The Big Red 250es would do you right, as will the 350x. Welcome!

Pysko I'm over here in Jesup ga east of waycross. Why do yall say the 350x would be better also what yrs were they produced? Are the easily modified?

[SYKO]

sweet! we try to ride sandhill sandpits in waycross as often as much as wel can its jut north of waycross on hwy 1 going towards alma right on the satila river

well you like mudding and fast trail riding, best suited to a four stroke good power to sling some gook and enough to fly through the trails at a good click they were made in 85-86 lots of parts are avail still and tons of hop up parts and new ideas for these machines

here is the one in valdosta

Sounds fun ill get me a trike and we'll all met up there. Well I found a 200x not running in great shape for 250.00 and I found another 200x running in good shape for 900 obo. I'm on a tight budget cuz I work for georgia forestry or I would would be making a trip to valdusta! O and I found a 250 big red for 100 bucks it needs a cid box and fenders and seat.

JUMP on the BR, and low ball the none running 200x!

[Big-D]

yea i think im going to offer the dude with the 200x 150.00 what yall think? its in tip top shape! just the motor locked up. but someone said something about the 3rd gear gone out could lock it up. the mechanic checked the compresion on the BRed and said for as old it is it has compresion like a new one!

[Big-D]

also the 200x will it be a good trail bike? can u fixem up to make them mean? also would BR parts work on the 200x?

[SYKO]

get that 200x I got a motor for it. And yea they can be a good trail bike they can get alittle mean but still nothing compared to a 350x, the 200x will be faster then a 250es though pm me about 200x stuff

[Big-D]

K ill send u a pm

Welcome to the forums! One thing you should know about the 200x is there were MAJOR changes made to that model in 1986. 83-85 models are pretty much the same and the 86-87 models are alike. The easiest way to tell the difference is the 83-85 had round tubing frames and the 86-87 had square tubing for frames.

I work a lot in the Jesup/Waycross/Alma area. Glad to here there are some places to ride. Mostly dirt roads around the house.

So, did you get the trikes? If so, how much and pics!
