Quad races?

Question

since in italian answers they couldn't give me a decent answer to my quest i try with you.

could you give me some info about quad races and the right age to start it up?

well my dream is to take part ,in a quite close future, in a race such as pharaons rally or dakar.

I think i'm too old to give it a try...i'm 18 anyway i wait for your opinion and advices: i gonna buy a polaris outlaw in about a month.

thanks n greetings from Veneto.

Answer 1

Get the Can-Am 800 with independant rear suspension - it is very fast!

18 is not too old, you are youthful but strong, with plenty of confidence to tackle the more dangerous obstacles. All you need is lots of practice and a good support crew for Dakar.

Answer 2

I would highly recommend the Yamaha YFZ450.  Stock it is so much faster and better than Kawasaki or Suzuki and there is gobs of aftermarket mod stuff you can get to make it a hotrod!

Answer 3

Your never to old to try it out just make sure your in shape!! Look into the new suzuki 450 it is almost race ready brand new you just need to but a cherry bomb for it, then your ready to race

Answer 4

You're never too old to start racing.  Heck at 18 you're still fresh and ready to go.  If you've ridden before go with the Polaris or whatever you feel comfortable on.  The advice that I can give you on getting ready for the Dakar is to work out in the gym everyday.  Build up your speed and stamina.  Good Luck.
