  |
|
Gday All, i'll try and keep this as short as possible
We're newbs at this and we need some advice as what quad to buy, I've just bought a 2nd hand 250 Timberwolf (for the kids) that's in pretty good nick, the plan is to use both quads on our local beach, camping etc.
thinking along the lines of an Ozark or the Big Bear 250, it'll be carrying an adult and a 10 yr old and some camping gear, would these be suitable choices ?
we're not extreme newbs at riding, the kids have both had bikes that they've outgrown and i've always had dirt bikes.
thanks in advance for any info

If you're gonna ride 2 up then you should get an approved 2 seater, we don't need any more bad press.
Enjoy whatever u get....

for the price of an OZ-ARK you can get a CF Moto 500A it's a 2 seater from China but dont let that worry you it's a good bike
My 12 year old has an OZ-ARK she gets it going all most every where mum & I take the big 4X4s

It wasnt much with an adult on it (and 2 up would be deadly) also on lose river sand it likes to bog down a bit

read up on the Polaris x2 550, 2-up bike and retails @ $14,000.
Recently bought one, no problems as of yet, 2 year warranty. Depends if ya got the cash to throw around, id stay away from any of the cheaper chinese manufactured stuff, look em up on you tube they seem.....flimsy and outright dangerous. |

How about test drive the two unit and be the one to choose. Honestly its the riders preferences and not the unit.
