Getting to the stage of getting fed up with no quad because it’s away getting fixed 5 fuel pumps in 6 months) currently have a 2018 Yamaha grizzly 700 what would I be best goin to look at? Thinking we don’t need as big a bike (500 would be more than enough) we sow fertiliser with it so need somthing well built we also find the 700 very hard on petrol so somthing easier on it would be great

Would a 500 suzuki be much easier on fuel that our 700? I see a 2021advertised with 60 hours would be worth a look at as most things seem hard got new atm

There's all these makes of quads out there but it's still hard to beat honda, have a 2018 500 here and it's the best bike I've had. Great on fuel and very nippy. Had yamagata before that and before that a Honda 400 and 450.

We have had terrible trouble with a 450 Yamaha with fuel pumps. Must have had at least 6, had it checked over but couldn't find what keeps causing them to fail.
Saying that the Yamaha 700 are a good bike and we have changed over to them.
If anyone wants a CanAm 570 I have one for sale. It is an Ok bike and a good workhorse, this one is 4 years old.

We run 2x Honda 520, a auto and a manual. Both have irs. They are both lovely bikes. Personally I prefer the manual, wife and staff prefer the auto.
