I think mine will always be 3rd gen R's. Never owned one, but have always wanted one. They were the big gun in my youth, and the look, sound, and speed of them will always be a thing that draws me to them. The Nicholson and Dickson suspended 90/110's are pretty neat too, as well as the Pauter hard-tail, but I think my 110 will be staying fairly stock for now, and I'll build up a Nuttier one from scratch when $ allows. That is unless I end up with a Liquid R, then that's probably all I'll want to do. Ever.

So... What's your favourite trike, and why?

85/86 R's by far next would be the tecate and from what i hear tecate would be my favorite if i owned one. Only had my R a week and im in love couldnt consider a quad or another bike even though first week has began some work and tinkering the power and the feel of these machines is unreal.

WOW! That's a loaded question! LOL!

Basing my "favorite" only on what I have owned or ridden enough in the past I have to say mine is the 3rd gen 250r of course....

But boy oh man it's hard to beat the "all-round-fun-factor" of a 2nd gen 200x...

I can honestly say the 350X is my ALL TIME favorite. I like my R for the ice,the red when I have the ole lady. But comfort,torque,fuel range,and reliability puts the 350X on top IMO...

I'm a big fan of utility trikes. My all time favorite would have to be the '84 200ES (even though I've never owned one)! Shaft drive, reverse, electric start, high/low range...need I say more!!!

I always like the X's 200 and in 350 verity. And there's 85-86 250R's Rode them but never owned one, and I don't now why. I found some good deals on them back in the early 90's but never put one in the stable.

I think any full suspension, 4 stroke sport trike is best, X's and SX.

Then there's the TPC's :) which I think would easily take #1

If we are talking all time favorite I must go with the 250sx. I say this because it is very versatile. I am not saying this based on what I own as I do not currently own an sx, but the very best all around trike to my knowledge. If you only have ridden a 250r and it was only in the dunes how in the world would you know what the others are like? I guess this is a trick question. Maybe based on personal likes. :)

Lol wow that is amazing! What is the size of that sprocket in the back 20? haha that thing looks small. Love the tank shrouds.

I guess it doesn't really matter what you own, especially for me only ever having owned one trike. It's more what tweaks your fun-tit. :D If I could get my hands on a 350x, or a TPC I might just fall in love with one of those too.

As much a Tecate guy as I am, every time I ride a 350X I wonder why I don't own one.

Well, I grew up on a 200s. I never had much fun with my 350x because out in the woods it was just to fast. Nice in the sand pits but to fast for the woods. I'm going to have to say my 84 200es because of the low range.
