I'm thinking abu getting one of these quads, seem to be quite cheap now 2nd hand.

Whats the legalities with a licence, can you drive them on a car licence after 2001 and up to what size.

What would the insurance be like for one?

Can you take a passenger?

Has anybody found them to be too slow in a particular cc and would have prefered something bigger than say a 250cc?

Cheers lads

 

My mate had a quad on the road with a cat b license. His was shit slow though, think it was a 125 or 250.

 

660 raptor mate only way to go or the suki 400 are the only 1's id go for

 

just sold my suzuki ltz 400 2day was mint yeh drive on car license im 29 and it cost me 212 with bikesure

 

yes mate they can be driven with a car licence with any size engine.

if your going to buy 1 dont waste your money on 1 of these shitty imports,
they are seriously slow and poorly built, personally id go for either a
honda trx450
yamaha raptor 660 or 700
yamaha yfm 450
yamaha banshee 350
suzuki ltz400
kawasaki kxf400

they cost a little more but are worlds apart from the rest of the cheap crap.

 

Never see anything but Chavs on them, sorry

 

Mate has raptor with r1 engine in it,dangerously rapid!!!

 

Never been a fan of quads, either on or off road, but saw a pair of these in Florida and thought "Oh, YESSSS!!"




According to The Times, they can be driven on a car licence, and no need for a helmet.

Take your bike test and get a motorbike

Quads have all the disadvantages of cars and bikes rolled into one.

Very well summed up.

 

700 raptor turbo yes.
anything else no,the worst of a bike and the worst of a car combined

 

They look hurrendous!! Like an even worse version of a Goldwing! LOL!

I think id rather chew my own face off than own one of them, bet they cost a fortune too!

Wouldnt mind a raptor though, they look mental fun! As said though they are lethal, but not as bad as a shit import quad, my mate had a fixed axle thing not so long back and it is ridiculous how they are road legal! Proper piece of shit! Id deffo want something with some sort of diff rather than a fixed axle job!!

This would do a treat..........

my mate sells quads and also does the quadzilla ones - i went on one the other week a 300cc quadzilla - was fooking shitting my pants as i have hardly ever been on a bike.

defo would recommend a helmet tho - as then no one see what cunt is riding it

 

I was speaking to a few local traffic cops about this a while back.

Given you are driving under a car license, if you want to ride one without a helmet. A seatbelt must be worn.

In short...a helmet must be worn. Although if it was under a motorbike license, seemingly no helmet is required.
