Ok so i bought my atc 110 in resonable condition for £500. i know its above its value, but i was desperate. Its red at the moment, but i was considering changing its colour, painting it. Is this a good idea? or will it devalue the trike? What colour do you guys suggest? thanks,

DO NOT PAINT THAT TRIKE!!!

How bad can it possibly be? Got any pics? Use some fine grit sandpaper and polish them or replace the plastics... all you'll do is devalue that poor thing.

Thanks lol, ok i wont paint it, but i would like to do something to it to enhance it, i could do with adding a bale rack, as its also used on our farm. Heres a pic....any suggestions of what i could do to it? It has new tires on it.

i would have to agree with the above----------^
heres an awesome, fully detailed way to renew those to like new. give it a read before you paint those plastics.

By the looks of that pic that 110 is in real good shape. Just wipe the dust off it! I don't know the exchange rate but it's safe to say that is a $500-$800 trike no problem. Any kind of hondaline goodies you can find to add to it (racks, speedo, floorboards...etc.) should increase the value somewhat... but if it were mine and i used it as an everyday rider, I'd keep it the way it is.

Im from the UK,

Painting that trike will devalue it significantly. You paid pretty much the most 110's pull over here unless there absolutely mint. By the looks of it a new seat cover would help. ;)
