£2,000 quad bike

[Robt]

So my neighbour has finally admitted defeat on the quadzilla. He is looking to replace it . I’ve told him to stick to the main 4 . So what is best to aim for on his budget? I’m thinking a Honda foreman or perhaps a Suzuki ozark? Land is very flat horse fields. So 2wd is fine. Any good dealers you’d personally recommend too?

Honda FM350 will be available at that money in not too bad of a condition. If he gets one he will need to flush the oil cooler otherwise it could overheat. Not the best model a bit rigid on suspension and permanent four wheel drive not much in the way of electrics on the thing to cost money and reasonably cheap to repair

Suzuki Ozark is a nice little bike, as is the honda 250.

Not a huge amount around for that money

Pajero? Cheap to buy here but if they run on diesel you're looking at ~1200€/year of "diesel tax".

I was looking for one to use as a family car, but when i noticed the tax it quickly put me off.

Ha ha yes, it’s just a lambing/general field car so not tax etc just stays on farm

You can but if there out like are yows the Herdwicks will fight to sit in the back and the Swaledales will won't the front seat, but just so they can mess with the radio and heater controls
