MOD NOTE: if your buddy wants to post some pictures in main forum that's fine but this links a for sale post on craigslist so it belongs in the craigslist forum. I've moved it where it belongs. For sale posts belong in the classifieds or the eBay/craigslist forum.

Seen this on the local craigslist. Seems like it would be a pretty fun bike. What do you guys think? http://mankato.craigslist.org/sno/4329510005.html

Gas tank choice is... interesting. lol

[nstyle73]

Not the best top mount Z tank I've seen, but its really hard to tell in the picture so we shouldn't judge. Otherwise seems like a good idea.

This is my buddies trike and he's had it forever! He just got tired of the maintainence of the original motor. This thing rips and is a ton of fun to ride! He is very knowledgable and has been a Powersports mechanic for years.

OMG, that's just wrong, lol.

i would have left the smoker in there. that 250f engine barely makes enough power to power the bike let alone a trike

[Louis Mielke]

I don't think the engine is that bad an idea but I would have definitely kept it Yamaha in a Yamaha and built a custom tank

i would have left the smoker in there. that 250f engine barely makes enough power to power the bike let alone a trikeYou smokin somethin? The CRF250 makes 35 horsepower. Roughly 3 times the power of a 200x. Guaranteed that trike hauls ass man, i would love to see it race a 250r.

200x has about 16 hp stock. So like 2x more power...

[DohcBikes]

Well if you wanna be technical about it, i think you're being generous to the 200x, I've never seen anyone say that a 200x has 16hp stock(thats because they dont). Not to mention that most people equate the speed of a 200x to one that has a lot of hours on it, cuz thats what most people ride. 83-85 put out about 12 HP. 86-87 14 HP.

The crf engine is much more likely to be performing at peak stock levels considering the age of each engine.

No matter how you slice it its MORE than 2 times the power, at roughly the same weight, the point was it certainly makes more than enough power to be a FAST trike.

I like it! I would rip it
