well worth there money, but go for a four wheel drive as there is no traction with two wheel drive's, and when there is you will be pulling it out of a tree.:eek::cool:

I dont want to get one, why would I when I like what I have got, its plenty fast enough and extremely tough, my next quad purchase will not be for a few years, the Predator is a great quad with loads of go and the things you can do to that engine can turn it into a rocketship .
You buy a Honda if you like them so much .

I know mate, you can only really do a fair review if you have experience of owning a particular quad, you were merely expressing an opinion, which is cool but not very informative .
Perhaps you could do a review of your quad, I would be interested in it .

well what can i say about honda.
there reputation has grown over the years. i have tested two types of honda both 350.
1st 1993 four wheel drive honda 350 utility quad a well working one goes for around £1200-£1500 and is more than worth it's money.
good bits are:
this quad has amazing grip and power for it's age it performs as good as a brand new quad, starts first time, will go any were, brakes will throw you over handle bars if not careful, can pull range rovers out of the deapest rubbish and s**t never lacks the power to get you over them hills, soft ride even over ruts, pot holes and stones. planty of cheap easy to get a hold of spares.
Bad bits:
the steering on the honda 4 wheel drive is stiff even when moving and the wheel bearings need replacing every year, finding reverse for a beginner who has never driven a honda before is impossible and honda's are very popular on the stolen quad market so these machines need to be very well protected.
2nd 2003 honda two wheel drive (300) utility quad. offered one for £1300 but needed new wheel bearings (£200-£300)
up to date easy to read lcd screen telling you every thing even when brakes need changing, more than enough power, but tried to pull range rover out with honda and could not do it due to being to light and being two wheel drive so used over honda to pull out jeep then had to rescue two wheel drive honda as had gettin stuck, when going at high speed even just a little turn and the back end wants a turn and swinges out so high speed turning will end in injury or a tree. does not fair as well as four wheel drive model as it lacks grip, weight, towing ability and safty feutures as you might get back home alive but if you leave the ignition on for more than 2 hours you will come back to a quad with a flat battery and all of the electronics will have reset them selves but has that ever growing important soft steering even with nearly no wheel bearings it still only needed a finger light touch to turn.http://www.honda.co.uk/atv/rangeTrx350TM.html
basicly if you want a reliable quad and are willing to spend £4000-£5000 on a utility quad then a brand new honda 4 wheel drive will be right for you. would be best to try before you buy but has plenty of power wih 300cc engine and anything bigger than that would be a massive benefit for them 4x4 vs atv pulls and would be real challenge for all 4x4's and they have been warned!

All quads are imported, we dont make them in this country .

not all are from china, and the ones that are from china that are not crap is because the parts are made somewere else and then imported in to china and when the quads are built they go under strict controled tests, unlike this crap that china is making that you are lucky if it even makes it out of the workshop with out breaking, christ when mine was delivered we had trouble getting it started and it was brand new.:rolleyes::cool:

Who said anything about quads from China, I stated that all quads are imported into the UK from abroad, which is a fact .
Sadly, we do not make quads in this country .

i what was saying, it does not matter where they are made as long as the parts they are made out of are hard and long lasting.:cool:
