Default Quad vs Bike - Hill Climbing Capabilities

Every year I go to the local Hill Climb at Poagshole and watch the bikes climb the hill. I keep thinking to myself that a Quad can climb that hill but nobody seems to agree with me. Here is a link with some pictures of the hill.

Anyone ever climb a hill this size with a Quad? I'm interested to see what size hills others have climbed and your opinion of whether or not it is possible? Thanks!

With a big motor, long swingarm and some very large go-nads, anything is possible...

Maybe if it was just all one hill, but its one of those 2 hill type deals. Either way its worth a try and Id probably try it. Although, as with most hills, they dont look as steep until u climb them.

I worked a hill climbing event years ago with my dad's club. Man it was so insane! In two days of the event only one bike actually made over the top...no joke! And it had a Harley power plant. It scared me half to death just to be on the hill holding onto a rope as the riders would literally fly by pitching thier monsterous machines into the air and tumbling back down to flat ground. Got to hand it to those guys....b@lls of steel!

I think that be a fun event..... let see, I got a stock z400 frame sitting inthe garage, I could stuff a gxsr 1100 in it, do a plus 12 swingarm, and bingo.....
