What honda trike is this?

[ph4ze]

Hey guys, I am new here and im looking at this trike for sale that I am looking to fix up. I know its 4 stroke but the guy selling it has no clue what it is only that its a honda and 3 wheeler. Im getting this running trike for pretty dirt cheap so I really want to figure this out. Thanks guys for any input.229482

Can you look at the steering stem and get the vin #? 17 digits on the neck

It is an 85 or 86 250SX. Welcome to the site, BTW.

I will once I go look at it today around 4 5 ET. He says it runs but just doesnt have a gas tank and he welded on the back fenders. For $200 bucks I will definitely take it off his hands. All 17 digits of the vin? i hope its even still on there lol

Any problems that i should look out for with these once I go see it? And thank you tripledog!

Perhaps some of the brighter forum members than myself will chime in. I am by no means an expert, but there a lot of great guys here that provide you the info that I can not. I think that somewhere on this site is a thread on what to look for when buying a trike. I will try to find it for you, but no promises. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Yeah, for $200, I'd buy that yesterday!!!

Those steel fenders a recipe for amputation. Very dangerous. As far as the gas tank goes, metal tanks in good shape are as rare as hen's teeth. You may need to buy an aftermarket tank, such as this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HONDA-85-87-ATC250SX-ATC-250SX-GAS-FUEL-TANK-WITH-CAP-PLASTIC-/221655947882?hash=item339bb95a6a:m:mPJT0QJoXO4K-lJALbozYoA&vxp=mtr
