Buggies?

<< < (2/2)

Saffy:
Keeping an eye on this thread, am interested in either motorbike, quad or buggy for fun and commute and scraping funds together to that effect. I have my Series1 landy to sell or swap it for something as I would need to make room and not break the 3 vehicle rule.

LandRoger:

Saffy if i get to borrow the 450 Buggie for the weekend  i could pop over to your patch so you could try it !, cant see me getting a big multi cylinder engine surely the whole character of a revy lump is all wrong for offroading think i would prefer a single cylinder thumper with good torque band, :undecided: :grin:

You have a point, though there is a good power range on most multi's. Bigger singles can be hard to get hold of, but you'll know better what you'd prefare once you've had a run on a 450.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!   Had my tryout in a Buggie  600 Suzuki engine what a rippa  i was told to not be afraid to give it stick so i gave it some respectfull revs and it kicked me in the ass and i spun it out ,loads of power but it did seem to all come at once think that was down to the gearing  the lad that owns it said he had several sprockets and engine cogs but had only tried 2 of them, i did get used to it after a few miles of lanes,  the long travel  shocks/springs gave a really nice complient ride it had Suzuki Jimny 16" wheels with AT tyres  but it does have a set of Quad hubs wheels that it usually sits on also impressed with the nicely padded reclining Rally seat the steering is very pointable and precise ,i was passed by a couple of lifted Disco,s  and i wasnt keen on the feeling of vunrability that you get looking at the tread of a huge Mud tyre ,would i buy one? no not for any kind of road going duties loads of fun off road but a lot of money to keep as a toy,
