Nice! Shame it didn't have its original tank, no chance the guy had it laying around somewhere and forgot about it? Either way that does look good in the end. Those later 125 verticals are rare as can be here in the Midwest. I have seen two in person in the 30 years i have been playing with trikes. I know of one locally, stashed in a garage, the old guy that owns it won't let it go and it just sits there slowly rotting away. Some day he will pass on and i will offer the family a handful of cash i hope. None of them are the least bit interested in it, they have my name and number, i see them now and then, it might be the long game on getting that one and saving it. Last i saw it the seat was chewed by mice but the rest is all there and the tires are flat and cracked. Its got good plastics and its salvageable, he just won't sell it for any amount. But i bet his family will when they have to clear the place out.
I scored another 200 finally a couple weeks ago and posted about it. Just got the tank painted this weekend, a few more final touches to put on it. But its a strong runner and a fun as heck trike to buzz around on. I will finish getting a license plate on it this coming week and get the city registration done and then it can go anywhere and buzz around town. Built this one for the wife to ride, she liked the little 90 but always wanted to ride my 200ES. I also just got word about a 200E non running for sale... I "might" have a look at it if its still available. But if i drag that one home it will probably be a flip.
