Grüter + Gut Motorrad Techniks is a Swiss company that produces exotic, high-end Quads and Trikes. After the success of the boutique brand’s BMW Boxer-powered “Quad” model, Grüter + Gut — or “GG” as they’re better known — opted to introduce a successor to the Swiss-made Bavarian-engined four-wheeler, known as the “Quadster”.
Like its BMW-powered predecessor, the Quadster is constructed around an advanced F1-style, machined aluminum chassis that’s been slightly stretched for greater stability. Each wheel gets its own adjustable independent suspension and aluminum trapezoid cross-members, and while the Quadster isn’t a leaning vehicle, it is nonetheless capable of pulling more than a G in cornering forces.
At the heart of the Quadster is the same liquid-cooled, 1,200cc, fuel-injected, 16V, DOHC, four-stroke, boxer-twin engine found in BMW’s R1200 line up. The Bavarian mill is good for approximately 100hp and 85 ft-lbs of torque.
Considering the Quadster has bigger dimensions than a Smart Car — 56” W X 91” L, all that power is transmitted to the back wheels via a machined aluminum billet differential that is separate from the Beemer’s six-speed gearbox. Though the clutch lever is found in its normal spot, the gears are changed via a toggle switch just above the front-brake lever on the right handlebar. Each of the cast-aluminum wheels also gets its own 270mm full-floating discs and dual-piston caliper, capable of bringing the Quadster to a complete standstill from 60mph in under 100-feet.
Produced by hand in incredibly small numbers, the construction on the Quadster is top-notch, as is its fit and finish. The sharp bodywork is designed and produced in-house, giving the Quadster an aggressive and sleek aesthetic. With its unique look and gobs of power on tap, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that several celebrity riders including Michael Jordan, own their own GG Quadsters. Unfortunately for GG, not long after the company debuted the Quadster, the world was rocked by a global financial crisis, and very few Quadster units were produced globally before GG ended production in 2015. With no new units being produced, these are incredibly rare finds, making your average Can-Am look as common as a Honda Passport.
This example is VIN: TGG60GG1366275175. The seller purchased the quad 18 years ago from GG Quad North America and states, “I saw a friend have a GG Quad in 2006 and fell in love and bought one. After 18 years I just don’t have that same feeling I once had about it.”
During his ownership the seller has covered approximately 4,000 miles. The odometer shows 4,432 miles.
