newbie

hey whats up yall. im a newbie here and to 3 wheelers. i just bought 2 hondas today. not sure on the years yet ( were do i look to find out?) but one is a 200s and the other is a 250sx. i paid $500.00 for both of them so i couldnt pass up that deal. the both run great and fired up on the second or third pull/kick. the only thing wrong with them is the plastics a little busted up and they both only have rear brakes and the 200s has a busted up headlight. the 200s has the hand brakes but the cables are messed up and the 250sx only has the foot brake.

this is my first time riding a 3 wheeler and man is it different that riding a 4 wheeler. mostly just the turning part and the light ass front ends. the 200s will pull the front up in 1st but the 250sx is fast as crap and will bring the front up in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Welcome to 3 Wheeler World! :welcome:

It sounds like you got a good deal on your trikes. You can look on the front of the frame behind the headlight and there should be a tag with the model and year on it.

welcome, and congrats...sounds like you got a deal.

If you want new brake cables for your 200s, i got mine from mfgsupply.com and they are outstanding.

Welcome and congrats on the deals. You will find in time that your SX is one of the most fun machines next to a sport trike. I cant get enought of them as you can see from my signature. If you ever need help on either of your trikes post a thread and many experienced people will help you. You have come to the right place.

Try not to run over Your foot.
Don't quit the first time you wreck.

Always think 2-3 steps ahead.
Helmet.
Pads.

People are going to give you a lot of crap.

There's NOTHING like riding a Three-wheeler.

yeah i also have an 85 250sx they are great trikes and pretty fast too its a great trail bike. and nothing beats reverse and electric start! lol

[bigb9582]

i just found out the years today, the 250sx is a 85 and the 200s is a 86. me and my buddy had them out riding some 4 wheeler trails near his house and these things are fun. and i already ran over my leg. i was climbing this hill and got caught in a rut which made the trike tilt so i put my foot down and my foot got cought in some weeds and it went right over my leg.lol it just put some stratchs on my leg.
now i have some ?? about tires. i have to replace one on the 250sx. the two back one are diff. tread designs and they both are 22-11-8 and are tall looking but the 200s has the same size and are wider looking plus its rims wont fit on the 250sx. anyway i went and got another tire and found one that is the same tread pattern as my good tire but is a different brand. its the same 22-11-8 size but it looks wider than my tire. when i put it on my rim and get some air in it will it look less wider and taller looking to match my tire? im assuming the 250sx rims are a little skinnier then the 200s?
