I'm glad to see that braaaptivities are evolving, because that means when I want a dirtbike again they'll be cheap because everyone has moved on to expensive ass 4wd quads and $25k SxS's's's'ss
Raptor 4x4...?

I kind of agree and kind of disagree.
I had sport quads in my 20's (I had a couple 400ex's and a DS450x). I road the shit out of them. They were a blast on fire roads, MX tracks and the badlands. I have since switched to utility quads. I prefer to shift and not have quads in the shop so I own Honda's. I have never looked back after the switch. That being said I do miss lifting the front tires, blasting fire roads and sliding corners. If Honda made a 700cc+ 4x4 sport utility with a DCT or 5 speed manual that went 65+ I would never miss my sport quads.
At this point my next toy will be a sport SxS.
Let's pick a Saturday for the badlands. Hopefully 40's sticks around for a few weeks.Oh she's adjusted good. I've spent a few hours dialing her in.... This newest clutch feels the best feels though, well see... Just needLead Pipe to create a ride to put some hours on her
Fuck all that noise! lmao!
Although my 89 Honda 250R with withe LRD (Now LED Performance) 330cc power valve kit was my favorite all-around quad. Honda knew what they were doing back then.
They were so sketchy. haha I only rode on a couple of times. In dirt it wasn't horrible when going straight or slower turns. Hanging off the side of it as a counter weight lmao. On sand it was a nightmare. Front wheel bouncing all over and constantly washing out one way or another unexoectidly. haha
My uncle had an older one where the tires were huge. He would drive it out onto the Rock River and tool around. But yes, halting production was the best idea they had.
I rode a 3 wheel Honda once when I was like 12ish. I was going down a path between fields when I hit a rock that was buried and it turned me right into the field instantly. I ran over like 20' of soy before I got back onto the path. I felt terrible for running over some of the plants. That was until I woke up the next morning to find out that one of the adults got wasted and took it out and literally mowed down an entire field!! I guess he was having fun running over the plants so he just kept going till he ran em all over.
Besides that, they are fun and definitely less stable than a quad. I can see how you could get hurt on them really easy. It goes wrong quick and without warning, but that is what makes it fun

1989, my pal was selling his 1985 Four stroke three wheelers, I think it was a ATC 350
In any event, a thirty something year old dude came out, did not speak English, had his pal to translate. He wanted a test run, we asked him if he knew how to ride, think he said
Oh Yes Amigo.....
He ripped down the street, no helmet, turned hard and rolled it at like 45mph
Ambulance came, he never regained consciousness and RIP
quad was pretty much ok after we bent the handle bars back... That thing was quick....
