Just seen this in the garage of an apartment block in Manchester!

The iphone pics dont do it justice.

Any Idea what it is and how much it cost anyone?

It look's terrible to my eyes, I've had a couple of quads purely for off-road/sand fun. I couldn't really imagine they would be much fun to drive on the road.

Hope it has a diff, most quads don't and as a result they are lethal at speed.

Search the classifieds on here for road-legal quads, they are all over it! Hideous things imo.

Cheap and nasty, they look all right but the build quality is terrible.

Quads are ste - all the draw backs of a bike (cold, no roof, largely unsafe in road accidents and you can't listen to the radio) with none of the advantages (fast as fk, small enough to nip through traffic, easy to manoeuvre and park)

I think its a commonly available chinese quad. It will fall apart after ten minutes and you have to wear trackies, reebok classics, a vest and loads of gold to ride it.

Really?

Mine's great. I'd love to see you tow a trailer full of fence posts and bags of concrete up the hill in my field with a motorbike tongue out
You couldn't do it with the quad pictured at the top either though - those tyres wouldn't quite cut the mustard (or mud in this case).

Looks terrible in my humble opinion.

You're doing it all wrong. That's why!
Take bags of cement and turn it into concrete later.

Quite. I always thought a road legal quad would be great until I tried one. They are designed for low traction surfaces such as mud and sand. As soon as you put one on super grippy tarmac the handling becomes awful and in corners the combination of far too much grip and a high center of gravity makes them feel very unstable. A diff makes them safer in the corners but also removes any element of fun from driving them both on and off road.

As said earlier, all the inconveniences of a bike with none of the benefits. And stance aside, that one looks a bit gash.

We used to deliver these quads for a Chinese manufacturer, the amount that used to come back after a week after breaking down was unreal, if you want a quad, get a Raptor smile
