Neobliviscaris1776 1,998 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Never had an offroad bike before but was considering getting something that I can take up some tracks and the dogs can run alongside. How much for something decent and any make/models you recommend? Any pointers appreciated All the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 42,801 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Xr 400 r, crf 450,wr 450,probably better off getting a quad, rack front and back sit the dogs on then let them off when you hit the mountain maybe? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogmad riley 1,336 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Quad all day long for running the dogs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogmandont 9,315 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Yamaha TTR 250 would be my choice for what you want to do. And can be picked up for humble enough money. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,957 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Dogs should not be run after a vehicle because the dopes don't know when to stop and they strain their systems. It is possible to overheat them in hot weather and damage their hearts. If you were to chase a vehicle youd pack it in after a short while in a knackered pile but dogs don't. Bike is good for getting around but beware of coming a gutser on wet ground. Been there. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neobliviscaris1776 1,998 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Quad it will probably likely be. Cheers for the posts. What makes/models prices? Really not planning on spending a fortune but still want something reliable Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leegreen 2,099 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Motor bikes, quads... sounds like fat blokes stuff if I needed to go down the getting my dog fit route, I'd use a push bike and get some road work in. Decent reliable quads are expensive, a couple of grand at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
