s one-wheel drive instead of four-wheel drive.
It’s a simple setup, great for riders who like a no-frills, reliable machine without extra drivetrain complexity. If you’re looking at a Honda ATV with FM1 in the name, it’s probably one of the more affordable models—good for lighter-duty use or beginners getting the hang of riding.
