Im going to need a quad bike very soon for work and just wanted advice on what makes models to look for and avoid I have driven one in the past but cant remember what it was :-? the guy owned a helicopter so he did have the top of the range of everything, my budget may bit a lower than his

Ignoring the fact that they are more dangerous than a Reliant Robin, why do you want a quad?

All I see in a quad is that you still sit in traffic (just as you do in a car), you get wet when it's raining (because you have no body), and they are inherently unstable when cornering.

For reliability,Honda take some beating,although all the Japanese makes should be pretty good.

I knew you would come to your senses sometime or other.

Yamaha's are very good mate won't go far wrong

[tmx]

id avoid the rubbish chinese copies though

[albitz]

Dont disagree mate,point me in the direction of a very nice but very cheap R1 and I will be a yamaha convert. 8-)

I know where there is a "Fizzer" going Albs... fast enough for you  

[albitz]

Probably not,Ive heard it has a few cobwebs that need blowing out

70mph is more than fast enough on one of those things (yes, they will reach that with the right attention).

its for off road, mainly to exercise lurchers. I have only got little legs and cant keep up with them, need something to get them fit. Will also be for towing gang mowers and trailer. I live on a country park and surrounded by fields and have land owners permission to go where I want Will also use it in the winter with my labrador on pheasant shoot I know they can be dangerous but not at the speeds I go

Its a bit of an in joke KW,I call his Thunderace a Fizzy and he calls my cbr600 a ss50.

My mates boy has the CBR600-RR....what a hell of a machine that is.

He's had it tweaked...it's 0-130 time is absof**kinglutely phenomenal...and it hits 160 no problem.

Handling....can't fault it...if anything, it is really forgiving as far as the novice is concerned.

Never been a "resin rocket" fan myself, but I could give serious consideration to something like the RR for sure.
