Another buddy was riding with some guys and one of them hit a stump and bent the frame on his Honda Foreman.

They will all bend if subjected to enough force.

I have a friend that hit the back of a flatbed semi-trailer at 5 mph and did over $8k in damage to his new Chevy Z-71 pickup. It didn't bend his frame though.

Did he have skids?

You can get insurance to cover whatever you want. I totalled a 06 Brute out and it was replaced by the insurance co with an 07 model.

OMG...  this prolly would be "terrible news" if you would have just said... " he was rideing a wheelie and when he landed the frame bent"... but no, this guy crashed this thing with a flip and 3 rollovers at 30mph doing a wheelie!! HELLO!!!! those types of impacts will tear anything up!! stop blameing the frame and blame the weak spot between the seat and the handlebars...

Hondas are bulletproof, Rolled mine, hit trees, and other stupid things and the only thing wrong is a front bumped that is pushed in about an inch! Hondas take a beating and last forever.
