Cagiva 200 and 1987 200x

[Macs]

I plan to get out of the collector world of three wheelers for good this time. Just don't have the time nor space. These will be the first two to go along with a few dirt bikes. I figured since you guys were in the loop when I acquired both of these. That I would give y'all a chance to reminse, discuss, ask questions etc. In other words, let everyone say there goodbye's. There was many here that helped me in various ways. The pics are old but I really don't think It is necessary to post them anyway. I will still be around and hold onto the rest.


This is by NO means a classified ad. These are not for sale yet.

Wow, that's horrible, but I"m certain you'll make sure it goes to a good home. Wish I had the cash, I'd come take it off your hands. Good luck, and hope to still see you around from time to time......:beer

[Macs]

I still plan on keeping the rest. My goal is to get 15k out of everything to buy the family a rzr4. Plus I can barely keep my riders going so I have done convinced myself I will never get to it. I don't understand how y'all that have kids get anything rebuilt. I have decided just to buy stuff already built.

Eric, I sent a guy your way looking for wmx front forks. Wasn't sure if you had extras but he is in a similar boat as you and he lives right down the road. Small world

[jadamek02]

Will you let us know when you put them up for sale? I am interested.

[Macs]

I will post it in the classifieds when they are put on eBay. They will go up forsale unless a third garage builds itself.

Thankfully I own my own ATV shop and keep my machines there. So, when it's not busy we can wrench on our stuff. Been wanting to get a Rhino for some time now to ride my daughter around, just haven't had the cash.

p.s He pm'd me, and luckily I do have an extra set.

You gotta do what you gotta do. I completely understand.

Dude PLEASE read the rules of 3ww lol lol Your post has nothing to do with this thread . You can get the answer to your questions her on 3ww but this is not the thread . Please take a few minutes to surf the site and get familiar with all the different forums ,Welcome to 3ww by the way

[portland250r]

hopefully these 2 trikes stay in the 3ww family, hate to see them go off to some random bidder.

[bcredneck]

WTF is that first one ine never seen one like that it looks realy cool i whant one

[portland250r]

WTF is that first one ine never seen one like that it looks realy cool i whant one

a cagiva extremely rare and almost extinct like the tigers. theres information on this site, extremely cool piece of history.

[fmnrd]

the 200x would fetch 1000.00 to 1500.00 in the current ebay market that is no mystery . My question is what would the racer be worth ? Seriously I have no clue . You can say its worth "X" amount but what do you guys realisitly think somebody is going to pay for it ? You do not see X racers for sale so it is hard to put a value on them right?

[portland250r]

that trike could rake in some huge money from the right buyer, its what the buyers decide to pay.

bcredneck heres some info for you.

why dose evey thing i like have to be so rare and imposible to find

[fmnrd]

portland. take a stab at a price guesstament "hugemoney" pretty wide open there bro

[NINJA]

Because most of the trikes you seem to admire are one off hillbilly hackjobs. That Cagiva though is a true diamond in the rough.

[200XMichigan]

Put up some more pictures of the Caviga, if you get a chance to.

[Macs]

That is another reason for this thread. I wanted to give every one on here a huge heads up. I have held onto this thing for a while now and would love to see a fellow member own it. Follow its progress etc.. I might be selling it but dont want it out of my life. I just cant bare to see it set there.

[ATCrider42]

Dude, I can't beleive out of all that crap in your garage your gonna get rid of your trikes!? Looks like you have a whole bunch of crap you could do without in your garage besides these two bikes. Good Luck with the sell, though.

[Macs]

These are old pics from a few years ago. Actually the only thing in that garage now is a Outlaw 525, KLX400, tools and the kids bikes and stuff. My toys have quickly outgrown my space. I now have a garage in Pasadena full, brother in laws garage full, shed full and my next step was to start filling up a house i am trying to sale. I finally said " enough"! I have 6 trikes, 2 quads, 12 vintage dirt bikes, street bike and a enduro. This also not counting my cars, RC's and shelves of parts. I am just overwelmed and it would take me a lifetime to get through all these projects. So time to cut some strings

[fmnrd]

Macs :If you are serious about selling them to a 3ww member I think you need to price a price tag on them .Only you know what you would let them go for . If it were me I would sell that 200x first .You could replace that some day if you miss it .The Caviga , well you would probably never get your hands on an other one .But like you say why have it just sitting there ,put it in the hands of somebody that will bring it back to life .

