hi, im thinking about getting a quad bike, a road legal one and i have looked for ages on the internet but can't really find anything. just wondering how fast a 250cc, 350cc, 500cc and 700cc quad would go??
cheers xxx
Dont' get too big, they become heavy and dont' handle as well.
If you like speed, you'll want something light you can whip around corners and get some decent air on jumps and ruts.
I got a 250 and I'm like 5'8 175. It tops out around 55mph and it's not even a racing quad. If you get one designed for racing between 250 and 350 you'll be happy. Anything bigger you may get more top end, but it'll be less fun on tracks and paths with curves.
Don't bother with pavement except to get from your house to the woods/sand pits/wherever you ride. It's boring on the road. If you want to ride on the road, get a street bike or a dual purpose bike.
