if money is a concern get something second hand off ebay.
You won’t be worried if you give it some beating.
Also, look it up for each model, they may have scooter/motorbike engines, see how much is to replace one and how easily it can be found.
Don’t count on warranty especially if you plan on doing things to it...

If you buy the Chinese crap you deserve the thing to topple onto you.

Some "Chinese tulip" are sometimes much better than the big name stuff. I might be able to beat the £3.2k but it will be a Chinese import. I have seen some quad bikes on the database from time to time. How quick do you need it? Let me if you know if you want me to have a quick hunt. There are issues getting stuff out of China by ship, but things are slowly (slower than a civil servant taking a dump, slow) returning to "normal"*.Originally posted by clearedforlanding View PostDoes anyone know much about these?
Options appear to be new Quadzilla @ c3.2k, new Honda @ 10k, or ancient Honda at 2k.
Now I am going to assume the the Quadzilla's are Chinese tulip, but with front & rear towbars + a winch installed I am leaning towards them, as all I need to do is tow the garbage bins on a trailer to the main road 1.5 miles away + a little boat down to the river.
With a 3 year warranty on the Quadzilla's, I am struggling to justify the outlay on the Honda & depreciation over the three year warranty period of the Quadzilla.
I was thinking of throwing a tow bar on the Mini Cooper Convertible I bought on eBay for 139 quid, but I have fallen in love with the thing. Ansolute hoot on country roads 30 mph feels like warp speed.
*Depends on a combo of product, producer, region of production, ship & shipper, destinations etc
