Bikes are supposed to be fun machines. Making something with a diesel engine and crap handling is wrong:001_smile:

[treequip]

how could they say its not a motorcycle?

 

Well we don't know that they said its not a bike that's just third hand information which may pr may not ve accurate.

 

I would hazard a guess that they said it can't be registered as a motoorbike because it dosent conform to the construction and use regulations.

To be used on the road between sites and for pricing and on work tracks. ATV's turn over too simple compared to bikes.

 

I have seen one with fuelcans and saw racks.

I'm not entirely sure I agree with that. I've been riding motorbikes since 1978 and worked with quads from 1997-2004. I've never come off a quad but bike spills (off road) are pretty much a certainty.
