Road legal quads

HiFonics:
If you are planning to do that kind of journey daily you want a decent quad. Most of the quads you see around today are Chinese made tat and are not built to last and parts availablity can be questionable.

You really need to do your research on quads as you need to look at how the drivetrain works. A lot of the utility quads dont have diffs on the axles which makes them horrible to corner on tarmac.

How the quad is registered also makes a difference. You can register a quad as PLG or agricultural. For the distances you are travelling I think PLG is the only option open for you so you will need tax, mot and insurance just like a car.

Thanks HiFonics - what kind of brands have you got in mind?

HiFonics:
You really need to be looking at the big Jap bike manufacturers like Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda. Quadzilla and Polaris could also be a possibility but I am not that familiar with them. My personal preference is Honda as they tend to last for ever, even with mistreatment.

I was at the local bike meeting at the weekend and someone came in on a quad he had built. Fine, we're all into building!

This was made from a GSX-R! I don't think that would go round corners as well as it goes in a straight line, even if you know the technique!   :-k

Cal:
Any idea on mpg most quads can get?

Thanks
