Nicholson made lots of trike frames. There were changes from his earlier frames to his later frames. It doesn't hardly get any cooler than this....Well, I do know of a Nicholson that's coolest of all, but that's another story.

Cagiva and Nicholson 500 for sale. May be a bad month for the bank account! LOL If I picked up this Nicholson, I don't know if my good buddy would want to give me any of his turbo secrets though?

I only have one and it's a 90/110 chassis. That is a sexy machine. I would hate to take it out of it's area, but those are super, super, super cool. Fighting back the urge.......

I wouldn't blame you Veal, if I had the money I'd snatch it in a heartbeat, but $500 goes a long way for a broke teenager.

It sure didn't go very high. Do you mind if I ask what your hoping to get for it? Tax return time is coming and I will have some money to spend on a bike. I really like this 500.

No I was high bidder at $1,800 and never met the reserve. I hate those games when the owner set a very low starting price and has the selling price way hi. Oh well such is life. Glenn O

1,800 IMHO that's too low and apparently the seller thought so also

I agee. Worth twice that maybe.
Supose for coversation, the seller put $2750 on it. He may not get any action, and not really have any idea what people were willing to pay....
I tend to think if someone wants someting bad enough they'll put their wallet on the table and make a stab at it. You can always try contacting the seller to see if they will tell you what they are looking for out of the item, or make a play for an off eBay deal for an instant, fee free pay day... (risky). Sometimes (friendly) comunication is key. Do a little @$$ kissing, and you may get what you bargined for. Just mt .02
