I've owned 4 Kawasaki Tecate's. 2 1988 Tecate's in which I needed in the end to make 1 good bike.
Same with my 84 as well as the 85. In my area these bike were never heard of until me. I sold both the 84and 85 to buy the parts t4 i needed to fix my near mint t4. It ran like hell except in neutral. It reved to the moon in neutral. Traded my life of trikes to get a truck to fix and eventually drive.And the parts frame sold to a friend for 120$ I have lost interest in the truck and plan to sell and use money to fix my life up again.
1 is to buy my tecate 3 wheelers back. With my fresh rebuilt t4 rear shock and almost a complete tecate 4 motor I can get it running great. They never ran the same after the purchase of the 84. I blew it up as soon as I got it home. Was going to change the carb cause I have all 3 manuals and wanted to put stock on. Well my buddy showed up and wanted to go for a run and I forgot to tighten the carb flange and it had no ignition switch.

Later the trike was rebuilt after the blow up by RPM Cycle of Dartmouth Nova Scotia. That ass hole. And screwed up both the t4 and t3.
I love trikes and want to buy it back. I sold the trikes 1 running and 1 for parts. I thought the stator was starting to die so I sold it.

I have so many kawasaki 2 stroke parts That I hope can fix it. I can buy it back all the parts except for 84 frame for about 400-500 cnd. Its not running and the guys an idiot and don't know bikes at all.

Should I buy them or "IT" back and sucome to the tecate myth or look for something else?

I say get it, make a monster out of your 85. I am the only one on the island that I know of to have a T3 but I'm always lookin. Rare breed around here.

Really? I dont doubt there are more its just a bike that I never see, I mean where i lve there are only a handful of sport bikes:

1 KXF400
2 Raptors (one is a 730 eek)
1 Banshee
1 84 250R
1 Predator
3 Blasters
1 300EX
1 85 Tecate (all mine)

All the listed bikes are new or old and in crappy shape so the restore that I've done on my bike makes is one of the coolest rides around. I'd love to find another Tecate owner around here.

TECATE250, where are you from in NS? I am in Enfield.

I seem a tecate in the bargain hunter a while back for $500 but that's about the only time I have ever seen one forsale in NS.

Very rare!

How many years ago was that?

There are alot of trikes around Enfield. Mainly 250 Big Reds. I know of 1 200x that is forsale....hmmm seem a Blue Yamaha the other day and I know my cousin has a 250r (used to be my brothers).

Everyone is slowing moving to the quads and the trikes are going forsale :D

That just reminded me, there is 1 350x in Enfield. Not sure where it is at now as the guy that owned it died in a car accident. I believe his brother fixed it up and wants like $2500 for it (not worth it)

If you hear tell of any 350x's out there that are cheaper let me know, i'd be interested in getting one!
