Anyone remember trikes at the dealers when they were new? They were new and something different than dirt bikes. Looking at new quads today (I have one) just does not excite me like I remember drooling over them shiny yellow Tri-Motos at the local Yammy shop!!!

I bought my first 200x brand new off the showroom floor.It was cool going on the floor and picking out wich one I wanted.Also remember being excited about the new models coming out and going to just look at them at the dealer.Thanks for this post.

My local honda store still has a few new trikes hanging on the walls!! Mint trikes!! they have a 70,200x,350x, and a R. Really cool to look at but the owner will never sell them supposedly.... :(

I remember going back in 85 to look we ended up with a big red (still have) and a R which I sold but replaced last year.
