Not talking 4 wheel motorbikes here. Hamstring are plenty sore after squatting but never the quads. How can I target the quads over the hams ?

yeah, I agree about the Front Squats.
Also try varying your stance with back squats.
a narrow stance with slow, controlled concentric and eccentric motion will hit the quads a bit more too.

quads are a very easy muscle to develop.

my routine is like this:
leg extension 1x15-1x12-1x15-1x12(just to get warmed up)
Leg Press: 3x10
Single Leg Press: 1x10
Squats: 3x10
Lunges: 3x10
