ok im 6ft6 and 245lbs roughly i had a 200x but it didnt go fast enough for me and made me look like a giant on a tricycle. Some here have said for me to get a 350X i was just curious of what the majority of you think i should try to get for my size and for speed. thanks for your time

If your wanting a sport trike, I think a 350x is the way to go. My 350x I sold felt bigger to me than my '86 250r. Plus I think the 4-stoke X will pull your around much easier than a 2 stroke.

X if you wana trail ride, if you wana throw dirt get an R, both feel about the same size to me...You gota ask yourself what you want to do with it.

im 15 and i prefer the 200x i have over my 250r for some weird reason its just the perfect bike for doing everything but im 5'7 140lbs so there is a big difference

yea the 200x was decent just not fast or big enough for me so far it sounds like the 350x is what ill be looking at once i save up the cash to purchase one cause i know they go for around 1500 and up

ive been on them all and im a monster, the 350x is allright fealing but for all out big guy comfort the tri-z feels like a lazy boy just made for me. Im a honda guy and I stretched the frame on my trike to fit me but the tri-z just feels right for my size.

i think the tri-z is a bit taller and longer than the 250r

its just an 85 tri-z with nothing special about no big bore or anything like that im not sure of the top speed but it keeps me in the pack with my friends on there 400 quads

I am 6', 210 lbs and my younger brother used to kid me when I rode my '82 110. He said I looked like a monkey trying to have sex with a football! LOL! That changed when I got my '84 200s and got even better when I got my '85 Big Red. He re-built a carb for a friend of his 350X and that sucker was sweet! Fit me perfectly.

Just my 2 cents...

The Tri-Z's are a 2 Stroke, 350X 4 Stroke. I'm 6'2" over 300lbs and the 350X pulls me no problem! I'm sure a Tri-Z would too but prefer the 4 Stroke as I basically trail ride. My brother is 6'7" it didn't look small under him either! Hope you find one soon.

A 2 stroke can do trail riding to. I ride my 250r ever where, im 6 foot and 205lbs it pulls my ass around and then some.

I'd try a 85+ big red before you make any decisions.
They are everywhere and everyone I get on is just Fast.
or faster that I'd ever need to go.

parts everywhere, elec start..heck, just do what the rest of us do.

Can't decide?
get both.
