Default quad bikes????

basically i'm after a quad to chase my boy around the fields on his little lt50 but i dont want to spend the earth if its gonna sit in the yard from weekend to weekend.i've found some smc rams on the net for around the 800 squids mark but i was wondering if parts are readilly available for them.i dont really wanna go down the chingchong route as they are a bugger to get bits for but they are cheap.any help would be a bonus

I know a chap with a quadzilla and he had to have some thing pretty major replaced (i cant remember what though ) and didn't struggle for bits. I think it was in for a few days max. Looks brilliant for the money, not quite as well made as the suzukis, yams etc...

Get a ex farm ATV i.e honda big red or fourtrack, should be able to pic one up fairly cheap and they will go for ever, some of them are swichable 4wd too so you can have plenty of fun on them and go anywhere!

ah thats a shame, i used to work on a farm, i used to rag round on a big red 300 2wd, used to have so much fun spreading slug pellets on a 50 + acre field in the summer heat!

look for a non runner lt 80 (if you want to stay cheap and small so he can upgrade to it later)its always fuel or the pullstart

i bought a minter chingchong 1 for Ł70 and the oil had turned to glue, forced it to start got it hot changed the oil to super S and its been perfect since, pissed over our lt50 and i can ride it for ever on 2 wheels

i had a quadzilla and the quality was piss poor Ł100 paid Ł200 sold 2 weeks later

maybe a off roads buggy, theres a fair few about
