đ I never looked at it like that before, but now it all makes sense đŹ
Awesome man i think i need to take a trip to london lol
+ononewheel7 yeah it's very different to the endless wild riding you guys have
Nice video. Iâd really like to get a quad bike after having a go riding one in Marrakesh. Might have to ditch my car for one.
Youâd love it, if keep the car though and save up for a quad as 365 days a year on a quad will be hard work, especially during the winter đ„¶
nice video. Regards
Thats Awesome.Save on space & pollution.Who needs a Motorbike.Give me a road legal Quad any day.
Why? much wider meaning you wont be able to filter through cars like a motorbike.
Nice vid...i love it

Can you get Glove boxes on a quad to put your helmet or bag in etc .??!!
Zeshan Veall no but you can buy boxes to go on them
Ayo bro sup, i remember I commented something like 3 years ago about entering heaven just saw the comment i donât even remember saying it but anyways, u mind posting more ATV UK street vids I love them!
Appreciate the love man, yeah Iâll get back on the Uk videos in the future when Iâm back on Uk soil
people faces !!! no price đ greatings frome Rome
Ciao fratello, always brings a few smiles and funny looks on the streets here. Itâs nice to see someone from Rome tuning in, do you ragazzi have people riding quads where you are on the streets in the city
You guys just nailed it...it was so amazing see the video
Appreciate it brother, glad you enjoyed it đ€
Hello
@@itsjohn3300 Hi ! What's up
@@PillowCharms yo you actually replyd my guy
Can you sub to my channel it will help a 1000000( basicly a tonđđđ) I only have 6 subs and I just subed to your chalel
i never heard a yfz so quiet. spruce it up (unless you did in a later video. This ones kinda old lol)
Iâve spruced up as much as possible haha, full Yoshimura titanium exhaust, vortex x10 ecu and fci intake, I run without the baffle in the exhaust as well, I guess in the videos the sound doesnât translate across, in reality you can hear it a mile away, it disturbs the people
No thanks. No need to be loud if you want to drive on public Streets.

How much is a full tank of fuel on a 450 raptor and also how long roughly would that last you based on average riding? Are they drinkers lol?
Full tank is around ÂŁ20 I think, Iâve never run to bone dry and filled up, just top up whenever I see a gas station, plus I run a larger ims enduro tank so saves me from running out in the middle of nowhere. It really depends on the riding style, but you can make it last a day of riding or just a few hours if flat out everywhere
What do you do for fuel and you always where helmet as with motorbikes ?
Fuel wise we just fill up at petrol stations the same as cars and bikes. Legally a helmet is optional on a quad but Iâd recommend always wearing one as itâs basically the same as riding a motorbike without a helmet, if you crash itâs not going to be a good situation
To answer your other questions from the other videos, yes we have indicators and handbrake and horn. Parking wise itâs advised to park in a secure garage with a ground anchor and chains etc as they top of the list of thieves and wonât last ten minuets being left outside overnight
Really wanting to get one of these beautiful machines. What does this thing top out at? I'm only asking as I work a distance from my home and have to go via motorway. Can these be used on a motorway?
Hey man, the 450Râs top out around 70-75mph, Iâve ridden on the motorway a few times, legally youâre allowed, the best quad for high speed road riding is the Raptor 700, the 450âs like mine donât like to sit flat out at 70mph as youâll seize cranks after a while, the 700 is geared much better for the road, plus engine can handle Sitting at 70mph on the motorway with ease, the raptor 700 will do 80mph. A quad will put a big smile on your face on the way to work đ
@@synergysynergy Hey, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I've had a look online and I'm struggling to actually find any quads for sale. Do you have any sites that would have a raptor for sale?
Pleasure mate, the best place for second hand quads is Ebay, gumtree also has some but be careful as a lot of stolen stuff on there, always make sure the chassis vin number matches the quad paperwork. Ask away if you have any other questions đ€
@@synergysynergy will do man, thanks again!
Hello mate looking to purchase my first road legal quad what would you recommend for the first time purchase
Hey, It really depends on age as I think from 17-20 itâs a real struggle to insure a raptor 700, I would consider any of the Yamahaâs out there, from the 350,450 or 700. The Suzukiâs are also very nice, either the ltz400 or ltr450. Imo Stay away from all of those jingaling spy racing type quads, pure junk.
Any of the well know manufacturers and your in safe hands, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Polaris etc
Do car insurance companies cover quad bikes - do you need insurance ?
