Has anyone EVER or is ANYONE EVER going to do a shootout between these mid-range bestsellers?

They all comply with European "quadricycle" legislation and should be compared over the same ground and circumstances if possible, a-la-"Top-Gear". (BBC programme for petrol heads)

Joyner seems to have the best reputation, Kinroad seems to be the best equipped(good mud-guards), Roketa/Goka seem to be bigger but are they any better?

Tests on AND off road would be appreciated as well as aftersales support from manufacturer in China.

Any help you can offer would be nice. Confused Confused

Forget the Goka G32, have you seen the 500cc, 4x4 buggy from China, marketed as the Syko or Adrenelin buggy in the UK? It looks like the PGO Bugracer 500i but with a £2000 price drop PLUS the benefit of 4x4 AND diff locker.....BARGAIN!!!

Now that would be a shoot-out! Joyner 650, Kinroad 650, Syko/Adrenelin 500 4x4 and PGO Bugracer 500i. 4 ways!!

On-road performance, off-road performance, wear-n-tear, tuning, parts availability and running costs. Did I miss anything?

I'd write/host the article/video if only the Buggies could be supplied in factory trim and road legal for the shootout. I have the locations and film makers on stand-by.

Any takers?

We ran my 800cc against the Joyner 650 several times at the last Rally. It was a very short track...

I would tell you the out come but since you do not want the gk in the shoot out any more your probably not interested Shocked Razz

Unfortunately, the Goka is not available as a road legal buggy in the UK.
That and the fact that at 800cc, it sort of stretches the "mid range quadricycle" tag quite a bit.
