Hi my names paul and i was wondering if yall could tell me what you think is better DIRT BIKES or QUADS also i wanted a dirt bike and my dad says that he wouldnt be a good father if he let me have a dirt bike because i WILL get hurt on a dirt bike but yet ive been ridin quads for 7 years
Someone please explain this to me and give any suggestions on how to get a dirt bike that would be great Thanks,Paul

 

How could you ask that question on an ATV forum? but..........dirtbikes are fun for speeding, and killing yourself, and quads are awesome for everything.

 

i suppose quads are better...

 

quads are much better especially when its nice and muddy out side nothing worse than fighting a dirt bike all day just to keep it rubber side down [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

well first of all this is an ATV forum so i dont know what you expect for that answer lol[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] but yea dirtbikes are pretty fun and yes they are dangerous but if you ride smart and responsibly you wont have a problem. Its just like a quad if you ride it like a moron its just as dangerous as a dirtbike. so good luck gettin the bike if thats what you want. Ride safe.

Peace - Jeff

 

lol...i never have troubles riding my db on the slickest of mud..key is not to fight it, clamp the knee's on the gastank, and let the arms move freely, works for me, sometimes might need the occasional foot on the ground, but once you get outta 1st gear, into 2nd, its even easier, last thing you wanna do is fight the bike, worst thing to do is tense up the arms, keep em loose and you have no problems.

 

I prefer a quad over a bike. Used to have an XR400R, but just couldn't keep that thing under control. I always had to be on my toes when riding, whereas with a quad you can ride hard and then just sit back and cruise. I love watching people on bikes though. They do some crazy shat.

 

Not true...I will ride on any terrain that a quad can...(with the exception of huge mud pits made for 4x4's) ....then lets go take that quad on some single track trails and see how you do? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I really like my quads...but I have changed tunes a bit lately. The dirt bike is just more fun than the quad. If I lived in the desert I might change my mind.


Yes I do crash the bike...but I crash the quad as well...so It's a trade off. If your into mx or jumping...the bike is the only way to go.

 

I’m with you on this one. I've changed tunes lately too. I like my quads but i would take my dirt bike over my quad.
Bikes are faster, jump better and are faster on tight trails. One thing is you need to be in better physical shape to aggressively ride a bike then a quad. I get much more tired out on the track with my dirt bike then with my quad.

Both have there upsides. to each there own. For me it's all about the dirt bikes.

 

No you've opened the biggest can of worms on this forum....... Second only to "which is better? Honda or Yamaha?"
