After having a YTM200ES several years ago, I wanted another trike and just bumped into another one.

85 honda 200s or atleast whats left of one for the low low sum of $50.

Thanks, the kid snapped the rope on teh recoil and kinda gave up on it. Got it jump started pushing it with a friends quad and this little old thing roots. Not grunty like my old yamaha, but definately plenty of power. little low in first, but its always good to have a lower gear. Definately a fun little ride to be.

It has Duro HF245's on it, how do these tires do in the goey stuff? I haven't got out to try them in it yet.

Nice Find !

Is that hail in the picture ? I was thinking snow, but after the tornados around here last Sunday you had me wondering.

flash on the sleet, its dark out, very few tornados in the top right corner of the country and the biggest hail ive seen in my life was golf ball sized and we got a couple inches of the stuff on the ground.

yes, its nice to have something to ride once again, and it will be good for the summer. Kind of a different feeling without plastic on it or most of the other unecessary for operation equipment.

I think the DG pipe on it paid for the $50 dollar investment.

Best part is it fits in the back of the bronco (Non-Fullsize)

Those tires are for flat track racing. :w00t: Throw a number plate on that badboy and you should be good to go. ;):welcome:
