any one ever looked into this?

170 cc ones go for about 2100 and the 250cc ones go for like 2700.

Seem quite cool, they aint highly geared but would be good around town and can drive them on full car licence with no helmet although i would.

anyone know of any hidden costs besides registration?

Buy the road pack, get it taxed - which happens to be extreemly cheap as its an agricultural vehicle - and road regestered.

You might need to use different tyres though, as the off road ones aren't suited to tarmac really.

Yeah my mates got a wicked racing one !

Road legal and pretty fast, always on the main roads on it pimp style with a cap on backwards and down the seafront !

Racetech in Southend sell them, these quads are massive in the states at the mo !

Yamaha make a road pack for most of thier agricultural quads. That means it wil pass the MOT. Then you get a V5 and tax in the same way as you would when you regester a car for road use.

you can also get alarms for them which is pretty cool, especially if you have a key fob which blips the indicators and makes a bleep bleep sound

they dont say anything about reverse tho

Probably no reverse on them ones, they're easy enough to dougnut around cos they have independent front and rear brakes, they are pretty light too so if you do need to go backwards you can push
