    Good for a first timer

    My gf wants to ride a 3 wheeler when we go out rideing but the sx is alittle to heavy and wheely happy for her and she's not good with hand clutch model's so i caught a deal on a 110 i think with hi and low range would this be better if not about what cc or better yet what trike would be better for her to start out on?

    A 110 is a great starter but i would lean towards a 84-85 125m as they have electric start as well as hi lo range. The 86-87 models are hard to find but they are even better. They dont have hi lo but they are 5 speed with reverse.

    Even a 185/200 would work. If she has a hard time keeping the front down on your SX, maybe you should work with her on throttle control. Just a suggestion. Mine doesn't seem to be overly wheelie happy.

    The 185s is more sportier than the 185. I think has a shorter wheel base (I could be wrong on that though), 3 inch smaller tires, higher top speed. the '83 s models had front suspension. They had the exact same engine too except for the the '80 185 which is just had one tiny difference.
