having lived on a farm most of my life, i have grown up on quad bikes and the likes, and i loved nothing better than when my dad would let me loose on them...

now polaris are releasing this bad boy for use on the public higways all you need is a car licence. and all the usual stuff, tax insurance etc. have a gander. me thinks id have one. if i had some spare cash. (for sale liver, hardly used..)

wow, all the disadvantages of a motorbike combined with all the disadvantages of a car! Don't get me wrong, I ike ATVs, but that's pointless....

Always funny to see how much money people spend to find another way

to meet god ....

I never would take a quad on the road .....

Does it have a rear diff? With a solid rear axle, they handle terribly on the road!

I rented a quad for half a day when I was in the Philippines (-insurance? tax? MOT? "You'll be ok if you see the Police, you're a foreigner" Hmmm, maybe the dollars in my pocket might have helped...). The roads over there were a mixture of dirt tracks and concrete 'main roads'. It was good fun (if a little anti-social?) riding along roads through the jungle and along the sea front. The handling was weird and cornering at 40+ mph on the road was a sketchy affair...

dunno, but most of the ones i have been on have a diff, and they all handled pretty well on the road, (well enough for having balloon tyres lol)

suppose there like marmite, love it or hate it.

I love quads, been racin and safi on loads of different ones, think there as danegerous as can be, but I voted for the "try and stop me" one !

I must say with the standards of other road users, as much fun as a quad might be in a field, on the road would be asking for it. Also, apart from the one in your link, they aren't designed for extended use on tarmac, and cornering as you are aware, on solid ground at anything other than walking pace, is a little scary. Don't do it would be my advice.

Hmmm. So for the money I can have one of these or an IHI conversion? :rubchin:

Road legal quads been around ages, I was going to get one instead of getting my vRS, but noone woudl insure it without it being kept in a garage, and I havent built a garage yet. One day...!

SO much fun.

another day another pointless poll... come back william all is forgiven.....

What ever happened to William?

Anyway, sexy looking quad, although I wouldn't buy one!

I looked into getting one in the summer, but to get a nice one was about 7k, I tried the cheap ones currently being advertised everywhere and they were of very poor quality

i wouldnt have one on the road, if i had enough money (very doubtful) and had a spare bit of land to use it on then wahaay!

I think quads are great fun and wanted to buy one a couple of years ago,loved the look of yamaha 660 raptors but they are seriously expensive for what they are and couldn't justify spending that kind of money on one but if i won the lottery i'd have one straight away:thumbup:

What ever happened to William?

He did pop back briefly a few weeks back, but it looks like he's been retired again :confused:
