deeveus 81 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I've got a 2003 Suzuki Vinson LTA-500 which I've had for a while now but am interested in getting a KingQuad LTA-700 Fuel Injected, they rekon they are super quick. There's one in Timaru which I'm going up to look at next Saturday. Bike is only used for fishing up at the Waitaki river & I've had water up to the bottom of the seat river depth wise. Heres a pic of my current Vinson below. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|ncary 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I've had probably a couple thousand hours on quadbikes, (farm child till 18) I attribute everything I know about car handling to riding quads since 4 years old. A 700 injected must fricken move!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted April 6, 2009 I love quad bikes! Old mate had 4 brand new suzuki automatic ones last year which we put in 2wd and drifted the length of his huge paddock , was heaps of fun, went bloody quick! Now that i look back it was quite dangerous but i'm still alive today (Would do it again though ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) The Vinson drifts like nothing else, has a solid rear axle & not independant so its more stable, just not so good riding, helps with new tyres though. In RWD at 60-70kph I can drift it all the way around corner (gravel ofcourse) and not have my balls up around my ears, the single banger 500 has more than enough grunt for it. The 700 is the ultimate for me, it should satisfy my needs for power, I just can't get enough of the stuff! EDIT: Will post pics of the 700 when I get it back from Timaru!

Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted April 6, 2009 Quad bike was my main transport when I worked on farms. Bloody good fun! Not so fun when you hit a rock at 70K, smash a wheel and endo it 7 or 8 times while you fly through a cow sh*t encrusted paddock and land in a heap! We've got one for the beach house, why? I'm not too sure, but it's great fun for tooling round in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 We use a new 700 Kingquad as our main vehicle at work, quite grunty but you get used to it pretty quick. Has IRS so the bums a bit wobbly on hills, but handles pretty good on the flat. Clever 4wd too, will go places our 6wd Polaris cant As a fun vehicle tho, why not go for whatever the new version of the 660 Raptor is now? Surely theyd handle better than a smelly old Kingquad!!

I would go raptor or the likes, but I bought the bike I have now for fishing & hunting. Be useless for a Waltex Box & rod/gun rack on the front LOL.
