Tri Moto 175. Sorry, but not a racing 3 wheeler nor is it rare. There are still plenty floating out there. Definately not worth 1200. Ive seen them numerous timea from 2-500. Sorry.

I wonder if it has rear suspension?

[Vealmonkey]

On the Pro Tec kits, you can tell the rear wheels are moved back about 2-3 inches, and that rear axle looks pretty much in the stock location. But I could be wrong. LOL

This is on a YTM 200 but this is what Veal's talking about with longer wheelbase. From what the pic of the 175 looks like its just a regular machine some folks get all caught on the 2-stroke thing as being a "racing 3wheeler" Hell i've had guys tell me they have a "racing 3wheeler" when all they have is a atc185 with a NGK spark plug sticker on the tank!

This is what the owner sent back to me....

" It has a pro-tec tri shock rear suspension made so you can race the old tri motos before the tri z came out in 1985. It has a big bore Big carb & jetted & piped with bassani . The rear suspension on this model is very rare. You can find them on 3wheelerworld.com to see how rare they are. "

This guy must be a member on here I'm sure.

I know, I said the same thing to him, lol

Can the suspension kits still be found..I am looking a buying a stock YT175? Sorry for jacking the thread..

[Vealmonkey]

Yes, the suspension kits can still be found used, but often incomplete. I've found 5 of them so far and bought and resold them all. I haven't found another in a while though.

I too saw that trike on CL... not my type of trike though, looks nice.
