a quad bike is considered a car in the eyes of the law, since it has 4 wheels

Polaris do road legal quads up to 800cc(!) but in my opinion they are overkill as i tested one on the road and there is just no way you can keep the front end down when pulling away a little heavily!
as for legal wise you dont mention whether you have a provisional licence or full car licence, if you have a provisional as long as the quad is under 550kg you can ride whatever size you want on that licence providing you have a plate on it and an L plate and you dont have to wear a helmet either although it is what i would recommend if you have a full car licence i think you can pretty much ride what quad you like providing it has MOT, Tax and insurance!
I've been looking into it as I'm getting one in a few weeks too :D

As far as I know you only need to hold a full car license to ride one however the bike needs to be fully type approved for british roads ( which will involve a test costing around £120) in order to register it, you then require tax and insurance and if needs be an MOT, pretty much all the same as trying to register a motorbike.
As for size, I believe most use single pot 450 motocross engines but you may be able to get larger ones.

In my state (Wisconsin) they are illegal to drive on the road, no matter what you do to them. I think you will find this to be the same in all states.
If you are looking to use it for transportation, sell it and buy a car or a motorcycle.

Check your local laws for any problems, but usually its just a matter of finding DOT approved tires. There are some out there.
