tri-moto 175 found , is it worth it?

[SYKO]

while doing an inspection today, my constantly wandering junk eye spotted a little yellow trike out of the corner of my eye.... went over its a yamaha tri-moto 175 thats complete! And it runs! the owner pulled it one time and it crakled to life for a min! all the plastic is there just needs a good cleaning, no cracks the original seat, he does have one wheel/tire off he was messing with the brakes. Some cobled up rack and a aftermarket exhuast for it that has never been put on! He said make him an offer I said $100 so is it worth it?

Damn skippy it is! You will have fun, jump on it. Almost too fast for a hardtail. I want pictures of you sliding that one sideways!!! Let me know about that aftermarket exhaust if you don't want it, first dibs I'm calling. LOL

[edog]

yES yES yes yes

[WaimakRydah]

I would pay $100 for a running trike its a pretty good deal.

[trizilla]

yeah dude it is worth it. prolly the pipe is worth that, and werent you l;ooking for some blaster parts.;)

[saturnthegiant]

Looks like a good deal!

[jason 32]

dang the plastics are worth that alone-

[LonesomeTriZ]

If you do not want it I do. Pick it up and Melissa will shot you the money. If nothing else I need that pipe for my 175 project.

[TriMotoMan]

that is an awesome deal, i wish there were deals like that where i live

[Dirtcrasher]

I love those trikes, I think it's well worth it!!

[the tecate kid]

No way is it worth it. Why dont you give me the guys number and I will just haul it off for him. I wouldnt want you to go to the trouble. So what do ya say?

[Taiser]

Lots of junkers seem to go for 100$, must be a magic number. I'd buy it for 100 bucks. The 175 was a little rocket in it's own right and the rear engine placement made them awesome wheelie machines! :D

[Trikeaholic]

white bros pipe! shoot, thought I had the only one. At least it looks like a white bros!

[cybrman]

Nice find.
I had an 83 175 growing up. Not the best engineered machine imho but I still want to find one myself someday.
Good luck with that restoration, I know you will do it up right! Hell ya its worth it!!

[SYKO]

lol! you guys kill me! lmfao!! I think I will pick it up sometime next week, I may keep it I may not, never been a yamaha man we'll see..... I know a good home for it if I decide not to.

[Frankencelery]

Never been a Yamaha man myself either until I snagged this for $300 last week. (I know I already posted it but I'm still so proud of it!) I'd probably have walked away from it a couple weeks ago, but now that I have one, I'd jump on that one! I assume with that big pipe it's a 2-stroke, right?

[edog]

I think the best Yamaha trike ever made was the 225.

[225DX DUDE]

I do not like the looks of the 125's and 175's but for $100 bucks I would snag it up. I am not sure what pipe that is but its probably worth that $100 alone?
I also like the 225's the best out of what Yamaha has made.

[hotrodtodd]

it is worth it if you have the money

[Trble]

Have a 225DX i am slowly returning to its former self now, just seems a bit more complicated with the shaft drive and all compared to my R and X's

[elanharper]

i would definetly do it
