Picked up a 1985 Tri Moto 200

Found it right down the street from work, what do you guys think?

The blue is a little much..

With the engine so far back, it is definitely lighter in the front...Seems like a pair of mudlights would be at home on this machine.

Looks awesome. Blue 200 Tri Motos are hard to come by.

It's got a goofy light on it I was thinking about changing, but unsure what I' m going to do with it. The wife was not thrilled when it showed up...Plus, it doesn't really fit my style (cruiser vs sport), but I got it for a good deal and had the trailer on the back of the Jeep already haha. I may try to clean it up a bit and pass it along. Might pay for the HRE swingarm I've been eyeballing for the tecate.

I see those aren't stock forks. Interesting setup. I'm sure you could sell it for a decent amount
Good luck to you.

huh, that's interesting. The forks looks like the stock ones, but they have an additional bracket on the right fork. 1 side has a black cap instead of a schrader valve, the other a screw in cap also without a valve. The bottom mounts look the same, the stock drum is there, even those vent hoses coming out of the forks. The bearings in the steering stem are GONE, feels like all the balls fell out.

I'll have to check to see if the PO welded it on or something.
