Poor old ugly freakin bike. I've seen lots of ugly ones but this one takes the super ugly award.

This should be in the ebay/CL sub-forum, but anyways,
I cant even imagine what that thing has gone through, but heck it may be worth $100 in parts, and you might even be able to talk the guy down

I wouldn't even want it as a parts bike, I wouldn't wanna deal with that mess. Plus you'd be putting half of it in the scrap pile.

Yeah there's nothing I would want on that bike. Lost cause from many years of abuse.

Not sure hard to tell what it used to be! :) what year BR do you have? It wouldn't surprise me if those forks were welded.

It is in fact a 1982 or 1983 ATC200E BIG RED but wow... I don't usually comment on something like this but Holy mother of God that is THE UGLIEST 3 wheeler I have ever seen and I have seen some junkers , LMAO that seat kills me

Yeah, if it were a 200m i'd get it for the forks but being a 200E it wouldn't do me much good. I may still go pick it up....could use the dampers out of the forks if he'll take 50. My wife is going to kill me lol

if I buy it, I'll post some pics...I bet this guy is right down the street lol

Can probably get $30 - $50 for the recoil if it works. Looks like a yammie gas tank 200 or 225. Could be an 84/85 blue 110 front fender? Can't tell if it's painted or not.

I have had worse in complete collection buy outs. There is some good parts in them. You just have to find them and do some wrenching. Like mr sound says the recoil alone will get you some dough back easily.

Very true when I sold all my 3 and 4 wheeler parts I got big money. I got $50-75 for all 12 of my recoils for various machines.

I sent this guy an e-mail yesterday but he hasn't responded. I guess offering $50 was "low-ballin'" in his opinion.