Some do, yes for a road legal quad you need proper insurance, most bike or car insurers will take you on, depending on your age and which quad it should be ÂŁ200-ÂŁ400 a year
Nice video, how much is your quadbike? A brand new version?
Thanks bro, a new Yamaha YFZ450R will set you back ÂŁ9500 fully road legal, same sort of price for a Yamaha Raptor 700
How is it road legal if you canât see your speed thatâs what Iâm confused about
Normally there is a speedo dash so you can see the speed that youâre going
I just bort a raptor 700r , also live in UK . What tips would you give for riding these and cornering and have u fallen off it yet ? Also do u get alot of tail gaters and pricks in cars ?
Congratulations man, youâll love the Raptor 700. With cornering you just have to shift you weight to the side, get you butt off the seat and hang off the direction your turning if throwing it around in the dirt, if you watch some quad racing youâll see how the proâs corner hard. Other people on the road normally just want to get close because they are interested to see a quad on the road, youâll get more thumbs up from other road users screaming abuse
@@synergysynergy thanks mate ! Where are you guys based and do you hold any rides near Reading /Berkshire ? And when u go central London etc do u take it in a van
We are from down Brighton way in Sussex. We rode up to London way that time. Best place for quad meets is to join the quad heaven Facebook group, lots of guys organise meet ups on there, you may have some people local to you as well who want to ride đ
Does this have 'indicators' as with cars
Not sure why this message didnât show up before, apologies, yep road legal quads need indicators the same as cars
Synergy how did u get it road legal
Luckily the previous owner went through the aggravation of making it road legal himself, he used to the road legal kit from quad tech, Iâm pretty sure they have a guide on their website for the steps you need to turn it into a road legal quad www.quadtech.co.uk/
Could I use a road legal quad as my first car? Any idea what the insurance would look like money wise?
+Jesse yep you can, insurance wise it depends on your age and the quad, if you've just got your license then they may sting you for 4 figures for insurance
You need a full car or motor bike license
They just need a Diff then there is no problem.
Nah for me that is a goverment excuse for some countries banned the ATV... I drive a quad at high speed and they need a bit of respect, but same with a bike, if you turn the handlebar at maximun at high speed of course you died... exactly the same in a bike... or a car... But for city or normal roads (not highway or route) quads are safe.
Does this have a tow bar and whatâs the towing capacity do you know?
You canât put a tow bar on a race quad, with the farm quads you can do it, no idea what the capacity would be, I guess around 3-500kg
Synergy cheers
No worries buddy, check out the Polaris 1000cc quads as they should be up to the job and still great fun off road
Hello mate, also in the uk (London) and just got my new 22 yfz450, has anyone ever tried to rob the quad off you mate while your riding
Hey, fortunately not, but last time we rode in london was a few years ago, now we just stick to country trails. It seems these days the robbing while riding, is a lot more prolific so definitely keep your eye out for those scooters, also when you ride bike make sure nobody is following you as thatâs one of the way thieves will target you, so maybe do a double loop before heading home. Itâs a shame but you have to be really careful these days. Probably worth hiding some kind of tracker/Apple air tag somewhere on the quad.
@@synergysynergy appreciate mate! Apple air tags is a great idea
hello mate just seen message now r you out sunday ?
Hello
HI GUY'S whats the top speed??
Does it pull wheelies stoppies' ?
Is it reliable ?
Sorry for all the questions but i bought a spy racing 350 viper and it's broke down more thn its been running and ive only had it 3 months.
please reply soon moneys burning holes in my pocket.
+paul caffyn hey, top spend is 70mph with the 450 and 80mph with the raptor 700, if you know how to and have big balls you can pull wheelies up to 70mph, 450's are race quads so pretty ballistic, the big brands like Yamaha Honda and Suzuki is a different world to the spy racing stuff, no offence intended but they aren't proper quads, get yourself down a Yamaha Atvs shop and take one for a test ride, you'll be blown away by the difference, watch some videos of the atv racing in the states and you can see what they are capable of, if you want to pull 50ft jumps then you can do that as well on track
+paul caffyn stoppies are just as easy as wheelies on these machines, just a matter of yanking the brakes and throwing your weight forward
Thank's Synergy that's a load of help .I usually don't go for cheep thing's but its looks so good. Every body wants to ask about where ever i am.
paul caffyn what types of problems because it could be simple that your puting the wrong mix or fuel in it or it could be that itâs not actually new and the person you naught it off was lying to you
ATV Bike uk good
Iâm interested about buying a quad bike Iâm interested about the sport range that Yamaha do because I love watching Dakar quad bike series but is a quad bike any good for touring on and Iâm speaking around Europe because canât seem to see a lot of reviews on yt for touring because if a quad can complete the Dakar I think it wouldnât be half bad at touring with?