[bcredneck]

dose the caviga run or turn over or is it locked up if the motor turns over im selling my coin colection and guitar stuff i should be able to get 5 grand out of that crap probley wont be enough but i should sell it anyway

It runs....Can't speak for Macs on price. But simply putting a price on something like this is almost impossible. All you can do is put it up for auction and see what it brings. Alot of factors come into play with a machine like this as compared to say a 250R. It depends on who sees it, wants it, and how much cash they have. Someone may only bid 2 grand on it ( which I wouldn't sell it for ) or someone may bid 12 grand or 20... Never know......just put in an offer and see what happens.

[bcredneck]

if i try to buy it il do it on ebay i wouldnt even want to offer on this unless its a auction ive been looking for something cool since someone stole my cz 250 i only had it for 2 days if i see it again someones going to die it only needed tires and a carb

You are very correct, Eric. It all depends on who see's it and who wants a challenge of restoring her. when i got laid off i put up and ad here and my top offer was something like $1000. but then nobody was buying anything at that time. Thats why ebay is honestly the best place for this. Unless someone just has a ton of cash laying around and wants to throw out a generous offer. If i could come up with the a price, i would probly just post it here.

Bcredneck - it will run...... I had it running when it first got to my house. It hasnt been cranked since but i have no doubt it will fire up now. The reason i havnt ran it is because there is a hole in the case. I jb welded it up just to check the operation of it and it did fine but the Cagiva engine parts are way to expensive and hard to find to risk it. If i ever did rebuild it, i would not ride it. I would be way to scared something would break.

FMNRD - The 200x was actually the last thing i put on the list. I use it quite often and out of all the stuff i have, it is the one my wife goes to when she wants to ride. That bike really has become part of the family and is the most dependable thing i have ever seen. My wife kinda had a fit when i added it. It might eventually get pulled and i do wish the cagiva would sell for enough to cover it.

I am going to put you on the block Bidders list. Before i know it.... nevermind

[fabiodriven]

Bcredneck, that trike will ever be in your hands over my dead body.

[fmnrd]

Macs , You must have a number in your head of what you want for it . A number that you can live with letting it go for right. Lets say you would not think twice if somebody said "I will give you 4k for it ". So throw that number out here on 3WW and see if anybody bits or comes close. If you are waiting for somebody just to say I will give you X amout for it I would be surprised . Most of us here on 3WW are frigin cheap skates looking for the golden ticket .

[bcredneck]

you dont have to worry about me buying it now i whent to get my coins to price them the lock on my box is drilled and all my canadian silver coins (amost 80 been colecting since i was 5) are gone all thats left is only worth a few hundered thats what happens when you move out of a house with roommates and dont take every thing right when you leave i should have cheked that when i picked it up and the pick ups on my guitar arent working eather ill sell whats left and fix my 350

[Vealmonkey]

I think first and foremost, that 3ww is not an auction site. If you have a price you want, please put it out for people. Secondly, the Cagiva is not an italian trike. The Cagiva was a italian dirtbike. The trike was designed and kitted by people in the US, the son of trike kit designer is a member on the board here. And you don't know how many times I hear people say they would give an arm or a leg to have a machine that either can in no way afford. People should really quit guessing as what the trike is worth, especially people that will never, ever be involved with the purchase of the trike. The trike is worth what it is worth to the person who may buy it. The seller may have a number, but a buyer may never agree with what the seller wants, it happens all the time. As far as listing the trike on ebay, best of luck. I can't count how many times machines have gone on ebay and had buyers back out at the last minute with all these excuses. Ebay is supposed to be a contract and it's a joke. Buyers as well as sellers back out of deals all the time. You know how many boardmembers on here have wanted to buy one of my Tigers and never followed through? There is one on this thread now that has done that very thing. So don't get too excited. Anyone remember that $50, 000 atc250r not too long ago. It did the very thing I predicted, people backed out left and right at the last minute. If you don't have the money for the trike or you'll never buy it, then stay the crap out of the sellers business. Seller, List the cagiva in the classifieds section and post a price. Things like this are why people have backed away from this site and keep alot of things between themselves. This is what makes this hobby not fun. Give it a break.

