83 250r or 85 tri z?

[250r_doverdemon]

hey i have my choice of a 83 250 r that a guy is willing to trade for my near mint 1984 200x cept my motors blown since he needs a parts bike..i also could pick up a decent tri z for $1500 and i was wondering what yall think i should go for..ive been a honda guy cause theyre bullet proof but yamaha aint bad either..

Simple. Trade the X for the R, and then get the Z.

Personally I would go with the Tri-z. I have never owned a tri-z but have owned every gen of Honda 250r's. I like the water cooled engines aswell vs the air cooled. Note for guys reading this: my opinion! Not bashing air foolers. But that being said, the Honda's are easier to get parts for. Tri-z's seem to have some common parts that are really hard to get. An 83R, parts seem to be common. So it's entirely up to yourself. All my opinion of course.
Guess after that I really didn't help, good luck.

Best answer!! I never thought of that, but I agree totally.

ha i only wish! but being a 15 yr old farmers son with barely a part time job and still trying to get my truck on the road i was thinking going for the r although i would love to have that tri z!

thats your answer go for the 250r. get your truck on the road. so you can pick up the Lady's and bring them home and take them for a fast ride. and save up $$ after that for a tri z.

ha yeah i think thats a better route too. cant too a nice lifted dark green 70 chevy 1 ton 4x4 with a nice r in the back :D

personaly i would and did go for the z when i was 15( almost 4 years ago) I dont regret it, since then ive had 84 r and didnt like it..My tri z is mine for life

Well since you can get the 250R for a trade I would do that, get your truck on the road with a nice 250R in the back. The Tri-Z's are awesome but so are 250R's. And its fun riding a 3 wheeler in winter, but sometimes its nice getting in a dry heated cab when you need to go somewhere.

Go the R, sounds like you don't have the cash at the moment to support the Z. Liquid cooling and rarer parts will all make for extra complications that may impact on your riding time.

If the R is a goer in fairly good nick, I'd be jumping at it if I was you.

P.S. I Love Z's, I'm just thinking about what would be best fit for your circumstances.

if you ride hard get the honda you will thank yourself the first time you break it

[Chazz of Blades]

I feel your pain, I'm 16 with no job due to excessive undergrading, out in the sticks, trading trikes all the time. Being broke aint no fun. I did pass up on an R recently, and I have an '86 Tri-Z coming to decide if it wants to stay Sunday.


And admittedly, I can ride any of my Hondas harder, longer than any other trike brand I've had.

[250r_doverdemon]

getting an r soon..deals been on hold since hes waiting on a couple parts and i dont have much cash..once my trucks sold its ridding time!

[sledcrazyinCT]

if the R is running then theres your sign. You 200x will cost you to fix or you can be running a fooler for nothing. $1500 would fix your truck up for sure The Z would be fun but we all need our trucks
