The problem with quads has been pointed out clear as day here and it's the fact they lull people into a false sense of security and give the user confidence that they shouldn't have

Hence why I said you need to understand the limitations of quads.
The reason why so meany experienced riders crash them is due to getting complacent and taking for granted what they can and cannot do.

The thing with a 2 wheeler is a novice or inexperienced rider can easily make a hash of things, and when you are tired wet and muddy in the middle of the bush shit inexperience multiplies rapidly. I've ridden some nasty trails on my 2 wheeler that you would never dream of taking 4 wheeler on, but it could have gotten nasty real quick.

For a general farm hack I'd personally have a 2 wheeler, but for a hunting bike that is going to be loaded up with gear and going down known bad trails I'd go for a quad.
