what are these trikes worth

[NICKG]

well i am thinking of selling a few of these to get a streetbike
86 tecate: runs great(starts 1st kick), all stock,tank faded,new brakes, rebuilt shock, nos front and rear fenders (not installed)
86 tecate ex racer, 40mm carb, ext axle(i measured at least 6 over stock) 8"wheels and hubs, vented a box lid, calfab +3 swinger, steering stabilzer , rebuilt/revalved shock, needs frt tire, some bearings (have them) runs well. bassani pipe(may be dg) new dg silencer(comes with headlight too)
85 tecate: runs great, rebuilt forks/shock, nos rad grill and headlight, new bearings everywhere, nice clean stocker(even has stock grips) needs little
85 atc250r: pretty machine, starts and runs mint, new oem rear fenders, overall very nice macine, new frt tire(oe) has a few scrapes on the tank and a cracked frt fender
I am just looking to see what the consensus is on what they are worth.

Nick you should be able to get a great amount out of all of those trikes. Im interested in the hubs if you want to sell them. Are they 4x110 bolt pattern?

[200xalltheway]

I'd say $4500-$5200 for all. Give or take a couple hundred.

$4500-$5200 Maybe selling together but selling seperate you would get atleast $1500+ out of each trike. IMO I would put them on ebay and set your reserve at the lowest price you will take. Just dont sell them together or you wont make as much.

[trikerider2oo7]

if they are as nice as they sound, they are worth quite a bit

[NICKG]

well i am gonna sell at least 2 of these and my 99 cr250. what ones should go? i am partial to the 85 tecate, but can't ride them all

i count 3 trikes..........multiply that times $1500 = 4500....now then that being said.....4500 -5200 sounds about right if you sell them as complete trikes...people do make more parting them but to me that is alot of work for a little bit extra money....i would sell the green junk and keep the 250r... good luck...

[NICKG]

i may sell all of them, i have a near new trx250r(i bought in 87new and rode like 5 hrs on) to ride and a klx650 daul sport. i just think i want to get a ducati or an rc51

[md1985250r]

it sounds like you got a very nice collection there nick. its all gonna come down to what do you really want to do with the trikes. do you need money , then sell something. myself ,it would be a difficult decision , to say the least!!!i think i would sell one of the tecates( you got 2 right?) and maybe the trx , just because they are a bit easier to come by , but again its not an easy decision and i wish you luck.....

I counted 4

well i am thinking of selling a few of these to get a streetbike
1. 86 tecate: runs great(starts 1st kick), all stock,tank faded,new brakes, rebuilt shock, nos front and rear fenders (not installed)
2. 86 tecate ex racer, 40mm carb, ext axle(i measured at least 6 over stock) 8"wheels and hubs, vented a box lid, calfab +3 swinger, steering stabilzer , rebuilt/revalved shock, needs frt tire, some bearings (have them) runs well. bassani pipe(may be dg) new dg silencer(comes with headlight too)

4. 85 atc250r: pretty machine, starts and runs mint, new oem rear fenders, overall very nice macine, new frt tire(oe) has a few scrapes on the tank and a cracked frt fender

Maybe Im wrong? Also I wasnt talking about parting them out. What I was trying to say was dont sell them grouped together sell each trike seprate(sp?)

[md1985250r]

oops my bad on the count....... :oops: sry

[NICKG]

well i know that i won't sell the trx250r, it is literally new and it don't think anyone would pay what i think it is worth(i turned 5000 down). i wold think the one 86 stocker tecate is worth at least 2100, the 250r 1700 and the tecate racer(86) i would just be better off parting. the 85 tecate is the one i have a soft spot for...but. who knows. I am afraid of ebaying these cause i had a spare trx250r frame and sold it like 4 times on ebay to get deadbeat bidders 3 times(and about 125 in fees because of it).

[XDAWG]

If you do ebay them just make it clear that people with a certain amount of negative feedback are not welcome to bid and that they must have atleast a certain amount of feeback or you will cancel thier bids because of the problems others have caused before.

Something like
Anyone with a negative feedback or anyone who doesnt have a feedback of 20+ cant bid unless contacted first. Sorry but I have lost to much money on deadbeat bidders. Dont just think once or twice before you bid please think 3 or 4 times before you hit that button. Thank you!

[tecatemantodd]

what kind of streetbike you looking for Nick?

[NICKG]

i want to get a ducati 748 or gsxr750 or rc51 or a zx7/9/10

[Trikeaholic]

im kinda in the same situation. The folks just bought a house on the lake, and are wicked lame people. They are in no real hurry to get a boat, but I really like water skiing and tubing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, etc. I want my kids to be active and into activities like that and team sports as well. I would like to have a decent Ski Nautique, Supra or Supreme inboard ski boat, but I really dont want to spend my savings or borrow alot of money to get it. Then there is this Tiger 250 sitting around, that I will NOT ride, my kids will NOT ride and while its sitting home in the garage, I will be standing on the beach thinking "boy, it would be sweet to go skiing today................."

[ScottZJ]

I would love one of those T-3's. :-D

i know that feeling holic....I LOVE SLALOM SKIING....i had to sweettalk my wife to let me borrow against my retirement so i could buy my boat....turned out to be a really good move ....borrowing from myself and paying back interest to myself = good deal.....anyway just a thought if its an option...good luck


ps ..if you ever get to md, you call , we ski :Beerchug
