hi all,
just putting hand up to say gidday from Australia.
dont currently have a SXS but i do own a 2019 HONDA TRX420FA6 QUAD.
purchased it for out farm and hunting - but new laws set to start here end of this year, means it will be compulsory to have a roll over device fitted to all quads sold after 2020. so i now have a dilemma - do i keep the quad or change up to 700-4 or 1000-5. i am worried that farmers may not allow us on there land without a roll over protection device.......
so i hope i can get some advise from you guys over there.
cheers
Aaron

If your happy with the quad and it is grandfathered in I personally wouldn't sweat it until you start getting shut out of places you can ride it. If you really want a SxS anyway then go ahead and make the change.

So is honda still threatening to stop selling quad bikes there?
Not sure what that will do the value of a used quad.
If you do add a CPD riding in low scrub/brush/trees gets less fun.

Would love to see some pictures of were your riding.
I keep watching the youtube videos of the overland guys out of WA.
Beautiful country you guys have there.

Welcome from Western New York. It really depends how you feel. Personally, I like sitting behind a steering wheel rather than straddling a seat with handle bars. I’d go SxS for sure. Break out the billfold, mate. 😉😎#ntc

Welcome aboard from Northeast Texas. A SXS is the way to go even though the Quad can go places that a SXS would struggle. Good luck on your choice.
