ive just watched a repeat of top gear with all the quadsand ive narrowed my choice down to 2
the argocat
linky
and the rage
linky2

obviously im just dreaming but which would you have
the rage with it's superbike engine
or the argocat so you could drive across lakes etc with 2 or 3 passengers on board??

rage

i was watching it thinking the same thing though you'd need a decent size field to play with

The only reference to price I can find is that there is an unused R130 Rage for sale at £3k less than what would've been the retail. It was up for £15k + vat. I thought my toy was expensive.

I've driven the agrocat before, great fun in the snow, I've also had a shot in a honda pilot.

I'd go for the rage

P.S. Here is what I used to drive! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:K%C3%A4ssbohrer_PistenBully_PB_280_D.jpg

i want that job

Nah, none. There's no fields or owt around here. It's hard enough finding somewhere decent to drive the Locost.
The buggy things seem to be the toys of the mini moto crews flying through the run down council estates.

Rage all the way, got a run in one once, (that what made me want to build some thing with a bike engine) unreal bit of kit, but crazy money.
