Comment one - Quads have a nasty habit of landing on you when you crash, the most common quad crash is the front wheel locking/ducking down in a hard corner and throwing the rider over the front corner - quad then lands on rider, bikes are a lot easier to jump away from/backwards off. Plus if the bike does land on you it will weigh less than a quad. I also find quad bikes quite uncomfortable over distance compared to a bike for some reason
Comment 2 - should have been deleted, but was posted twice instead(?).
In Sheffield we have quite a few people who have bought road legal quads with loud cans and full MX race gear for the purpose of posing round town, so my friends and I (who are snobby bikers) tend to laugh at them quite a lot, cannot see why anyone would get a road quad unless they wanted a bike but didn't have the balls or balance to ride one. Sure this doesn't apply globally, but is an attitude you may encounter on a quad
