the missus and i are going to treat ourselves to a couple of quads in the new year and i being an ex superbike owner kinda know what i need (fast/big) and the missus wants a mid-range jobbie :cool: can anyone give any advice on which is best for price,power,spares and i forgott to mention they will be for off-road only.

 

ps: last quad i rode was a banshee and that was a blast

I got a 660cc Raptor, awesome fun.

In my experience, its not worth getting any of these Chinese £600 jobs of ebay, the frames are weak, and the engines are under powered, especially if using off-road.

Keep the thumb throttle, if fitted, It takes some getting used to after riding motorbikes for years, but makes it a shed load easier to control off-road.

Stick with the big name stuff, Yamaha, Suzuki, etc, it is more expensive, but it will last longer and take more punishment then a cheaper alternative.

Was it steve J that was in to the Quads on here Someone might here a phone number or e-mail for him. i was gona say ask one of the mods on here but you don't need too lol

no i fancy a stonking 4 stroke with low down power,them LC,s bring in the power like a light switch and thinking of years ago i rode a proper race tz :shock: the thing would stall if pulling away under 8000 rpm but then it was fireworks night :rofl:

Remember for off road 3 wheels are more fun than 2 or 4!!!!.. Bought a little 110 Honda ATC in the summer and praying for snow next week!!
