Hey guy, it looks to be an 83 or 84 model. The 85 and up models featured red/white/blue plastics.

Easiest way to tell a 83 from an 84 is to look at the swinger... 83 is a "tube" swinger, 84-85 is a "square" swinger. 85 were red, but had blue seat with 200X on the side of it. A;so think the fork boots were different too. Lower forks were alum not painted black.

It has the Hondaline front fender brace (basically unnecessary unless you have a fender extender :D ) and the optional Chevron tires which are kinda cool. You always see them in the Hondaline catalog, but I've never seen them on an actual trike.

If it runs, $500 isn't a bad price at all.. Go buy it already!

BUY IT!!! It looks pretty clean, if you got the cash, go for it. If you don't got the cash... put it on the visa!!

The guy said just needs ............. I heard that before :D

Did you inspect it well up close? What's broke on it, anything?

Honestly a picture that far away, anything looks good. That 500 can turn into a lot more very quickly.

I couldn't give you an opinion till you know more detail and better pictures.

How about some close ups?

Make sure you stand it up and check the underside also.

check for spark and compression if it has both
buy it before that $500.00 burns a hole in your pocket
ive bought an 84 and an 85 neither of them were in as good shape as this one

Too late I drove from NY last night and Bought it. :w00t:

The Bar on the back if for Taking your Mother in Law for long rides through mud and wheelies as she gets a great view of whats behind you.

Im gonna leave it on for anyone who want to rent the trike to take their mother in law for rides.

Any takers? only $50 bucks an hour and mother in law not included. :naughty:
