Here it is in all its glory, a 1985 yamaha Tri-zinger.


Ive wanted a little trike for a long time, and happened apon this one. It needs a little here and there, but its in pretty good shape. I wouldnt have gone after it the way finances have been, but the price tag was only $100 from the original owner.

Got it home, cleaned the carb, and the thing runs like a freaken champ!

Its got a recovered home job seat on it that I will be replacing to factory when I can, and it needs new rear tires.

The fenders are in good shape, just need a little TLC, and polish. I gotta say these little things got some pep to um!

$100! That's a great deal, man. I have one that looks just like yours and I paid WAY more!

Nice score Eric! $100 bucks seems to be a great deal. So did you get the papers with it? Good luck with it.

No teather, or papers, but theres a good fighting chance. The guy is in the middle of a move, you know the story. I might luck out, who knows.

Thanks.

This is the first zinger Ive ever had the chance to pick up, not many at all in my area. Ive been lookin at 70's for a while, just couldnt pass this deal up.

I just got in from rippin it around the yard again. The little suckers are a blast!

nice score ATC-eric, I must agree that those little zingers are a blast. I've got two of them[blue and yellow models] my oldest son loves them. My opinion is that they have the atc 70 beat by along shot. definetly alot more pep then the 70.

Alcohol was most likely involved, but I didnt have to surf for this one; this one hunted me down! :)
