[kwit]

how much money does everyone have into there 200xes?.. i dotn want to go overboard and get ripped off

[slippy4]

i had 1200+ into my old X. some of which included platics, exhaust, new motor (ebay), mic. bolts, tires, and more that i cant remember anymore

[Buechse_Germany]

hmmm maybe in usa i had to spend about 1000 bucks.... but here in germany i had to spend more than 5000 € for all those parts wich where weard when i bought my 83`200X... Prolink swingarm, ngk power ignition, new wound strator, cobra exhaust, plastics, bearings, clutch, engine overhaul, axle, rims, front tire (as i never saw a worn rear tire on a atc ;) ), kickstarter, Headlights, tail lights asembly (blinkers, breake lights most of all lights are LED based so they dun consume so much energy)...... ow how i wish to live in usa where a trikerider can get parts in shops and doesnt have to buy them overseas, and at last where i can ride wherever u want :?

In the wisdom of "Mr. Spock", to buy a trike for $600, spend $1000 restoring and modifying it, and ending up with something worth $900 when youre finished would seem "highly illogical", but I seem to be one of only a few who harbor this type logic!

[sportvette]

i do the same. i get a cheap trike and spend more than what i paid for it in parts.

i dont know why but it just happens that way. its fun to buy parts and restore a bike.

thanks,
mark

[leprogle]

i paid 200 for a rough 185s, and put 100 into it and could prob. sell it for $800. I think i good a good deal :-D

[Da_Catt]

I would say I am at about $1200 right now. It is not running, has no front brakes, no rear fenders, and crappy rear tires. I am looking at another $300 to $400 more to have a nice 200x.

[yater]

I've got about $1500 in my '86 200x. Little things just add up. I like it to run perfectly and look almost as good.

[Wickedfinger]

Cripes, I think Billy, TimSr, Howdy and me need to take a trip to Germany - with a container full of our trikes - Hell, Howdy would come back a millionaire!!

[Buechse_Germany]

yup, just imagine i`ll tryed to get an oem atc 200x rear plastic...they said its an 2 piece part now and one side will cost about 450 € thats about 550 $ for one side... 1100 bucks for the complete fender.... or the swingarm OEM ONLY for 800 $ cool huh... ow and i saw an atc 90 (or was it a 70 dunno wasnt that cool at all) selled in ebay (it was realy worn had no tires a broken fender and a bend exhaust) for only 3500 € cool huh....theyre a bit crazy about them cuz u only can drive those trikes if u got them listed (u know so u get a number plate on the back...dunno how else i can tell it) before 1987 cuz we got a bit more trouble with the (uhm maybe its telled so) street aproval (or admission dunno) here in germany then in usa....
I think i`m the only one with a trike (except those mad chopper trikes) here in my town (dresden is the capital of saxonia).
the only quads i saw here is an grizzly 2 raptors and 2 or 3 blasters.... so it seems to be quite special to have such a trike here in germany...

so heres my advice: if u know the shipping costs for such a trike put them up in ebay.de and earn a bit money... i can write u the German Text too if cha want.....

[rednecks_rule350x]

i put oh......about 3,200 dollares in my 200x. it's tricked out to the gilt. i'm selling it for 3,500 dollares.it may sound a little high but u should see this thing. :twisted: :shock:

[TRI-Zbrian]

personaly i dont think a 200x is worth wasting that much $$$ on unless you really really love the 200x, performance wise you would be better off just upgrading to a bigger trike.

[Da_Catt]

I wish i never started to dump money into my 200x. i have really been thinking about parting it out. I can not $500 for it but i have receipts for more. i have lost interest in it a little cuz i like to go fast. but when you start a project you never know how bad it is until you tear into it. i sure i will get mine going sometime.

[Chopperdad]

I guess I am a little different than most you guys. I have like $350 in my 200x. It is not pretty but runs great and I can beat the crap out of it, and park. I don't have to worry about scratches or scrapes or if it is clean. I do wash it every now and then. I say just ride em hard and put them away wet. Just like woman.

[Trucker200X]

I've got all of about $580.00 bucks in my 83' 200X..
Trike: $450.00
2 Rear Tires: $125.00
1 Can of Paint: $5.00
I figure if I keep it for my Wife to ride I will buy new Plastics, Front Tire, and Exaust...The absolute most I will put in it will be $1000...

[Trikeaholic]

Bought this for $800, a little of this and a little of that later mabye $1200

[STS]

hey JD where'd you get that seat cover?

[jdparsons1]

It was on the bike when I got it, but I've seen them on ebay a ton of times.

[jdparsons1]

I have doubts about how much you could get for your trike in germany. I just went to the ebay.de site and did a search of completed auctions and found a liquid 250r that was listed for $1000 and didn't sell, that converts to like $1244. I was actually considering this because I work for a cargo carrier and we have 3 different offices in Germany that our planes go to.

[Beer_Smurf]

I got my '84 200X for $650.00
Since then I've done chain, sprockets, rear tires and wheels, front tire, front and rear bearings, carb rebuild.
So at this point probably a good $1000.00 into her.
It's a good little trike, my wife loves it.

So to all you guys saying, "I'm gonna sell my 200x and buy something faster.", get yourself something faster, but keep the X.
Someday you may have a girlfriend. Maybe......

[3watc]

Where do you guys get the performance parts for your 200xes? How fast will they go decked out?

I would have to disagree on the "worth" part.

Maybe its only worth $900 to you if its a 200X. I've seen nice even good condition 200x's go for over $1100 on ebay,local paper,and sometimes Auto-Rv.

As far as ebay goes,you will have your good and bad days. Not always the right buyer sees the auction.
