Now we are starting to get a few more members with different quads, how about some reviews of your machines, we all like to read about how good (or bad) other quads are, even owners of chinese quads can post their opinions, we wont laugh-honest .

ok should i start
kawasaki kfx700
great all round it will do anything but it is not the best at anything that is type specific
pretty quick when stock but if you get the right parts can be very very quick
handles well but it is a heavy beast but then again with poss best ground clearance of any sports quad it dont get stuck (well not that much)
ltd edition plastics are brittle but mine are still mint (touch wood) and 2 years old now but my wifes did not last 6 months after she flipped it after a 8' dry stone wall got in her way
best bit it is the easest quad ever to wheelie
i love them

nah as wellzy said no 4x4 on the kfx only the brute force
but if you check out the gncc races in the states the kfx is beating the all new renegades:cool:

I think the only limits are money and time, more power needs better brakes and handling which means many pounds .
I would love a go on a Banshee, I always loved my RD350LC years ago .

The KFX 700 looks good, but how much money are you willing to spend on it??
And how much power do you really need/want??
I guess the sky is the limit (well almost) like all quads we all put extra's on them and endup spending a small fortune on them.
