Going tomorrw to look at a 1983 Honda 200es thats cheap. Says it does have spark and compression. Ran off ether...Any thing specific i should look for? Im thinking maybe just a tune up and itll be good idk. ( plug, gas, carb clean, air filter, oil, etc) or is this machine known for any defects? I didnt think u could kill a honda but just making sure.......Thanks

I just picked a 1982 Big Red up last weekend for "parts" and was riding it around the yard the next day. Keep us updated on if you get it. Mine was only $100.00 and about the same condition.

I will be getting another 250R this spring. This what I always wanted to haul my 250R around in when I had it. Now I got my Elky and now I just need my trike.

I think the Elky is an awesome choice for a Hauler!!!!!

Didnt get the trike the wiring was screwed the plug wire went no where...there was a redneck key and electric start(original was stuck in) no headlight or cover. Then when i went to pull it it wouldnt budge and he went to take the recoil off asks "theres no oil gonna come out right" im like NO. So he takes tht off and spins the recoil BACKWARDS and then forward a bunch of times and comp. come back. Needed ALOT!

Yes he is, with his dry humor. The El Camino is an acquired taste. It's like the Moxies of soft drinks.

Thats a good eye on the dry sense of humor... The only El Camino I really liked were the 59's.... (at least you didnt say Ranchero!) ((GAG))
