A childhood friend was trying to upgrade to a bigger trike and I picked up two of his four trikes. I picked up:
Another 225 DX. I ran up to about a year ago. Has some carb issues.
A 83’ Big Red 200E. Ran in the last year has some carb issues. Needs a little more TLC then the 225 DX. I paid $650 for both trikes and he delivered them (have the Big Red). Best part my wife hasn’t noticed it the garage even walking by it lol.
I already have a 225 DX. My initial thoughts are to keep the second DX for a spare and make my money back. I have a friend who is interested in the Big Red. His Dad has a 82 200 without the electric start. I’m planning on using the bike I have as a deer hauler. I have a 2 mile walk back and forth to the truck. In a MI winter it sucks to drag a deer. Thats the primary use. I’m a large guy. About 6’7” and about 300 lbs. Am I thinking about this right?
Keeping the DX’s:
- runs already
- better suspension
- shaft driven
- a spare bike for parts - harder to find parts
- less racks
- more get up then the 200 (raced the buddy on his dad)
Thoughts?
