I got my kids a honda xr50r a month or 2 ago. I need something to ride around with them. I will probably go out a good bit without the kids also. Which one is more fun all year long? I was thinking quad so I could just put one kid on the quad with me while the other is riding the bike, but I guess I could do the same thing with a bike. The only experience I have with a dirt bike is riding this little 50 around my yard and the only experience with a quad I have is, well, none. ---

quad. especially cause if your kid needs help cause he got stuck or falls over, you can just hop off the quad, rather than search for somewhere to put your bike. plus, bikes suck when its muddy/wet etc when you are just out tryin to have fun. ---

thanks how big of a quad? I do not want a race quad, I like the 4x4 ones. I see a few in the 400cc range, is that big enough to get hurt on. 😃 ---

Outlander 800 will burn tire pretty far down the street from what I hear I would get a 4x4, more practical for around here. I would buy something bigger than a 400, but… you dont NEED something bigger than a 400. My bro had a 450 Yamaha Kodiak, it was defiantly good enough. ---

I would buy something bigger than a 400, but… you dont NEED something bigger than a 400. My bro had a 450 Yamaha Kodiak, it was defiantly good enough. 🆒 I really just want something to play around in the woods with, I don’t want to get stuck every 15 minutes, but I don’t need something that will tow a house. ---
