I would say $500-$600 as long as it ran well.

I would say the trike is worth more than you think. Just try to bargain a bit. Those are the original tires on it, so it shows little use. BTW, the stock tires wear out quick with burnouts. :-D

Good eye plkmonster2, I hadn't paid that close attention to it. When I checked it out I grabbed the pipe and engine, all cold. Started no choke second pull in 38 degree weather. He said $700 and I said I'd get back to him this week provided he didn't sell it.

Sounds good to me. Notice that mine also has stock tires. My 3 wheeler started fairly quickly last year in 5 degree weather, with electric start and choke. Does the electric start work? Also, slowly pull the motor over, until you reach the bottom of the compression. Give it a swift tug. If the trike is still fairly good as far as the engine, it should put up a good fight with the compression, without the compression release. You will notice it like stop, because the compression is so intense.

Come on now it's gotta be worth $500 and a Big Mac at least :D :D

Seriously $500 to $800

You think those forks are bent..... you should see the forks on my Yamahauler Trikeholic salvaged from some guy! Luckily, I had a free frame with forks on it laying around here.

That auction for the 225DX ended in mid January.... Wait.... look at the feedback.... the winner has a feedback of (-1) I've never seen that before!!! So Ryan, he might still be trying to sell it because the buyer might have stiffed him with it.
