Haha there's no point beating around the bush mate, if its a good laugh you'll end up throwing money at it why should it be any different to a car lol.

I can imaging a quad being a good laugh on a warm day and maybe a wet one oh and maybe in the snow........ Why don't I own a quad!

I've had a go on one of these, they bloody go like a stabbed rat. I was quite surprised how quick it was to be honest.

A chap in town had one with an R1 engine fitted, god knows what that would go like.

Shame, good quads. I used to sell them. I preferred the DS650 Bombardiers but there wasn't a huge amount in it. Just be wary of road registered off-road bikes. They might be road legal as it were but getting an insurance payout may prove tricky given it wasn't manufactured for road use. Only a limited number of bikes were ever properly road homologated. The Bombardier Quest was back in my time doing it.
