i have been riding dirtbikes mostly all my life and in the last 2 years ive rode some racing atv's they seem to be alot more exciting and just 10X funnier in trails this is my opinion and im looking at a rappy my dads got a bear tracker right now its pretty boring tho way too slow and cant do nuttin on it but a racing atv seems to be alot funnier has anyone else transferred from dirtbikes to atv's and seems to be funnier i would like to know before i buy it has anyone got bored of them all suggestions needed..

 

i have a kx100, but im hooked on my friends wolverine for snow, trails, mud, everything that has to do with the forest.

i love my bike tho, cuz when im carving lines in those leaves im also roosting him [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]... i want a new bike tho, a 4-stroke, a WR250/450F, CRF450, CR250, YZ250, whatever... theyre all the same so its all good [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Raptors are nice too!

i like the quads cuz u can powerslide and hold a wheelie easier... but i would MUCH rather have a dirtbike in the dunes and for jumping! carving lines in the sand is so much fun! sure, the quad you can powerslide and stuff.. but i like to go big [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

also im talking about trail riding which would u rather ride and just cruising thro mountains and all my other friends got 4 wheelers so thats kinda nice all opinions needed

 

i would definetly go with the quad u cant go through mud with a dirtbike and on trails they have lots of mud holes so i would say if you want to have fun i would get the quad

 

I went from a CR125, to a banshee, but now I am gettin a different quad for tighter trails. I like quads better just because they are funner on the trails, in the snow, mud and sand. You can jump quad pretty good if it's got good enough suspension.

 

do dirtbikes come up b/c they have so much power or because they are so light in the front and little power is needed to bring it up?

 

crispy - it's a little of both, Most bike motors make about the same power as the quad motors except for the top level MX bikes. With that much power and half the front end weight, the front end lifts very easy.

motojustin4 - I rode minibikes then dirt bikes for 30 of my last 38 years and switched to a Raptor last year. ATVs are more fun but it's not easy to find a place to ride once you build a race quad. I drive at least 1.5 hours to find good quad MX practice tracks and races. I had a Grizzly with a winch, 27" tires, and a big bumper for a couple of years and never had to worry about somewhere to ride, I made my own trails. If you have a track near you, I'd go for MX. Everyone wants to fly but not everyone has the ***** to learn:-)

 

That and gearing. I don't know that dirt bikes "come up" any more than quads though.
