My dad bought this 13 years ago and hasn't ridden it much especially in the last 8 or so. Engine's never been apart, only Boyesen reeds and a k&n for after market for the engine. It runs and works perfectly flawless.

What's it worth?

Oh ya, i'm gonna buy it, that's what i figured it would be worth too. He said he'd sell it to me for what he paid for it 13 years ago....

200!?! or 2000?

$200, as in hundred. dirt cheap now i know, but around here anyway, back in '95 trikes didnt bring much $$$, especially if they were in need of anything. i remember in '91, my best friend bought an absolutely MINT '86 200x. it had a DG exhaust, twist throttle, factory tires in 90% condition along with a set of nealry new flat trackers on rims AND a Honda shop manual....this thing was mechanically and cosmeticaly 100%. ready for this?? he paid $425! it was only 5 years old!!! that same trike in as good shape as his was when he got it would easily bring $1500 in my area, WITHOUT the extras! makes one sick doesnt it? oh to have a time machine!! lol!

I would think that a liquid R in that shape would get $2500 EASY and maybe as high as $3500 in Saskatchewan...$2000 for that would be a steal !! These things are worth more north of the border...a lot more.

I seen one go for 4500 hundred in edmonton like 3-5 months ago. i dont know if it sold. but its not for sale anymore. It was in about that shape. I wish my dad kept all his goodies and trophies when he raced motocross in the 80's. Only thing i found was a pic of me and my dad on his then brand new 86 CR500R....
