I hear ya!
Mine is my 1st tecate I don't even have a picture of it anymore.
It was an ex race trike. 85 w a big motor and big carb! Ran awesome, was fast as hell! Lime plastics w a hot pink frame!
I sent it down the road w a bad stator in the early 90s! I would call on every t3 forsale for years looking for it, I missed it twice by 1 day each time. I havent heard about it in about 6 years now. It either got scrapped, repainted, forgot about or I hope its just in its final home being loved.. lol

Thats one clean little 110! :beer

The trike I miss is one I never actually owned....

Back in '91 I was 13 years old and had a Quadsport. My best friend bought a CHERRY '86 200x. Only non-OEM parts on it was front tire, kill tether, DG exhaust and a twist throttle. It came with an extra set of rear tires on Mitchells (if I recall) 18" Turf Tamers, and a factory service manual. He picked it up for $425. It didn't have so much as hardly a scratch or dent of any kind. But back then people couldn't GIVE one of those evil, deadly 3-wheelers away..

A few years later he sold the 200x to my brother. But by then it had sustained a little damage, not from my friend, but from his siblings! Then my brother sold it to our youngest brother, and then back again. Then about 3 years ago my brother sold it to our cousin. By this time it really needed alot of TLC but she still ran. My cousin got hard-up for money with his work hours being reduced and then sold it. That was about 2 or 3 years ago now and the last I saw it was on CL a couple months after he sold it but was listed for triple what the guy bought it for...

Love me a 2nd gen 200x.. wish I could have been in a position to rescue it and keep it in the family. Up till my cousin sold it, it was pretty much in the family for almost 20 years or so... Gone now :(

I keep trying to tell you people don't get rid of them and you wont miss them. lol when I start running out of roof to put them under I build more for this very reason.

Back in 1990 I had a 86 250R when I was 15. I loved that thing but thought I wanted a faster snowmobile at the time a 1985 Vmax 540 with psi pipes which I wish I still had too.

Hmmm, where to start? I really miss my 88 zilla and 86 350x.
