I got one 1985 200s and just wanna kno how popular and how much fun can you have on one of them? Im still in the process of getting it running but the few times i did have it running I had a ball riding up a down the road. but i havnt gotten to go onto dirt yet.

They are a blast to ride! Light and torquey for a 200cc. Not sure if you get lots of snow in Washington but they best time to ride them is during winter. They can go through a lot of snow. Make sure you know its limits before hurting yourself, they can get really tipsy IMO especially with round knobby tires.

yeah i have noticed that when i got it started one time it was my first time ridin one that i got to steer and control the throttle and i had it up on to wheels. scary but after i while i have to say i have fun. and i wish it was running right now. it had snowed to day. like 1 or 2 inches not alot. but i wanted to ride it.

someone wouldnt happen to know were you can find parts for a 200s?

[ailll1]

You can get some from Ebay and I also heard about Denniskirk and Bikebandit but I never bought anything there

ok. do you know if their are plows for a 200s? i have this grumpy neighbor on my road that doesnt like me riding and seeing as its snowing i figured if i could get a snow plow attachment for my quad he wouldnt have a reason to get mad at me for plowing a road thats a dead end and plows wont come down.

I dont think they make plows for this trike. The 200s model wasnt made for plowing or hardworking. Not the best to put a plow on a chain driven machine, too much stress on the chain. Plus you would have difficult to push throw the snow, its too lightweigh to get good traction. A Big Red would be more appropriate for plowing.
I know some guys on here use their BR to plow.

I take my 200 through mud and streams.. Its hard to get stuck with 25" tires on it. I've had it up to the seat in water and it went right through. Gets light in water though due to the large tires.

you can put a snorkel on it and go under water. if you get good at water wheelies you can go into four foot of water. some axle paddles and it would be unstoppable in the mud. i have 27" tires on my 185s. the tires are skinnies so i don't have a problem with it getting light, plus the axle paddles help weigh it down. as for snow, we don't get enough normally to go ride in. we are lucky if it sticks to the ground.

i saw a plow for the 200 on craigslist about 2 weeks ago. i almost got it but figured it would kinda suck plowing with no reverse.
