Answer 2

dirt bikes to quad racing?? ouch, that'll be tough. quads are hard to race, especially after being used to a bike. Stick with bikes dude! i guess if u really wanted to get into it then go to ur local motorcycle shop and ask them about quad racing, they should be able to provide u with plenty of help and numbers to places around ur area to help get u started.

Answer 3

My husband races quads on sand....he has a Yamaha YFZ450 but it has been suped up to a 490 I think and he runs NOS.  You might check out these websites for further info about what you will need to get started.

Answer 4

What type of terrain are you riding on?  Quads are fun but it will definitely take a lot of adjusting to get used to a quad compared to a bike.  I've always ridden quads but will occasionally ride my buddies YZ450F.  Personnally I think quads are way more fun because it's more of a challenge to muscle through the corners and control in the air.  The Raptor 250 is a good bike for a beginning quad rider but it is a little small so it will depend on how big or small you are.  It did win a shootout in DirtWheels Magazine against the Honda.  But the biggest plus on it is that it is a Yamaha.  I wouldn't own anything else.   Best of luck on your decision and I hope you enjoy it.
