They are a lot of money new for what they are
Quad bike
- Thread starter Gedd
- Start date
Definitely a lot compared to how much you can buy a Honda pioneer for
Couldnt really justify a new
one here think that is a better deal for me

The same bits wear out new or old
Starting to think that myself. Bought a honda 520 pioneer and really like it but when I washed it the other day, half then black paint come off leaving a lot of rust on the suspension wishbones etc. it is only 6 months old so rang Lloyds and rep arrived took photos and an hour later rang back to say honda has said they were not interested. Did mention I bought it from Lloyds not honda so not I am not a happy bunny. Firstly poor build quality ( I might as well bought a CF Moto) and then poor response to a warranty claim.

They are all the same, our buggy had rust within 6 months , not good enough on a near 19k machine

The only way with those things is to go a bit more public about it but even then I doubt they would care.
Honda were the best quads and trikes of the lot they had a good name. The first 420 we had (we’ve had 3) was pee poor when I got it stuck it felt like I was going to pull bits off it pulling it out by hand they really went back over when that model came out. Ball joints wheel bearings back axles and hubs all don’t last five minutes on our going. The one I have now has 40,000 ks on it but it’s triggers broom
What make?

Corvus, generally it’s been ok , yanmar engine is faultless, build quality is a bit crap

I’ve had a few pops at Corvus when they post on Facebook, I offered in the early days vis the dealer and importers to give very constructive feedback to no avail, so now I just tell them what I think
Most of these companies are too arrogant to listen to feedback sadly

My brother had a trike many years ago and from experience from it most of the operators are probably dead. It ended up in a river… twice and a couple more times in barbwire hedges

They're all great when they're new...
Problem is they're all built for the USA market and those guys do in their lifetime what most of us do in a single year

Is this instead of a bike (you had Yamaha?) or aswell as?
Minus the shyte paint is it any good? Never seen any of them round here, it's all the Polaris and a few CanAm ones

Just bought a new Honda 420 fa2 on the 0% finance.First time I’ve ever bought a new bike. 5th 420 for us here. Never had an issue with any of them . The one we are retiring is on 32k kms , came to me on 12k 2 years ago. Serviced annually by dealer and looked after while we’re using them.