In the Dakar they use Yamaha Raptor 700âs, I guess its possible to tour Europe, I dont think anyone has done it on a quad so would be a worlds first, you can do a few modifications to make it even more robust, like a expandedoil cooler tank and a larger fuel tank, as long as you have a few spares you should be fine for a euro tour, chain and sprockets would be a good starting point
Synergy ah thank you
Synergy oh and I forgot, Iâm expecting the answer that Iâm already thinking but is a quad comfy for long durations of riding
Yes I find quads are very comfortable, like a giant armchair so for long trips youâll be fine, itâs a great idea to road trip through Europe on a quad
Synergy what would be better for touring a utility type of quad or a sport I would rather a sport so I could rip it on the dirt but the utility may be more suitable for touring ?
Say i had the same quad as yours, what would be the minimum age to ride it cause apparently you have to be older to ride a quad with more cc or am i just waffling?
I think it really just comes down to insurance cost, Iâm pretty certain you can be any age to ride a any cc quad off road , but obviously you need a full car licence to ride one on the road, thatâs when youâll have the dilemma of insurance cost which will sting if your 17-18
Synergy Alright, thanks
Anytime, good luck with the quad
What insurance company can anyone recommend . Thanks
Most of the quad guys in the uk use bikesure for insurance, if you look on quad heaven Facebook page the have a discount code
Where do you park it when not driving ?
At a car park or by road?
Same as owning a motorbike or motoped
Yes, but for some reason people love to steal quads so Iâd never leave it outside overnight, ground anchor and solid chain is a must
Are you allowed to filter with these ?
Nope, quads are categorised as cars and have the same regulations
Through PLG?
Exactly
like to have one dont have garage unlucky
Store it at a friends garage or rent one nearby, itâs a good idea to put it in a garage though as thieves love stealing quads
Big up Monky London man.
đđŒđđŒ
Where u get the insurance bro
Bikesure, most of the guys who ride quads in the Uk use them
Hey Synergy, Iâm getting a quad soon. I live in the UK, near Bristol and want to ask a true quad owner what antics happen on the road on a daily basis on your quad, so I know what Iâm stepping into. For example, do you ever get shouted at by bikers or cars? Do people think it isnât road legal? Do police stop you? Do you get a lot of looks etc. Stuff like that, Iâd really appreciate a reply, thanks :D
Hiya, good choice, youâll have great fun on and off road, the only drama you may have is when on off-road byways walkers donât realize your allowed on there so may yell at you, on the road youâll just get smiles but no drama, depending on where you live police may be curious and pull you over, more out of interest than anything else, the only time we were pulled over was in central London for parking illegally by the river and on one other occasion. Generally speaking itâs no different from a car or bike, it will put smiles on faces rather than have people raging at you
Synergy Cheers for that mate, itâs so so hard to find info about quads because people are so obsessed with motorbikes and cars and you never see a quad. I would have got a Sport one but I am limited with space (literally) as I had to find a quad narrower than 114cm wide exactly, so I am getting a Quadzilla 520s farm quad, the big beefy ones. Slower than a sport one yeah :/ but hey itâs a quad and I love all quads! I have tried looking for green lanes/byways but I donât have an âup to date mapâ of them all. One last thing, do you have any ideas of super security devices, I mean I plan to have mine covered up, bolted to the ground, chained to a pole, itâs got a lockable gear lever, a security post etc. But can you get alarms for them? Cheers mate.
