old school 518 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 im on a budget of about 2grand and I've been browsing thru eBay etc to see what's around... My mate has 350 Honda 4wd and I notice it's only ever on 3wd in sticky situations.... Yamaha grizzly seems to have a diff and great ground clearance so I'm leaning towards it but I see all sorts of odd makes on eBay that are reasonably priced and fairly newish... Any one any experience with those??? I really liked this one but it was gone when I enquired about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
old school 518 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Currently watching this one but I'm not that keen after I saw the reviews about how it handled http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=161718298925&globalID=EBAY-GB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the goat 642 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Got a kawasaki kvf 750 here for sale 2005 and only 500 odd hours on it. Road legal but £500 above your budget. The bike will pull anything it has some serious power but with my back I need IRS suspension so have just bought a king quad 500. Very clean and tidy bike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the goat 642 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I had a 550 grizzly. Doubt I'd ever have another the heads go on them regular. But when they're working they're very good 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've enquired about those before!! The first two are only 2wd and of little use to me and the Yamaha big bear I haven't been able to get thru to... He's either in newry or craigavon According to his previous ads!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
old school 518 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Has anyone dealt with these guys before? I'm just in the process of buying a grizzly from them... They seem genuine but I just thought I'd ask to be sure, they're based in carlisle and I'm paying him tomorrow evening and hopefully I'll have the machine by the weekend Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Having used and abused numerous quads I would say the best (in no particular order) are Honda, Yamaha and Can Am. Although the new Hondas are not what they were! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
