I'm thinking about a quad bike, made road legal, with a roll cage fitted.

Has anyone experience of quad bikes & can recommend one with an electric start, powerful enough motor to stay safe in traffic, & is reliable? Thanks


What do you mean by roll cage fitted?

Have a kawasaki kvf 750 brute. Cracking bit of kit. The 650 we had before was a bit thursty and carbs needed balancing often. Elec injection etc on this one. Selectable switch 4wd/2wd, diff, 0-60 is too quick! Fun to do doughnuts in 2wd

I was looking at the pic with the 2 mil vehicles in. The MOD only has 450 Grizzlys in the quad fleet AFAIK.

As for the springer, the less said the better 110 D250 SE HT
