as much as someone is willing to pay for them i spose........sorry for the vague answer mate, but something that is worth a few dollars to some may be worth nothing to others, the best thing you can do (if you are the seller) is to put a price on them

The middle one is an 87 if the tank is correct for that Trike. They are all needing some work. Do they run? Are they yours? The more info the better.

Victoria? as in BC?

We're heading that way tomorrow.

I'd prob buy all 3 but here, we can usually find stuff that runs with a couple hrs work for 200$.
500+ if they run and have usable tires.

My last 86 br needed a side cover gasket and neutral safety sw cost me 175 no brakes
an 87 br needed full carb cleaning and valve adjust cost me 250 almost perfect.
my last sx, orig owner looks like it never got dirty, but tank terminally rusted out 200
runs perfectly, just need to find a tank.
another 85 that could use a front tire and you have to pull what's left of the 'choke' cable to start it. Needed a battery and we wound up doing swing arm bearings after a while - $150

I traded a 200$ 200x for a 85 br that needed a starter, just to give you an idea.

oh, bought a good running, everything works 86sx for 800. It was just too wierd to walk up to something and have it all work, I simply bought it in a weak moment.but thast's more the exception, than the rule.

They don't run and they are near Oregon we were just considering it but it's kinda far now that I think of it

The one on the end is not a 250es, it looks to me to be a 200 something, the one in the middle looks like it has been sunk in a swamp and left, and the one closest to the camera is the only one that looks halfway decent to put cash into and ride, or part out.

id say $500 for all 3 would be plenty, they have been outside so long there growing mold so most every part that moves its shot,so there pretty muck parts units, if they would of been kept inside might of got $1,00-$1,500 for all 3 thats just my 2 cents

I could go look at them for you since I don't need any more trikes, I can be an independent observer.

Been thru at least 30 Honda specfic trikes over the years and kinda know what to look for.

Maybe it's someone who just 'bought the farm' and wants them gone.

If they have compression, they'll probably run but it's nice to see if they shift and have all the gears too.

I start with a small test gas tank, check 4 spark, run 'em to check the gears and shifting and THEN go on to spend time and $$ if necessary.

Worst case is to have to go thru a carb and have the engine be dead or dying but you get a good carb, tires that may hold air.

Do you want me to write to the owner?
and honestly, I do NOT want any more trikes for this season unless they run and are turn key ready.

Too much other stuff to do to get ready for a 3 day festival.
