im guessing its a 1984 200e? i have a 1984 TRX200 basically the same bike but mine is an atv.. pretty slow.. i kept up to dads 450 foreman, around 80km/h not bad i guess so id think your bike would be about the same..

Sadly, how fast you can go is limited by the terrain you can find. The largest area I know of around Homer are the flats out toward the head of Kachemak Bay. Be careful, they aren't flat; watch for creeks and soft spots.

was cruising at about 30-40 up in some mountain roads on sunday on a 200es, but I'm a fatty so that was down hill with a tail wind

About 40-45 on a good day for me. But a big red isn't a race trike, and it never will be.


For what it was made for, a Big Red is the best of the best, for what its not made for, it's a big slow tank, but a tank none the less.
