I have enjoyed this whole resurgence of the atc in the past few years. Being someone who has been addicted to trikes since the early 80s,the new popularity is a dream come true. But I've seen a bunch of ads with crazy prices here recently this one being one of the craziest. I hope I never have to pay this much for a 1st Gen X unless it's mint,unassembled in the crate.

Yep. The higher prices is one of the downsides of the trend.

We have some crazy trike prices up in Canada. I would love to get a 350x to add to my fleet but at that price it's just a dream

That's crazy. I can find first gen 200x s here in Cali for about 500$ (rough of course) I paid 1200$ for a decent running 350x a year ago. Glad I bought mine then.

I'm glad I'm in the middle of building a 86R. I'm even happier that I snatched that 85 T3 to do after the R is done a few years ago when it was much cheaper.
This happened with British street bikes starting about 15 yrs ago when I had a 71 Bonnie and a BSA A50. Suddenly they saw a resurgence in the custom bike scene, the whole ton-up resurgence, and the cafe racer craze. Prices on parts and whole bikes exploded. I tapped out. Hipsters made it no fun anymore and of course came The Fall....When the Trendies and Hip-a-lots move on to the next thing and suddenly you're upside down on your investments because the market disappeared before you could sell it.

I think that will happen here too. I think the prices will drop gain once the "fadders" have moved to the next big thing. They may not go back to what they were a few years ago, but I think they will be more reasonable in a few more years.

2800 is slightly more reasonable. $6500? Better be a run once, 87'.

I tell this to my wife every time I go trike shopping, which is daily who am I kidding. People are nuts. I remember when 350x's were $800 and a liquid R cost you a grand..good luck with that now. There are still deals out there it just takes diligent hunting and pulling the trigger before someone else does. I can't imagine people are actually getting what they are asking for some of these.

I was just about to post that picture until I saw you already posted itMore craziness from the east coast.lolSaw this in the Richmond area and was thinking of going to look at it without the intent of buying. $6500 is way too much for a 200x in my opinion but someone might have the money.

Just because they're asking for that much $ doesn't mean they're getting it.
