Newbie 200x questions

[ml1275]

Hi Guys

Newbie on here looking to get my first trike. I have always wanted on from being a kid in the early eighties.

Anyway I have seen a 200x that takes my fancy, but wondered if it was possible to fit a towbar to this trike as it would be dead handy for launching my standup jetski (this makes it easier to justify to the wife ;) )

Cheers

Shouldnt be to hard . but you'll have to worry about it standing up on you .

Hey ML
welcome to the forum:) good to see another member from the UK...
to the question Yes you can fit a tow bar to a 200X but it doesn't have reverse so backing up your jetski into water could be a problem......

thanks
Pete

It would be good to pull them around.

Thanks for the quick response guys

Not bothered about the reverse - I'll just drive it into the sea........ Only kidding ;) . The ski is a standup so is easy to pull around by hand.

I currently have an XR200R - is the 200x the same motor or a lower spec version.

my swingarm has a trailer hitch welded onto it which i dont really care for, so im guessing it wouldnt be hard

[ml1275]

What year 200X is it?


Probably an 83 as that was the only year we had in the UK (correct me if I,m wrong ) unless its a private import

If you wanted you could switch to a 1984 or 1985 200X rear swingarm.


Here is a pic my 1985 200X rear swingarm.

I take it from that the '83 arm is different (Obviously not as good!!)

Ya,the 83 is tubular.It is weaker.
