Quads??????????

[skyhuck]

Hi guys could do with some advice.

 

I have promised my boys, 12 and 13, they can have a quad each for Xmas.

 

I know NOTHING about quads

 

I have looked a Yamaha blaster, seems they could be OK, your opinions please.

 

Any advice would be most appreciated

 

Also I want to get one for myself, so I can go out with them, so what should I get, I'm 39, 5'11" and 13 stone.

 

Thanks guys

I have limited knowledge about quads, but stick to branded ones, such as yamaha, honda and the like as appose to cheap chinease rubbish.

 

IMO i would reccomend a motocross bike over a quad aswell but this isnt what your asking so ignore that lol

Hi Skyhuck my eldest lad at 13 has an Aprilla Quasar 50cc . Its quite nippy I also play on it from time to time .My youngest lad whos 7 jumps on it to . I had it when it was 1 year old in 2003 . Only changed the spark plug as its never been any bother . My eldest lad was actually 7 when we had it . Problem is the young un thinks its his .

My ols boss had a Polaris, pretty big thing and it was AWESOME, id be looking at them if i were you (for you, not your lads)

have a look at the yamaha raptor 150's for your lads and i parts are easy to get i believe (thats if you will even need them)

i have had a few dave, the best one i had that was nice and easy to ride yet the most fun was a polaris 250, it was automatic, you just stuck it in gear and away you went, iit wasnt twitchy like a lot of 2 wheel drive ones and i would let a 12 yr old play on one no bother, but it also had the oomff to have fun, nice and light too, if you get them stuck they are easy enought o pull out, and boys being boys they are going to coup and crash them, it just goes with the teritory mate, i would definately get them body armour and the right helmets. remember your boys with in a year are going to be expert nut cases on these things so will want a bigger one, quads really hold their value, i would find your local dealer and stick with him, if you are buying 3 then he will give you a great deal i wreckon. it is easy enough to restrict the throttle at first, probably best starting them on smaller cc ones at first but the bigger frame makes them more stable, they will wreck little 50cc's.

i have had a couple and know loads of people that have had and got quads, and the honda 90 would be the best quad by far for your lads, its fast and powerful enough for you to play with aswell. if you were going for a yasmaha you'd be better off with a breeze rather than a blaster

your best bet is two klf 220 s there so bomb proof and you can work them if needed[when there in school] ha ha . cheap to
