I have a road legal quad.
You are allowed on the motorway BUT you but be able to keep up with flow of traffic.
I would not advise going on the motorway mate, your 660 will top out around 60-70mph and it will be screaming an not nice, I have been on the motorway with a 700 raptor aswell as my own R6 powered Gas Gas Quad and i would not do it again.
PLUS 1 junction feels like it takes forever

90 mph on your speedo Promise you get a car to drive next to you and you will find out how far out quad speedo are. Standard Raptor is around the 70mph mark.
They feel faster than what they are, Race a C20XE Corsa and see how you get on
I promise you, go the long way you will have more fun. They are not made for motorway mate.
I am only in Oldham come over and i have 4 quads in at the moment, will come out for a ride with you, I have a R6 Powered Gas Gas Quad an my mate has a Bombaider 660 with NOS
