Thread: XR650R

No road riding leathel but uncles farm track is 14km long from one end to the other, and its a mother when its wet, or heinously windy, and a widowmaker when its both.

I was just musing over a larger bike making the job easier, but it seems the negatives outweigh the positives.

I might look for a soft top Suzuki SJ413 to leave down there, I can make up a good roll cage for it and a fold down windscreen, but there not that easy to find in good condition these days.

I have used a large polaris countless times, and apart from it being gutless, noisy, hard to steer, crap brakes and the drive belt slips when you dont want it to, Id rather walk.

They have 3 or 4 quads on the farm, Fuel inj Hondas, 420cc from memory, auto with push button on the handlebars, 4wd, and they are very good, unless you load them up with stags, then they feel like a death trap.

I could just shoot the little ones I suppose....
