Alright, I will let you all in on a non secret lol. I am 20 years old and never drove a 4 wheeler, until yesterday (Wednesday). Until then each year I got a little closer. Sat on one at age 18, rode one up a well road as a passenger at 19. But yesterday I got the opportunity to learn how to operate a Suzuki quad, and I retained the basic functions so as to drive it LOL. I kept it in 2wd, high range, and 1st gear, and that sucker still moved probably 15 -20 mph, guessing here. I decided any more speed was probably too fast for my beginner status, but don't think I didn't get brave a couple times and goose it some lol. I can't say I am hooked yet, but a little more speed and enough justification to overcome the price to obtain one and anything can happen LOL.
