i just called and got voicemail. im wondering if someone can ballpark a figure of what its value is with that suspension kit on it givin the trike is in good running condition without issues. If its truely a STEAL of a deal i might just go pick it up pending someone else hasnt already.

I don't post often but I'm glad someone got this one. When I first started looking for a 3 wheeler my classmate said you should get a 175 my father took me to the dealer that said classmates dad owned where the salesman told my father "that's way too much of a machine for him get the 125" That's how the Yamaha 125 came to be my 1st 3 wheeler.

Ben tells me I stole this.. I guess it's way better than in the pics :p:Bounce. He could tell you more about the guy. But I think he's older and Probably hadn't raced. But that's just my guess! Thanx again Ben. I owe you one!

I would say he was late 30's early 40's. He seemed to be knowledgeable and knew what he had . That was until he was pumping the choke.I thought maybe the cable was sticky until he told me "you have to pump it a few times"The trike isn't perfect but it is in very good shape and I would be proud to own it.

here's a few pics.It looks like the po started to clean up the fenders and gave up shortly into it 155641 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he was no electrician155642Now for the good parts155643The bassani pipe is in real nice shape155644It came with a nos spare headlight and a very nice used bezel,The headlight bucket isn't correct,it has a hole in the top for the oil light but it is nos.155645It also came with a very nice spare seat155646 It currently has an aluminum front wheel on it that the offset is incorrect so it doesn't have front brakes but it did come with the stock wheel and most of the brake parts(no cable/lever) All in all it was a great deal for bill. The pipe and pro tec are worth more than he paid for it plus it is just a cool trike. Oh yeah ,it's an 85 model incase you were wondering Bill. I tried to get a pic of the ID sticker on the neck but it didn't turn out.
