Nice sounding bike Ben. Another great build. Good job man. Something they should have built in the 80s and maybe the ban wouldnt have happened if people had choices of different size machines to start out on. Whats next? CR, RM, KX, YZ 125 trike?

Whats next? CR, RM, KX, YZ 125 trike?86 kxt 200,85 kxt drag bike then I would like a 125 conversion

A 200cc Tecate would be cool. If I make it to T'Fest next year, I want to ride everything you bring, haha

Cool video. That front wheel spends more time in the air then it does on the ground!

Awesome build Ben. I got all fired up at first with the angry neighbor. I was glad to see she was cool after all.

[RodKnockRacing]

that machine sounds awesome

[G-Ram]

Just went and looked up your build thread and I must say it looks awesome! Sounds great too. Can't wait to finally get my cr80 trike conversion underway! I wish I had parts "laying around" like you haha

A 200cc Tecate would be cool. If I make it to T'Fest next year, I want to ride everything you bring, hahaThe 200 should be done by TF 2013, It's already being built. It should be a screamer,85 JP racing national race engine stuffed into a modified 86t3 frame.I will get pics up after I get more done on it.

Ben are you going to bring that 80 and 200 to Geneva flat track races next year.That little 80 rips.Great job. I hear those 200 Tecates are animals.I remember reading about them back in the day .I think Team Green racer Donny Luce raced one.

I hear those 200 Tecates are animals.I remember reading about them back in the day .I think Team Green racer Donny Luce raced one.I can't see any reason to bring the 80 down unless there were atleast 3 other similar machines there to have a mid size class. The 200 could make it's way there,I'm not really sure what I am going to do with it yet. The 200 engine is a little too rare for me to wanna beat the snot out of it on the track every weekend even though thats what it's intended use was. I spent two weeks researching and sourcing a piston for it and only was able to come up with 2 different sized pistons so that only gives me 1 top end rebuild and if the crank gets messed up.... well I think it would be done

That is pretty cool. Does it have an aluminum swingarm?

[just ben]

That is pretty cool. Does it have an aluminum swingarm?it's steel, came from an 85 tecate http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthread.php/147216-my-rm-80-conversion
