beauty of two wheels its so easy to go along side of hill not possible with quad, ,prefer a light weight one as easier to pull out of overgrown sheep drains

Indicative price £3,5k and no range issues
I know the Atv services lot well, I’ll enquire if I can blag a test drive of one . I did watch a video last week of the NZ army driving a mob of them .
Same here, my better half has done the research on it, she thinks it would suit her a treat . I just phoned the Atv services sales guru, and awaiting an e mail with a price !What an interesting tool, I could sell see my buying one as it would be so usable by Herself, as well as me.
tit puller gets tits pulled?Girl who does the milking 4 afternoons a week, "knows" the tractor driver and a couple of lads down the village, but I wouldn't say she's a bike
Road registered too!!They should be fine now, I would expect Atv services would be one of the biggest sellers of Atv’s in Scotland. I’ll give him a ring and report back !

Have you seen what those DT175's make now?Had loads of farm bikes here over the years, current model is a WK125 - cheap Chinese thing, pretty rubbish, but nobody is going to nick it because it's crap. Often conks out resulting in a push home.
Over the years there have been;
Suzuki ts185 - father's favourite, did 15 years or so until it rusted out and fell apart.
Yamaha ty80 - my starter bike, did ages 8-12 quite well, then I was too tall for it.
Yamaha dt175 - bought cheap, reasonable bike, did a couple of years then got stolen
Yamaha xt350 - little bit top heavy and father dropped it quite a bit, had a fair few issues with reliability and then the spark plug snapped off one day. Got rid.
Suzuki drz400 - great bike, needed high octane petrol or wouldn't run properly. Possibly a bit on the heavy side if you dropped it or the stand sunk in. Some toerag nicked it
WK 125 - bought new with insurance proceeds. Utterly rubbish, but nobody is going to nick it. Father copes with it, I walk round the cows.

Be interested to hear what you think - a mate has a fleet of 6 of them. I may be one of the first people to land a backflip on an UBCO electric bike
They are seriously good - must admit I was really sceptical but that all evaporated in about 150 metres. Gobfuls of torque and low COG, it feels like a mountain bike with a cinderblock where the pedals would be.
Two wheel drive is better than expected, a bit "funny" when standing up at low speed as they almost seem jerky until you get them lined up and then you're off.
My next farm bike will be one of these
