1. Its a LOT easier to kick a bike away than a quad when you know you're crashing.
2. NO thumb throttle.
3. Two less tires to buy and mount.
4. You can fit more of them in trucks/trailers.
5. No more disappearing feet when dabbing at speed.

11. Dirtbike takes longer to spell than quad, so it makes you more intelligent.

Quads are mad fun to drift! but once you get good on a dirtbike, nothing beats the feeling of laying the bike down on a sand berm and keeping it pinned

Looks like you never took any risks on a ATV tho :P.

Can't you try a friends bike or something first? Then you'll know if you like it or not :P.

And are quads in America with a thumb throttle :shock: :?:

Well quads are fun,but not near as fun as bikes. Also thumb throttle is here too,some people say its way more comfortable on the corners and stuff than regular throttle.
