Help with ID of this Yamaha trike on a local auction site...

[EZ in NZ]

Hi Guys.....

This trike looks pretty tidy and I don't think it is a YFM or a late 80's model(!) but can someone tell me for sure what it is and is it worth grabbing?

It's on a local auction site, sort of a mini Ebay run here in NZ.

The pic isn't great but if you guys think it's a good model, I'll have a go at grabbing it for a 2nd trike.

Thanks in advance.

Either a 225dx or dr.

I think it is a 225dxr limited edition. I have picture of one in my old magazines somewhere.You should keep an eye on it for sure!

Thanks Guys. Worth buying for the right price? I don't know much about the Yamaha trikes and I was looking for another Honda for my wife but this looks like a good ride.

Thanks

is that price in pounds or dollars?

It's in NZ Dollars. That means around $400US at the current exchange rate. I went and took a look at it today. Not bad at all.

I got that trike today. I was outbid on the auction and then the winning bidder didn't come through so the owner offered it to me.

I'm pretty sure this trike is a 1986 ytm225DRS. It has "Tri Moto Reverse" stickers still on the side of it and according to a website I found that says the 10th character on a Yamaha VIN denotes the year it was made - it's an 86. Cool.

Paid $850NZ for it. ($520US). Needs a good tidy up but it's all there and runs well.

I'll post some pics when I borrow a digital camera.
