im talking to a guy about the trike pictured but i have never ridden a kawasaki 3 wheeler. how do they compare to the 185s and 200es? its a 250 and he said it has new tires, starter, and battery. he said it does not smoke at all and runs very strong. does 500 sound a like a fair price for this?

my freind had the quad version of that trike. ive never had any of the smaller hondas, but i did have a 110 kawasaki. to me they arent much better than lawn tractors lol. but for utility they seem like a decent ride. as far as i know the biggest problem with them is finding parts when things do break.... to me its like a 200$ machine tops, but depending on were u are and what u are into then maby. im probably no help. but thats my .02

It also has a manual clutch and a limited slip rear axle.

i think im going to pass on this one and save my money for a sportier trike. working on getting a 350x as we speak. how well does a 350x handle deep mud?

Nope thats a Kawi fork....$300-350 if you did get it.........how deep is the mud you wanna get into?? remember anything can get stuck in the mud but as far as using a 350X for mudding well thats up to you

probably ankle deep slushy clay. im guessing 350x's are more trail riding and speed?

that kawasaki is perfect for the mud agreed 200 or maybe 250 tops. i wouldnt want to take a 350x through mud it isnt really designed for that but thats just me.

The problem with these is that they don't really know what they want to be. A utility trike with a manual clutch? What's up with that? And they drive like a brick. Nah, I'd pass on this one personally.

200x would work better for mudding cause its a lot lighter.

If you want to play in the mud, get a BR...

What's with everyone saying a 350X isn't for mud? I can see if he's talking about waist-deep mud, but he said "ankle deep slushy clay". If I recall correctly, the 350X is an off road machine. And you guys wouldn't take it in the mud? C'mon! That's what the thing was made for! I take my Tecate through mud and streams that are deeper than the height of the tires, and that's a dedicated MX machine. The 350X is more of an all-around machine and is even better in the mud than my Tecate.

I agree. With a set of aggressive tires (22" Bear Claws are pretty good all around and priced right) you could have a great time in the mud with your X. I just have Turf Tamers on my X and it does pretty well in the mud. The 200X is lighter but the 350X has the power to turn a set of mud tires even in the deep stuff.