It will be plenty quick and youâll still have great fun it, then when you want a race quad you can step into the world of Suzuki or Yamaha. Security wise you have a few options, you can get trackers, alarms and most importantly get a quality ground anchor and chain, a decent chain is critical as most chains you can get through with bolt croppers, spend the extra and buy the best available, Almax chain or pragmasis, thieves would have to spend considerable time with a angle grinder to through it. Chain like the oxford ones are a waste of time and money, to easy to cut
Synergy Thanks for your quick replies, hard to get that these days aha. Just out of interest, how difficult is it to actually make a quad such as a raptor âroad legalâ as it obviously doesnât have indicators, mirrors, etc. So do you just bolt it all on. Mine already has all that but I was just curious how you could make a quad like a Honda farm quad or Yamaha farm quad road legal? Or does it only work for specific quads? Thanks :)
Pleasure mate. You can buy road legal kits for quads, most shops use quadtech in the Uk, think there is a link in my description, the aggravation with making any quad road legal is the paperwork that is needed and also think you need to get in on a dyno, first thing you need is a certificate of conformity, which you would get from Yamaha, basically a shop would charge you ÂŁ1000 to make it road legal including the kit, if you did it all yourself you could get it done for around ÂŁ450-500 but be prepared for some aggravation. I think there are only one or two quads that you canât make road legal anymore, due to the manufacture refusing to issue the paperwork, happens with Hondaâs I think, but if itâs been made road legal year ago before they started preventing them itâs absolutely fine, it was something to do with bad publicity for the brand with their quad on the roads and accidents, something along those lines anyway
I'm not sure if this is going to get a response now but I'll give it a go!
I owned a road legal quad years ago and had the best time on it. I didn't want a bike and I absolutely loved cruising round on my quad. Of course hated by all manner of other road users...especially the cliquey biker groups but I'm not really bothered! "You're not a real biker mate"...nor am I trying to be lol! I'm going to buy a Raptor 700R to get around on soon and have a question. Is it legal to traffic filtering on a quad in the UK? I know it won't always be possible sometimes but am I legally allowed to do it if sate to do so?
I have looked everywhere and most questioned online are tainted by bikers complaining about quads and how they won't nod to them (I know I know...get a life)!
Hey man, itâs a good question, as far as Iâm aware itâs not legal to filter, I think due to quads being classified as cars, I filter on the quad and have had a few people comment saying itâs illegal to do so. Good choice re raptor 700, awesome quads and much more reliable than my 450, especially on the road
@@synergysynergy
Hey thanks for the response Man! Really appreciate it. I had a feeling that would be the answer...I think filtering is a grey area even on a bike!
Can't wait to get cruising on the Raptor! I've really missed it! Hope all is well with you and hope you're still tearing it up!
Anytime man, itâs always nice to see/hear other people enjoying quads. Grey area is the best way to put it, over the years Iâve never had issues with filtering and I think most car users assume you can so generally move over to let you past
It has 4 wheels mate, meaning it's wider than a motorcycle, you wont be able to filter unless your an irresponsible Wally. Get a bike.
Am looking to buy a quad bike in uk , can someone help me with that ?
Your best bet is to join quad heaven Facebook page, many helpful Uk quad riders on there as well as quads for sale. You also should look on ebay, you have many options from Yamaha raptors, Yfz450Râs to Suzuki Ltr450 or Ltz400. Ask away if you have any questions and Iâll try to help
@@synergysynergy thanksssssđ„âđŒ Iâll look there , but what do you think about spy racing 350
No worries buddy. Stay well away from those spy racing type quads, pure Chinese junk, it will fall apart and youâll regret buying after day two
Stick with the top main brands of Atvs
I wanna a quad but am 14 am saving up oredy and could u tell me what kind of quad to i need to ride on london road btw am 14 i ha ve to wait till am 16đ€Ł grate chanlle btw i subed
Thanks man, always appreciate the positivity. Quad wise you should look at either a Suzuki Ltr450, Yamaha YFZ450R or a Yamaha Raptor 700, you have plenty of time to save up, have a look through ebay and it will give you an idea of what kind of figure youâre aiming to save up to. Good luck with everything

Are these street legal in Ireland
Good question, Iâm not sure to be honest, I had a quick google and I get the impression they arenât street legal for the road, best bet is to call a Atv dealer in Ireland and ask them
Ok thank you đ
Anytime đđŒ
Kylie Kilduff cool thank you
What quad is that that you and the other guy have??
Iâm riding a Yamaha YFZ450R and my friend is riding a Yamaha Raptor 700
K thanks bro btw Iâve subbed đ
Appreciate it man, ask away if you ever have any other questions, check the Spanish mountain videos, unreal out there on the quad
Whats ur MPG? on the quad?
+Golden Shots I've no idea mate, I check the fuel every so often and top up when necessary, it really depends how fast you ride out as it will drink if flat out
How much do you use your quad? daily or ?
+Golden Shots it really depends on the weather, summer I used to be out a few times a week, when we road trip somewhere, solid riding every day for a few weeks, but no it's not my daily transport
Alright thanks :)
No worries đđŒ
I love this... not maniac at 80 mph running like idi*ts.
