Hi, I got an old Honda enduro ('77 CT125) last fall because it was cheap and the logging road is couple hundred yards from my front door. My dad got in on it and go an '87 TRX350 also a good deal so we got the idea to snap up every cheap bike quad and trike we can get our hands on, It has snowballed on us in a good way. Our 2 bikes, a trashed TRX300FW, a (modified/rewired) chinese atv for the youngins, 3 complete z50 to be restored/refurbed every e22 type motor (clones and real Hondas), a ct70 clone, a trashed CRF70 clone, and finaly a trike my dads freind wanted us to get $800 for on "consignment".
I'll be paying the 8 bills for the trike out of pocket and will not be leaving my personal collection, containing my excitment when looking it over was dificult. It's a 1984 ATC200ES 99% stock in at least 8-9/10 cosmeticaly and mechanicaly well maintained and even washed befor being put away for the season. It was just used for hunting once every year or two the rear gearbox is still shiny silver paint with no baked on mud/oil and flaking corosion. The impression I'm getting is thats a decent trike for a good price? I'll be picking it up tomorow :)
I Also bundled A complete 1970 US90 motor in with a bunch of chinese e22 bottom ends it seems to have decent comperssion but the carb cap has been crushed from being rolled around out of the bike. Does this thing have any value ethier to a restorer? Is it a great setup that I should keep for putting into a kids quad or a CT70? US90s look like they'd be hard to find?
Thanks, Thor.
