Anyone seen these guys before? Are they stateside yet?

I saw a picture of it when I was searching for a picture of an LT 125 on google and was like "wow".

They look sweet!

I think they're made in Taiwan but they seem European. They have some pretty high end features for an off-brand company too. The on-road one looks sweet as well. Check out the 4wd and range selector....I wonder how that would hold up.

Not sure about quality... always a gamble with the off-brand guys...lol

I've found a few spec sheets on various european motorcycle websites... however I guess that is just because of the on-road version.

Yeah, they definitely seem to struggle with quality. This one has a lot of premium features though like front diff-lock, efi, and IRS.

I just think it looks so bossy!

Hi
I own a Quadrift 500efi
Perfect fro on road use,we dont have much chance of offroading.
Now its been runin and de regd it will do 0 to 65 in just 5 seconds
I have fitted a rear backrest and foot rests so is ideal for 2 people.
You can lock the rear diff and go drifting (hence the name) i have
not been brave enough to try this yet.
A few times i have lifted the frontfrom a standing start.
If you need any info on this Quad please cotact me
Pete

El crapo.

I was hoping it might be a unique European brand, or perhaps from Japan.

I've had bad luck with the Chinese bikes in the past. I wonder if the Taiwan stuff is any better???

I've heard the Cectek brand is pretty expensive compared to some Chinese stuff...that could be a good thing. Perhaps build quality would be higher.

The Asian brands *CAN* be good, but we don't let them because all we ask for is "cheap, cheap, cheap", so we get what we ask for.

This brand is supposed to making, for the first time ever, a street legal ATV to be legalized early 2012! That would mark the FIRST time a 4 wheel motorcycle would be considered road legal!

Sign the petition if you are from Canada and want to pitch in.

THE TIME IS NOW!

Evening Pete,

I have had my Quadrift now for around 5 months and was hopping you could give me some pointers on how to make it a little nippier and how I would go around de-restricting it. Am I right in thinking it has a factory limit of some form that can be unlocked ? And lastly parts, whilst it's been reliable to date do you source your parts from any where specific ?

All the best - Richard