Sounds like you should have left the lampshade and coffee table and grabbed the coin..................

[Tri-Z 250]

I would agree with Vealmonkey, that the price can't be speculated by non-buyers or the value of the machine in restored mint condition. Sparking interest in your machine for increased sales potential...well you came up short. If you really want interest, post a thread that just details the machine. DO your HOMEWORK! I mean how many owners could that machine have had? I'd try and get to the original guy just to see if he had some artifacts...old pics, possible stories or races. The history in a peice like that is worth the effort let alone the rebuild. This seems more of an investment buy than you looking to manufactures and quality resto types to recreate a true hybrid of it's time. Believe me nothing wrong with that idea of turning over to gain a profit. Posting pics of your wife's over run parking space and a thinking of selling..LOOK WHAT I GOT. Leads me to believe she's got a better idea of the bottom line than you.

I plan to get out of the collector world of three wheelers for good this time. Just don't have the time nor space. These will be the first two to go along with a few dirt bikes. I figured since you guys were in the loop when I acquired both of these. That I would give y'all a chance to reminse, discuss, ask questions etc. In other words, let everyone say there goodbye's. There was many here that helped me in various ways. The pics are old but I really don't think It is necessary to post them anyway. I will still be around and hold onto the rest.

Why are you all bashing him over not having a price, he stated that this is by no means a classified ad and it's just a heads up for everyone here that it will be for sale. Since he stated that it will be going on ebay then that will determine his price. Let Macs handle this sale how he wants.

[fmnrd]

Bluewhale: not bashing MACS it is just that the post is a little dicey

1)"I plan to get out of the collector world of three wheelers for good this time. Just don't have the time nor space" ****Too me this means unless he hits the Texas Lottery these bikes are for sale

2)I figured since you guys were in the loop when I acquired both of these. That I would give y'all a chance to reminse, discuss, ask questions etc. In other words, let everyone say there goodbye's. **** Goodbye's ???? Sounds like they are on the chopping block to me

3)This is by NO means a classified ad. These are not for sale yet. ****YET ? So when exacly are they going to be for sale ? When somebody emails him and offers him 10k ?

When is the last time you seen a car on the side of the rode with a big FOR SALE sign on it that when you turn around and stop and look the small print sez
" Not for sale yet just wanted you to stop and look" ?

I was wondering the same thing. Jealousy has interesting ways of rearing it's ugly head I guess. When I was trying to sell my 200R somebody from here tried telling me that the engine was only worth about $800. I bet you weren't expecting some of these reaction huh, Barry?

[fmnrd]

NINJA : nobody here is telling him what it is worth or not worth . Just think there needs to be a offer price with the Posting or at least a "make me a offer "and not be offended when guys come in way under what he is hoping to get

Yeah, things did not turn out the way i planned.
I was trying to keep this from getting the bombarbment of bashing if i just posted it on ebay. let people ask questions, where i got it from? whats its history? Closeup pics of anything? How it drove? etc etc Also have had several members ask to let them know if i ever plan on selling it. Well this was alot better than sending out 50 pm's. I was trying to kill several birds with one stone.

Lets quit talking about price. I can see why people are getting annoyed because frankly i am too. It will be up on ebay in a few weeks after i dig it out. Bid will start at $1000 no reserve since that is what i paid for it. That is the end of that.

Uh huh, riiight.

Is there a website somewhere that I can go to and compare the IQ test results of all US presidents?? explain to me how this works. is this an official presidential IQ test? I dont remember hearing about this

[Brockey]

Gonna be sad to see a machine like that go if you decide to sell. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do, and after reading this I believe I need to buy some for sale signs myself. Projects I will never get around too aswell.

For others, it will be in the classified or eBay forums when for sale, I am sure. He's been here long enough to know the rules.

Just something I heard on the Howard Stearn show once when they were bashing him, You know every thing Howard sez is true :rolleyes:
Although if not 100% true I can't imagine its far from the truth :lol:

Well that is enough on politics lets get back to giving Macs a hard time on the sale or non sale of his trikes :naughty:

Offer to MACS> Ill trade you my minty 85 125m and some cash for that Racer . This way you can cash out on that 200x and still have a cool chick bike for the wife with Electric start and Reverse
